mn the various committees, IL has
been my aim to divide the older
members so that each committee
may have the benefit Of the expert

An innovation last year. intro

which believe should be continued
by the Board of Estimates this year.
was that by which number OF the
committees held public meetings In
the council chamber for the discus
sion OF the principal items in the va
rious funds. These meetings. held
I'm the evening. gave opportunity for
many persons having earnest views
on these different subjects To ex-
plain their opinions. Such open and
public meetings afford the best
means for determining the merits Of
the propositions discussed, and also
for informing the people Of the city
generally. through the press. OF the

There il no place for fads or
