The opinion
On Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
In stating the defendant’s contention in this case, we inadvertently omitted the word "prior” oh page 10 of our opinion.' The defendant’s contention "was that “the court erred in ordering the City to appropriate out of the general fund a sum' adequate to maintain the department, and in no event, an amount less than that
required
prior to 1921.” Therefore, our original opinion is corrected to read accordingly.
With this explanation and correction, the application for a rehearing is refused.
