Frequently when the committee is in session citizens call on the mayor on business and are ob'ligcd to state their mission. often of a private nature, hefore the assembled alderman. Others. `preferring to wait until the end of the meeting. are forced to spend the intervening time in one of the onld corridors'of the city buildings. It is suggested that the room now set npnrt for the city solicitor be utilized as n commit- tee room by the members of the finance heard. a door connecting the two rooms. This would loavethe mayor's oice per- fectly private at all times. nnd wtuld n ot l interfere with the duties of the city solicit tor. " "' Land or? Linux.

From the notes the inspectors expected to realize between $1,000 and 81.500.
