My objectionto Ordinance is that the ordinance does not provide that the same shall be drawn out of any fund. Without such a provision the Clerk would have no authority to drawn a Warrant now would he know what fund to draw the Warrant upon. The Warrant to be drawn under this ordinance should be drawn upon the Fire fund and the Ordinance should so provide. The printed Ordinances now used by the Council for apppriation will suggest the change required. This change can be made at once when the Ordinance will be approved.
