the public use, and report the accomplishment of this
policy to the Council". Councilman Lindenmeyer mow

be drawn providing that the necessary money, i.e. the
differential between the budget and the expenses, be with-
drawn from the fund declared as undistributed reserve;
seconded by Councilman Lindenmeyer and carric:' S - o.
