HOLDS UP MONEY
FOR FOR UNION UNION BANK
Auditor KenwOrthy Returns
$4,000 Repayment Bill
Without His Approval

City Auditor Charles R. Kenworthy
last night returned to Council without
his approval the warrant drawn by
order of the last Council in favor of
the Union National Bank for $4,000
for money borrowed. There is not
sufficient funds in the incidental and
miscellaneous appropriation to meet
the check. The communication was
referred to the finance committee. 1t
follows
The warrant for $4,000 drawn by
order of Council in favor of the Union
National Bank and chargeable to the
incidental and miscellaneous appro-
priation, is returned herewith without
approval. After deducting the war
rant for $6,6S2.31, drawn in favor of
John W. Brady, city solicitor, for the
purchase of a wharf; the balance to
the credit of the Incidental and Mis-
cellaneous appropriation is but $19,-
412.5S. This would necessitate the
transfer of $9,5S7.42 to the incidental
and miscellaneous appropriation be-
fore the enclosed warrant can be ap-
proved.
Very respectfully,
Charles r. Kenworth, City Auditor.
The wharf mentioned by Mr.. Ken
worthy is the one located at the foot
of Church street on the Christiana
river
In addition to this other legaeies
were left by the last Council. A conf
munication was received from the
Board of Education with regard to the
81 .SO3.O3. which the last Council with
held from the monthly appropriation
of that body and refused to refund.
The board asked the new body TO
make good this amount It also re-
quested that the Council advance It
S2.400 to be deducted from the next
appropriation to tide It over present
financial difficulties Both matters
were referred to the finance COM
mittee.
! The Board OF Water Commissioners
asked for $4,000 on account of its
quarterly appropriation. This depart
ment has outstanding bills amounting
to $4,000 and when the payrolls are
allowed there will be no money to the
credit Of the board. This communi-
cation also was referred to the finance
committee.
