<br />Council to send back to the Finance Committee, with the Public Property Committee, for further con-
<br />sideration of an appropriation for re-arranging the lights in the Council Chamber~ and to consider
<br />also a re-arrangement of lights in the office of Clerk of Court.
<br /> Mr. Langhorne objected to this, stating that it was not what the Finance Committee had recom-
<br />mended, but the Committee had recommended "that the appropriation ~r a change of lights in the Coun-
<br />cil Chamber be no% allowed."
<br /> Whereupon. the Vlce-Chamrman of the ~omm~t~ee~ mn rep~y, agreed to N~. Langhorne~s statement
<br />and said further that he had inadvertently signed the amended report instead of the report intended
<br />by the Committee, and would now substitute the Committee's report for the report Just read.
<br /> The explanation was accepted by ~th~body~ wi~ the recommendatio~as inee=te~above~
<br />
<br /> Mr. Langhorne~Zhought~ moreover~ ~hat there was some discrepancy in wording of the section in
<br />regard to payment of bills held up by the Auditor, the recommendation not showing the exact intent
<br />of the Committee in. the premises; and, on his motion, said section was recommitted.
