Urown.
"Thirty-nine per ecu ," lcplled th
Comptroller.
"And how much has Hie City Hud
Ret crown In that time."?"
"ItouBhly, 104 per cant.," sale! the
Comptroller.
-Mr. frcnderB-nst explained that tho
budjret simply reflects tho public np-
prcclutlon of tho city's iiecessltlra.
In tho lam fifteen yearn many tilings

"A great deal of our dimculty could

concerning tho operation was not

thereafter, an appeal for clomency is
