MAYOR AND GORGAS VOTE 'AYE' AT LAST [Continued Front First Page.] provement work from the first, to find the money. So at last week's session of Council they inspected Mr. Gorgas' annual re port. easily found sufficient balances to make up the deficit in the River Wall fund caused by the unexpectedly large award of the W. H. Opperman arbitrators, and thus financed the closing of the gap. Whereupon the Mayor and Mr. Gor gas to-day quit fussing and voted "aye." Opperman to Get Check Council followed the passage of the Lynch ordinance by adopting a reso lution authorizing the payment of the Opperman award. Mr. Lynch will likely give the Oppermans their check for $22,767.09 to-morrow. The ordinance placing before the people at the November election the choice of voting for the floating of another $300,000 improvement loan to pay for the construction of a modern concrete bridge over the Pennsy tracks from Allison Hill to Walnut street was passed finally. Committees consisting of William A. Mcllhenny, Dr. J. W. Storey, G. W. Straw, James Auter, Richard Dare and Edward F. Eisley, waited on Council for the purpose. The com mittee was represented by Attorney Robert Rosenberg who made an elo quent appeal for the passage the measure and supported this with two big petitions. One contained 1,367 names of voters from all over the city; another bore the signature of 512 women. Mayor Royal alone declined to vote on the ordinance. He owns property which will be directly benefited should a bridge be constructed there, he said, and after consulting with City Solici tor D. S. Seitz, he said he believed it best that he should not vote, even though he was heartily in favor of a bridge. That the sinking fund commission is preparing to float the remainder of the $160,000 of the 1913 $300,000 loan was indicated to-day when Mr. Gorgas offered a resolution providing for the absorbing of $60,000 of the water de partment balance in that much of the remaining loan. The other hundred thousand will be floated in the near future, the sinking fund commissioners having decided this yesterdav. An ef fort will be made .to dispose of the SIOO,OOO to banks and Mr. Gorgas says he does not fear that the four per cent, interest can easily be obtained. One year ago $140,000 of this sum was floated and of this amount $127,575.72 has been expended as follows: For sewers. $38,900.11; asphalt re pair plant, $19,912.56; parks, $52.- 10^.37; fire apparatus, $11,210.34: bridges, $4,770.34.
