Whereas, since the adoption of the approprition ordinance for the fiscal year of 1920, an unforseen contingency has arisen because of the necessity for repairs, improvements and strengthening of certain buildings in Lincoln Park caused by holding therein in the autumn of 1920 of a county fair, the expense for which will, exceed the approprition heretofore made for the improvements and care of the public parks; and,
