Dlnctor MacLaughlln of the Department
of .Supplies is held responsible for the
major portion of the deficiency when In
reality most of his share was created
through Councils' failure to appropriate
enouKh money for coal and other supplies
for the entire twelve month of the year
Tho item for coal for the water work and
other plant I fixed at S275 000 Most of
this coal was bought by th city on the

the city with large supplies of oal at a time
when the city had no rnorie to pay for the
supplies
To make up Items of this size from Items
for salaries and supplies is a shifting of
the burden and only postpones the final sit
