TRANSFER $4,000 TO
PAY BRIDGE Bill

Levy Court got into session Al
11.3O o'clock this morning to finish
the work OF yesterday. < resolution
by Mr. Burris to credit the First and
Second districts of Wilmington with
$1,000 from the funds Of the River
Front bridge brought on a discussion
as to whether there was enough
money in the fund to make the trans
fer.
Mr.. Elliott said II was very import
ant that the finance committee should
know what allowances are desired by
the various institutions for the COM
ing fiscal year. The workhouse, he
said. is asking for $4,000 or $4,000 a
month. He said that there are such q
number of unpaid bills that the courl
should allow the workhouse $4,000
for the new fiscal year, but no action
was taken.
The attempt Of Mr.. Burris' to &c
his resolution through brought oul
the fact that the money is TO be use'
I in paying the Jones Construction
Company's bill Of s1,76S21 for worl
on Eleventh street bridge, which bill
the county controller has refused 4
sign because OF lack OF funds. TIT
purpose Of tho resolution was &
take the $1,000 from the special appro
priation for the Third street bridge
and this raised the question o
whether the fund was intended for
specific purpose and could not be use
for any other.
/ Mr.. Elliott moved the adoption o
the transfer resolution and il wa
carried, the court deciding II coul
legally make the transfer.
