~ INGS.

The Grand Army encampment COM
mittee will not receive $1,000 from the
city for the entertainment fund. tho
a resolution to that effect was passed
at the. last meeting of the council.
Mayor Jones has refused to sign the
resolution on the ground that the ap-
preparation will cause an overdraft Of
5000 in the fund from which it must
be drawn. At the next meeting Of the
council new resolution will be intro
duced that will be within the amount
available. in which case the resolution
will be approved by the mayor.
Following the passage of the resolu.
ton, City Controller Dan G. Brown
called the attention Of the mayor and
the council to the fact that the funds
at hand in the unclassifed division Of
the current expense fund, from which
the appropriation must be. drawn, were
not sufficient, and that he could not
allow the overdraft that would be nee
essary. The amount Of the entire ap-
preparation for the year was $500.
