ey should be placed in one fund under control of the president of the police ! board.
 The judge raised the ante on the | estimated amount necessary for the employment of doctors, sherifs and interpreters from $500 to, $1,200. He claimed the appropriation of last year was not sufficient and with the grow ing business of the court this increase was necessary. The judge also asked for a deficiency fund of $3.0O0 which he said existed at present from the last fiscal year. In all the judge esti- mated that the board would need $4.- 300 more than was. asked for in the regular estimated appropriation.
 The total appropriation asked for by Tax Collector Howard F. Smith for
 his department was $6,860.- His esti- mate of $50 for telephone was prompt Iy cut because the telephone service isl now under the appropriation of the city hall committee. This leaves the appropriation which the board will consider $6. 800, practically the amount asked for last year
 The building commissioners were represented by Commissioner Wrn
 Martin in their request for s6, ,285 for the ensuing year Commissions Kirk said 1t was a crying shame because there was not sufficient provision for inspection of sanitary plumbing in Bridgeport due to the facts that the building inspectors time is all taken up by the inspection Of carpentry and masonry work on buildings MT.

 I For the personal tax collectors John F. Temple appeared in support 1 of their requisition for $5,290.58. It developed that the mayors plan of Hast year to have outlook envelopes used for this years bill instead of resulting in a. saving cost more than last year.

 appropriate the fu1 amount for saJ- 4 aries of the collectors as their terms would expire two months before the end Of the fiscal year and the present collectors would not be reappoinfed. I The registrars of voters were rep
 resented by James H. Rooney on their I requisftion for $6,648.
