foliage, which forms the background
for the artistic work, also stands out
in bold relief. 1t is very attractive
and deserving of place on the wall.

Dear Sir-In answer to your COM
munication of December Sth, 1911, re-
garding the condition of the sub-sur-
face drainage on Pelican avenue in
the vicinity of Seguin street:
1 would state that more or less com.
plant has been received regarding the
drainage on this street for several
years. This department has endeav-
ored, on numerous occasions, to recti-
fly the small defects in construction
and has succeeded in relieving these
minor defects; but, not considering the
stoppage of the catch basins by trash,
which will render any drainage inef-
fective, no matter how constructed,
the drainage pipes on this street do
not afford proper relief for the reason
that they are very much too small to
carry OF the run-off from an ordinary
rainfall, even II they were installed in
the most perfect manner, which they
are not.
Attached you will find a blue print
showing the sub-surface drainage as
installed on Pelican avenue at Seguin
street at present, which shows the

OF the board later in the evening to write
the department that the board cannot di-
vert the course of the brook or sewer

SCHOOL APPROPRIATIONS.
L. J. Walsh, chairman Of the school
board, appeared before the board to re-
quest larger appropriations for the COM
mon school fund and the schoolhouse
fund, giving reasons therefor. The school
board asked that the school sppropria-
tion be 81 500, the sehoolhouse sppropri-
alton 500, and that the high school and
textbook appropriations be the same as
last year 81 800 and $3.50 respectively.
rhe action OF the city government on
these funds is told in the budget of appro-
priations as printed above.
OTHER BUSINESS.
Bond of ID. l.. Fields, $500, as constable
at-lsrge, was approved and filed.
The mayor was instructed by vote OF
the board to employ John A. Peters as at
torney for the city in two suits against the
city now pending-one brought by William
Nevells for injuries to a horse through al
legged defective highway, and one brought
by Fred Durham to recover amount he
claims due him from the city on an as
signment of a road credit by Henry Col
pitts.
Aid. Moor raised the question Of the
duties OF auditor. Under the city ordi-
nance creating the Office of auditor, his
duties are defined as follows:
. y che shall audit each month the
accounts of the collector and treasurer, and
shall submit to the mayor and board OF alder
men at each monthly meeting n statement in
detail showing the city's standing, with its
several appropriations, the credits and debts
and balances OF each fund"
Aid. Moor said he understood when he
voted to elect an auditor, that that office
was to relieve the board OF aldermen OF
the detail work OF examining bills pre-
sented to the city for payment, and to
present monthly reports OF the standing
OF the city's finances. he did not see the
necessity OF the auditor examining ac-
counts OF the collector, who was under
contract.
The matter was discussed at some
length, bat no action was taken. Mayor
Cunningham advised the board that in
his opinion the only way in which duties
of the auditor could be changed would be
by amending the city ordinance defining
the duties OF auditor.
The mayor announced the reappoint-
ment of +. f. Springer as janitor OF the
library building, which was confirmed by
the board,
