cize the amount of our expenditures.
It is true that our expenditure have
been large during 1 he past six mouths.
I ul wo thought il would he lienor lo
pus,a the vterk during lln good lunulas
when ihe days were lout, rather than
wail until the bad weaiher sol in. whoa
il Would be ili,possible lo obtain g I re

horn fully iloinniistr an .1 in the past few
weeks. Suppose we had seen fit 10 di
vide Ihe money al our disposal into
twelve opinl pans, reserving one part
tor each mouth in the tear. I'ou't you
see what lolly tit. it would have been,
and how l.ailly the city's money would
I: ive been .-pent '.'
We believe lhat Upon refleelion every
one will bo convinced of ihe wisdom of
our eoni-M-. In managing our lb-part-mont
wo have siudiod carefully every de
lail and tried to pursue that course dic-
latid by g I business niel hods which
would in our judgiiieiH secure the groat
osL benefits lo our city. Wo have tri.sl
to direst our department of all soiitiinoiii
and run it on 00111,111011 soiu-c principles.
The l!oa,ii! can rest nssiirod that when
over we exhaust, the appropriation allot
ted to our depart incut, we w ill 00:1-0
work. It is not our purpose to spoi.il a
dollar beyond that, amount, birr we ,1"
feel that Ihe hi-st interest of the oily
will lie promoted if the committee is al
lowed to say when they can 11 so the
money 10 "the best, advantage.
