the general fund and used for some of the other projects which sare needed far more than the heating system 2"
 Mayor Quigley, commenting on the $500 matter, said some of the council members mentioned it as an expense which might we'll be fore gone, but as he viewed it. the sys- tenn is inadequate, the boiler being in the central fire station with pipes running under the ground to the garage. The garage consequently IS not properly heated. The garage commission is conducting the gar age at a profit of about s200 month, the mayor said, whereas oth- CT commissions ran it at an expense to the city.
 Alderman Johnson said he would not approve of the expenditure un- less bids were obtained by the ga- rage commission and presented to the council for final action. It would not be proper, from his point or view, to authorize an expenditure Of that amount without bids.
 Wants Public Works Report
 Councilman w. G. Gibney of the first ward proposed at the confer ence that in the future the public works board give the council a monthly report on the work being done and a program of contem- plated work for the following month, and Chairman Humphrey agreed that it could be done to mu- tual advantage.
 Assuring the chairman that he meant no criticism, Councilman Gibney explained that council mem- bers cannot find time to make per- sonal inspections of all the work being done about the city and if they knew from month to month what was done and what was con- templated there would be a better understanding. He felt that the board of public works and common council have never been sufficiently cooperative. He will introduce d resolution at the meeting tonight requesting the board to make the monthly reports.
 Sablotsky Dislikes Portable School
 Another matter of importance scheduled for action at the meeting, but which was not discussed at the conference, is resolution to be pre- scented by Councilman Samuel Sa- blotsky of the sixth ward request ing the school board to investigate the practicability of abandoning the portable building at the Stanley school. corner of Wells and Stanley streets, and report back to the coun- cil at the next regular meeting.
 Tt is regrettable that children of and years of age must sit in a portable building over the cold ground and with insufficient heat during the cold winter months '' Councilman sablotsky said today. When they leave the building they must walk in the open to the rest rooms exposing themselves to sick ness, while other children are housed in comfortable buildings at all times. I do not know what remedy there is for the situation but I believe the school board should make every ef- !, fort to make other provisions at this school"
 Councilman sablotsky will also present petition requesting the board of public works to make need cd repairs on Lyle and Pendleton roads.
