NO ACTION TAKEN
Finance Board Leaves Treas urer Strong to Sell Foun-
 tain Bonds.
NEW POINT FOR DAGGETT
Opinion is Asked as to Whether the Building Inspector Comes Under
 the New Law.

The board of finance last evening discussed several important city finan- cial matters which are pending, but as they did not require immediate action no votes were taken on them Tn the first place the shrinkage in the fund for the Bennett fountain on the green came up on the communication from City Treasurer Strong, who announced that Prof. Weir had asked for pay ,ment in currency and informed the city that the investments If disposed of, would bring G'~'l about $S,S00, while the sum required was $9,400. Inasmuch as the agreement is that the city may withhold $150 until the pavement which is to be laid, is com pleted, this makes the net shortage to be furnished by the city of $45o
 Some of the members of the board were very anxious to see the money saved for the city if any way could be found to do so. The matter was passed with the understanding that Treasurer Strong be notified to sell the investments and that the city will meet the deficit Some possible way out of the dileu ma will be looked up by the mayor and MT. Rowe and report made at the meeting next week.
 The letter from the board of educa- tidn informing the finance board that the estimates were $2,00O short of the amount needed for the salary increase voted to go into effect next September and that unless the $2090 was furn- ished the increase would not go into ef- feet was received. The board took is- sue with the members of the board of education reiterating that it had in tended to include in the estimates | enough for the increase of salaries but failing to consider any additional sum of money. The matter was tabled, The finance board members held that the board of education could save $20OO more than it estimates on the rssigna- tions and substitute salaries while the party of the second part insists it can- not do so
 The board of finance has prepared question which Corporation Counsel | Daggett must declde. It regdFuS the salary of Building Inspector Austin. The board of aldermen fixed his sal ary at $2,2O0, which the board of l finance later cut down to $2,100. Now the question arises whether the chang l ing of the building inspectors salary comes under the new provision of the charter which requires that increases made by the board of aldermen must be approved by the board of finance, or whether the action of the board of aldermen is final 5t 3#4iH
 In the latter case the salary of $2,g00 which the aldermen set will be in force, Inf the former $2,100 is effective as ap- proved in the ordinances.
 A communication was received from | the board of aldermen recommending again that the salary of the chief of the Lire department be increased 10 $3,000. | It was laid or the table.

Mr.. Harrington then informed
the council of a kick registered

and instructed Mr.. Childs to
shoot all dogs not having the tag

Mr.. NcFadyen then reported

for 10 per cent more than the

The claims were turned down as
allowed by the committee, and
then Mr.. Duncan moved that
they be allowed as presented and
not paid out for want OF funds.
The motion was lost by the
squeeze play, the mayor voting
with the Republican councilmen.
Hammer entered protest that

The city attorney was then called
upon to report upon the WORTH

we're stated to have been good
but had proven unsatisfactory

but upon objection being made
to voting upon matters that were

directed to read out the names

mostly for electrical and other
