Before the budget received its second
reading and passage under suspension OF
rules, E. E. Brady addressed the board.
urging economy in appropriations and
care in the expenditure of the city's
money. He called attention to one item in
last years printed report which shows ap-
parently that one man had been paid
twice for the same service. 1t was not
large item in itself, but it showed the need
OF care in auditing bills.
James A. McGown was called upon, and
gave few figures which he had compiled
himself from the city report of the expen-
ditures in the several departments. He
criticized the report as not giving correct
information as to expenditures from the
different funds, many items appearing un-
der funds to which they did not properly
belong.
he urged the board especially to make
change with regard to the special fund for
the care OF cemetery lots. He said this
should be treated as a trust fund, depos-
tied or invested, and the interest used for
the care OF cemetery lots instead OF the
city itself paying interest on the fund.
The city ordinance, under which this
fund was created, provides for the appli-
cation Of. the money so deposited to the
city debt. This is practically what is now
being done, and the board decided to
make no appropriation to provide for con-
verting this into trust fund.
The matter of interest on taxes after
pressed himself as against charging
interest.
A recess was taken to Tuesday evening,
March Is. at 7.30 o'clock.

Tuesday morning. Bear this in
mind. We make no exceptions.
