and the street cleaning funds. as ordered
by the last meeting of the city council.
The council. at the time, put over an
aggregate residue from the different funds
amounting to about 1900, which was placed
in the interest and sinking fund.
Mayor Trsinor. In discussing the trans
fer, gave It as his opinion that the money
from the two funds could not be arbitrarily
transferred. The street cleaning fund, he
said, was made up Of moneys supplied by
the county board. and the law provided
that the poundmaster OF the city should
gather stray dogs during the interval be-
tween May l and September 1, which pro-
vision, the mayor thought implied that
the money should remain TO the credit Of
the dog fund until after September 1. The
mayor. however. took occasion to say that
he was well pleased with the action Of the
council in experimenting the interest and
sinking fund from the other sources used
by the city fathers. He said Il had always
been his policy to retire as much of the
eity's debt as could be conveniently and
legally discharged, without Gripping any
other fund.
