board Mr.. Hillersohn returned the
check to City Council and requested
that body to give the money to the

time the check has been i'm the haids
OF the city and the finance committee
of Council has been in a quandary
what to do with It.
At a meeting of the finance commit
tee held last night the check question
was brought up and discussed at some
length, but no action was taken be-
cause of the absence from the meeting
of Councilman Benson, of the Seventh
Ward, the Republican member of the
committee.
Several suggestions we're made, how
ever, as to what to do with the check,
and it is likely that Council will dis
pose of the matter tonight 1t was
suggested that the money be turned
over to the coal fund for the poor or
the police Christmas tree fund for the
poor children Of the city and it is
likely that the money will find its way
into one of these funds.
