No issue was raised save that presented Capt. Thomas E. White. chairman of the Memorial day con- mittee, past commander of the 1 Spanish War Veterans, who told the aldermen:
 We're all at sea. We've spent about $690 with the assurance that this expense item was provided, as has been customary over many years, by an item of $700 in the budget" Captain White told the board that the letter from Controller Rowland reached him last Saturday morning. after all arrangements had been made and month after the con- troller had promised that the bills would be paid. as usual. This re- canting of the controller from his original position. and too late to halt commitments of the commit tees, puzzled the veterans commit tees, the spokesman remarked.

 He sought authorization of the board for the expenditures and Re- publican Aldermanic Leader George R. Kingston moved that the matter be referred to committee of three.

 Tt is true that the charter allows the board to restrict the amount Of money for parades and receptions" " he declared. But Memorial day is a solemn occasion, neither public reception nor parade. l know of no reason why the controller can't honor the acquisitions. The board has not restricted this budget item to the amount stipulated in only one section of the charter provision con- corning such observances." Alderman Kelly moved that Alderman Kingstons motion be amended to provide recommendation that the board of finance direct the controller to honor expense requisi- tions up to $700 and this was sec onded by Republican Alderman C.
