and members of the executive body
recommended the expenditure of S4,-

time. next Wednesday morning. In
order that the appropriations may be
made without a ballot and the neces-

tails. the council has kept the amounts
asked for below $1,000.
Where appropriations of $1,000 or
more are voted upon it is necessary.
under the charter, that the vote be by

is the reason why four of the most
important appropriations are for 5000.
To Satisfy Citizens
The appropriations which the coun-
Gil recommends, except in the matter
of revising the city ordinances, are
to accede TO the requests of groups of
citizens. These requests have come
20 the council since the first OF the

The council recommends an APP.
preparation of $3.50 for the Red Cross
Association. This is an annual ap-
preparation usually made at the an
nual city meeting.
To continue the improvements
started last year on Sabnn street the
council recommends an appropriation
of 1899.
To revise the city ordinances an.
other 1929 is recommended.
