no more than S35,OA during tne next
six months. This amount was fixed
/ by the city council in the semi-an-
nual appropriation ordinance adopted
Monday evening, after considerable
delay ana discussion. 1t may as well
lee remarked right here that this sum
of money is going to be insufficient
and other means will have to he de-
vised to keep the wolf from the muni-
clpal door.
The ordinance provides for cNpcndi-
u.res during the fiscal half year end
ing June 30. 1912 The ordinance had
been drawn by the city solicitor and
the finance committee and it's con-
tents were unknown to the two Demo-
cratic members of council until just
! "a few minutes before vote was call
cd for The Democrats didn't think
they had quite had time to go into
the details Of the thing for that rea-
son both members Clary and Sautter
voted against suspension of the
rules at the conclusion of the first
reading. This made a second read
ing impossible until the next regu-
lar meeting.
The city solicitor couldn't quite
muke out what had happened and
there was more or less disappointment
manifest in the faces of the Repub-
lican members.
4 few other matters were taken up
and then the Republican members be-
gan to explain to the Democrats that
Tuesday was pay day for the police
men. .nremen, and other city employees,
lard unless the ordinance We're
ladopted last night. the mon would
draw no money today. 1t was also
very carefully explained that no
slight was intended by not permitting
! the Democrats to glimpse the Ordin-
lance before Il was introduced.

leratlon of the matter was moved and
