follows:
"It has lately been brought TO

\ 1918 a warrant was ordered drawn
by the council, and drawn by the
mayor for s5S6.S5, on the library
fund for the establishment and
maintenance of the free public !.
brary, and that this amount was ther
placed to the credit. Of the genera
revenue fund OF the city.
"I first desire to call your atten
