FINANCIAL ILLUMINATION
BRILLIANT BUT T00 BRIEF

ALDERMAN MORRISSEY MAKES
FOR CITY’S GOOD WHICH

A ES A CALCULATION WITH ZEAL
18, ALAS, DASHED BY A

DELUGE FROM THE MAYOR.

A brilliant financial light shone

upon Alderman Morrissey’s in-
telligence last night. He dis-
covered that some $40,000 have

been laid out on a pole line for
the city lighting system which
will probably be needed for the
hydro electric system. “Why not
obtain a reimbursement of $40,-
000 now for the general fund
from the hydro electric advances
guaranteed?” he asked, adding,
“If we are working on a system
of robbery of one fund to another
we may as well get in right.”
The Mayor said that there were

 

too serious objections to Alder-
man Morrissey's plan. One was
that every cent of the hydro elec-

tric appropriation would be
needed to bring the water in
from Shawatlans Lake and the
other was that Mr. Claney of the
Bank of Montreal was flatly op-
posed to making any advances
involving the taking of money

from one fund to give to another.
