The coming year will, it is believed, show a considerable 
diminution in the expenses of maintainance, the result of 
economies introduced by the Board, viz : the reduction of the 
number of employees, and their salaries, the discontinu- 
ance of the City office and the feeding of the Carnivora on 
horse meat. The latter item alone being a saving of over 
80 per cent, in the bills for meat.
