“Well, if you have left that out, tell us the expenditure of the city. No doubt you intend to cut down any items that are excessive.”“The fact is, I haven't had time yet for that either.”“Oh, then we will postpone the business of making the city richer; for how is it possible to look after income and expenditure without knowing what they are?”
