questing the Assessor to transmit on
or before the first day of July a veri-
fed report, separate from the assess
ment roll, containing a complete list
of all persons who refused or neglected
TO furnish a statement of their prop
erty.
The Finance Committee discussed the
advisability of amending the ordinance
relative to the installation of poles
on the public streets, so as to place
the supervision thereof entirely with
the Board Of Works. The ordinance al

causing conflict of authority between
the two departments. 1t IS proposed
to pass two ordinances one giving the
GTGC-
ton OF poles and the other placing the
control over the installation of electri-
cal works thereon in the Department OF
Electricity. The matter was referred
10 the Joint committee on Judiciary and
Electricity, which meets Thursday aft

sion street. between Second and Fifth

lit TO file blue print of the work

FUNDS TO pay it. An inquiry will be
