 Printing.

Printing.
 The aldermen held two meetings last night, one special session and an adjourned meeting. Chairman Blakes- lee presided and there were present Aldermen Bergen. Hurley, Tobin, Mur, ray, Filling, Stanley, Holmes, Buck, Hewitt and Callan.
 At the special meeting the recom- mendation of the board of public works that a special appropriation or $5,00O be made for the purpose of con- pleting work on the layout of streets already ordered By the board was unanimously adopted, although Alder man Murray acted as if he intended to oppose it, remarking when it came up that it was shame to see so many special appropriations asked for, con sidering the liberal appropriations made last year, and asked why the present boards could not live within the regular appropriations as well as their predecessors. He thought this extravagant use of the peoples money wasn't right and wanted to know what it all meant. City Clerk Nettle- ton explained what had happened the money appropriated last year, and Mir Filling said a good word in favor of the recommendation, after which 1t was put and carried.
 The special meeting then adjourned and the regular business was taken up The following draft of an ordinance was passed to be engrossed:

G. NJ. COOLEY. Secretary, B. H. DUPY, President. Mir Hewitt moved that it be received and placed on file. Mir Murray wanted to know if a vote to this effect had heen passed why it was not lived up to and inquired of the clerk if the union ldnel appears on HI clt! pfint- ing. MT Ne.tleton said 1t doesn't, and in answer to further questions replied that he didn't know why this is so. During the discussion it developed that the comptroller has charge of all this. whereupon MT Murray said that while tie comptroller is the purchasing agent for the city this does not give kim the right to ignore an order to purchase stock as directed by the Ennrd rf aldnrmen NIT Filling thought
