the City that was not done under the aldermanic form? Has there ever been an alder

doing now?
What excuse is there today for the expenditure of one dollar other than for payment of
salaries of the police and fire departments?
Why should not all the other outlays of City Funds be saved? Of course the water department is ex

have to pay interest on money borrowed to pay interest on the water bonds.
