should be dane.' He waa told to send

howthat ' the ; council would certainly
recognise th need of the health depart

There la a worse case than this con

At ita last meeting th council turned
down th request of th health depart

extra expenses. The next day attention
waa called to the fact that a misunder
standing would probably - result In a

on tha streets could not be cared for
because there waa no money to pay hla

It, has been the custom for ths health
department to receive an appropriation
for hospital . expenses -, whenever ths
money waa needed. Thla year the ex
panses of this item have been lower than
for several years. Tot the asms custom
was followed and th estimate made at
th first of the year was considerably
as than It was known would be needed. 1
