<br />t ~he report having been read, Mr. Langhorne objected to sections with regard to appropria-
<br /> lng $~0. out of any available fund~ i~ the Street Department fo= a valley gutter across Arms7
<br />trong street at Ann, and an approprzatzon of $90. out of any unexpended balances for the Pubhc
<br />Property Department, topay ~ bill of J. S. Wright for painting and papering offices of the City
<br />Treasurer and City Collector,~and he moved that these sections be struck out.
<br /> Mr. Langhorne's objection to the first of these sections was that the amount asked for was
<br />equivalent to a new appropriation, although Tt would come out of money for the Street Department
<br />and to the other section, that the body had never truly agreed to be responsible for this bill.
<br />
<br /> M~. Cart objected to the section with regard to making a~ail&ble the appropriation of
<br />allowed in the Budget for paving the south Side of Ann street, between Armstrong and Owens, be-
<br />cause, he said, the Committee would be using money tc pay for paving a street with a d~ad end,
<br />when there were other streets ih Park View more deserving of attention than Ann street, and he
<br />moved that this section be struck out.
