sible sources of money and find that it has no alternative but to
ask the Common Council for money to pay the salaries of these two
nurses. Unless the money can be found the services of these two
nurses will have to be discontinued August 31, 1950. The total
salary obligation for the remainder of this fiscal year amounts
