The Council agreed to meet with the Board, if convenient, on Friday,Jan.5th at 7:30 P.M. 14S -4-- Alder-:.ian Rogalsky pointed out that the Charity Department appropriation of $24,133. for this year would apparently be entirely exhausted by July 1st and recommended that the Council take definite and berhaps drastic steps to curtail this expenditure and recommended that a definite appropriation be made for each month and stated that a study of the grocery bills convinced him that Charity patients were losing and' the City was paying out about 20°10 excess for food and recommended that the Commissioner establish a list of staple foods for charity orders and get monthly prices thereon from the grocers, giving the orders only to such, grocers as would dispense only those foods permitted by the list and at the most favorable prices. Alderman Rogalsky also recommended that the Council advertise for confidential bids from the Medical profession and thereby appoint two Poor Doctors at 'fixed salaries to handle all medical and surgical charity cases. He also reco=lended obtaining bids for furnishing coal and bids from Undert-cVkers for burials. It was agreed, after some discussion of this problem, that the Coinlittee on Charities would confer with Commissioner Green in regard to the suggestions made by Alderman Rogalsky, and submit definite plans and recom.1endations at the next regular meeting. On motion meeting adjourned after a general informal discussion of the Paving and nesurfacina program, which is to be discussed witil the Board Friday night. �, City Clerk.
