Garditer vs. City of New Heme;
Construction of charter requiring that
"no appropriations shall be made, ex
cept for the necessary expenses of the
city and but by a concurring vote of
six-eighths of all the councSmen."
The plaintiff insists that the above
clause
wholly disables the members
of the board to appropriate any mon-
ey in the treasury to pay any but the
i necessary expenses of the administra
tion of the city government, and as to
these the appropriation must be, made
'. by .the concurring action of six of the
1 members to ' be effectual and valid.
The defendant construes the section
i as excepting unconditionally what are
termed the necessary expenses from
; the operation of the previous sweep
ing provision, and a limitation upon
the prohibition whereby by such a
' vote of six members in favor of an qx
' penditure outside of the necessary ek
j penses the appropriation "may be
' made. It must be admitted that the

preted as contended by the plaintiff.
The construction now adoptedlaces
these provisions in harmony.
It is not entirely correct to say as
does the plaintiffs counsel that the
Constitution imposes the' restraint
upon outside expenditures, and there
fore the restrictive words, if confined
to them, would be without force and
: meaningless.
! The Constitution prohibits the con
I tracting of a debt or the levying of
I any tax except for necessary munici

! a majority of the qualified voters; but
does not extend in terms to the dis
position of funds in the treasury of
