Alderman Gill asked the reason for the amount asked and it was explained that the full amount was not immediately necessary as it was an estimate of the total cost for the entire emergency period of certain administrative expenses, such as Clerk hire,heat,light and telephone. It was, therefore, suggestedthat a small amount be authorized and that addi.tionel sums might be appropriated if and when necessary. 182 B. C. -2- i�-I1-31 By Alderman dyers: seconded by Ald.
