received wire from an agent of the Automatic Voting Machine Com pany, of Jamestown, N. r., as fol- lows:
 Would expect rental contract for 10 machines at $l25 per machine, FOB, Jamestown, N. Y. Start payment January 1. 1889. If Board of Finance approves and ordered by controller, said amount if &C., cepted would apply against pur- chase price. Will hold this offer open until July 1.'
 Contention
 The matter of the new voting machines proved a principal conten- tion yesterday at the Board of Fi- nance meeting when Commissioner John H. Goss recommended that the matter be referred back to the Board of Aldermen with the com- ment that the board, December 30, last year, had voted purchase of the machines without such provis- ion made in the budget adopted two weeks earlier.
 Registrar Taller said today that the registrars had set up an item for purchase of the machines with view to the enlargement of the voting dis tricts by Mayor Franks Hayes non- partisan committee working on the change. The Board of Finance, he said, eliminated the item for the new machines, about $11,000.
 
 Expenses Incurred
 This was done, he said, in spite of the fact that the Board of Fi- nance left in the budget items call ing for the set-up of the 32 districts. The registrars have expended ap- proximately 5000 already in chang ing over the voting districts, 1t was remarked, and considerable print ing and supplies costs have been incurred.
 The matter will come before the meeting of the aldermen Monday night, it is inferred, and what &C., tion will develop there is unknown
