To report at the next meetings of Councils the number of phones needed for the Municipal Building, their location and cost. We have investigated this matter and find that four phones are needed for convenience of the several_Officer~ in this Building, gne in the office of the City Clerk, one in the office of the Sanitary Inspector with connection for office of the Auditor, one in the office of the City Engineer with connection for offLce of the ~ayor, and one in office of the Clerk of Court. But three of th~se phones only will be an additional expense, as the phone for the City Clerk's office is a free phone. The monthly cost of these phones, with their cor~uections~ would be $19.00~ and the cost of ins~al!ing them_properly through pipes would be $4B.00. It is recommended that the monthly cost of same be paid ~ut of a special appropriation to the Public Property Department, while the appropriation for installation be paid from the ap- propriation to the ~unicipat Building.
