The Mayor movd ijiat tho finance and and Works Committees should be combined, and explained that the work of the two could very easily be done by the one.

On the other hand it TO apparent that if the Finance Committee met first they would have no means of knowing vjjat the Works Committee might vant money for, and they would have nothing to do l>ut to pass accounts and forward a statement of the Eorpiigh finances.
