Mr Hartley told Mr. Uurni that so
far us lie knew there Is not a dollar
In sight for to pay the $1,870 that Is
usessed ngnlnst tho city for that
wcuk. The t Ity controller cannot drnv
a warrant until money Is provided Uy
councils mid none has been appropri

tho mnttcr Is that thcic Is absolutely
tin money In f Ight for this purpose-.
Mr Uurns had a consultation nfter
winds with Cltv Solicitor Vosbutg, hut
tho latter could sugp-est no lemedy for
the ellnVulty. As ho views the Bllua
tlon tho only thing for tho contractor
tu do, nfter h llnlshes the wmk, Is to
suo the city nnd get Jadgmont nnd
then proceed to negotiate the Judg
ment to tho lest possible ad imtajfe.
It Is likely such a course will bo pur
sued Thete was some talk of nsklng
court for a maneliuius to compel tin.
cltv rontroller to dmw a warrant, but
it is not likely that such action wil'
bo tnken.
Theio nio two other .rvors In the
cltv on which wotl: Is now in piogress
