ton relative to u special commission to
/ inquire into the feasibility of creating an
| advisory and consulting board on mu-
nicipal management is not tho inaugura-
] ton OF that movement 1t U.s. however, n
most important step.
| Tho Joint resolution was offered Mt The
| January meeting of the Board of Alder
| men by Alderman w II. Dnhney, OF
Madison Ward. A memorandum Of the
Introduction Of the resolution was pub
lishcd at the time. together with The
! fact of reference to the Committee
resolution will go to the Common Coun-t
Gil at It's March meeting. and possibly
| before then. AS 1t carries an apprOpria-
| ton OF 5000, 1t will DO referred imme-f
diately to the Finance Committee. un-
| less 1t be taken from that course by
suspension of the rules 1t Is improba bic
| that9any such suspension would be agreed
