mately $4,000 on hand. This surplus
none will be a good asset 10 start

prove sufficient to enable the city 20
close the current fiscal year with at
least a squared account. II not a fair
cash balance. The record Is most
notable and altogether creditahle to
all the agencies which co-operated 10

Surprising a. II may seem. this re-
suit is only what the law has ordained
for more than forty years. Not as TO a
cash balance of n designated
amount, but that the administration
shall he conducted each fiscal year
on a strictly cash basis-with all
claims fully met, ever though there
might not 10 a dollar Of balance. But

and disrerarded for many years, sc
