These allotmente to the various depart ments are made In anticipation of the in ,come of the municipality derived from the levy tor the general fund and receipta from tinea and licenses. The levy for the general fund Is re atrlcted by statute to 10 mills on the as sessed valuation of the city and this year la expected to bring In about (35,000. It Is ex pected that $65,000 will be necessary to run the city government for the fiscal year end ing March 31, 1903. This being the case the city will have to get at least $30,000 from Saloon and other license fines. The appropriations last year were: Balarles of city officers.... $ln.3S0 Police department 14.0(10 Fire department 15.500 Fire and police telegraph 2.m) Engineer's department 4.000 Streets and alleys 6.0)0 Printing and suppllea 1.300 Pound . Kleotlon 1.W0 Water ftuid (deficiency)...... 11, OW It la thought that several of these appro priations can be reduced this year, while othera will have to be increased. The salary list, amounting to $10,350, will re main the same. It Is made up as follows: Mayor, $900; auditor, $1,000; treasurer, $1,000; solicitor, $1,500; clerk, $1,060; deputy clerk, $900; physician, $250; aldermea, $2,000; custodian city building, $720; Judge of superior court (clty'e half), $1,000. While the police department waa run last year within the $14,000 appropriated. It waa only through the exercise of the strict est economy and a curtailing of the force. Kelt year the department will require an Increased allotment, as a new patrol wagon will have to be bought, also a horse. It Is expected this appropriation will have to bo at least $15,000, If not more. The same Is true of the fire department, tor the maintenance of which $15,500 was appropriated laat year. It la aald that the department will require at least $17,000 toext year. The expense of maintaining the fire and police telegraph system. It Is be lieved, can be reduced from $2,000 to $1,400 next year. The city engineer's department can atand. It la said, a reduction of $500 from the $4,000 appropriated last year. The Sams sum, $6,000, will probably be appro priated for the streets and alleys. This de partment also derives a revenue from the poll tax collections and a proportion of the county road fund levied within the city limits. The same appropriations will be re quired for the city pound and printing and Supplies. No appropriation will be necessary for lection expenses next year, owing to the fact that 1903 la an oft year, since the law providing for biennial city elections went Into effect. A reduction of $2,000, It la be lieved. Can be made for the next fiscal year In the amount needed to meet the deficiency In the water fund. Owing to the increased valuation thla year the 6-mlll levy for the water fund, the limit allowed by statute, "Will bring In about $17,500. aa against $16, (00 last year. The yearly hydrant rental Is $26,150, so the difference between It and the amount derived from the levy of 5 mills lias to be met out of the general fund. Davis sells giaat. I.

It Is possible the legislature may adjourn within ten days. An effort will be made this week to put all matters la shape eo that the stfMag committee can do its work the lat ter part of this week and completely clear the calendars. The appropriation bills will be taken up this week. It Is now known that If the houso had not on Saturday suddenly re called the concurrent resolution to adjourn April 3 it would have been passed by the senate, as there were sufficient votes to do It In the senate and members were prepar ing to pass the resolution. The senate will likely pasa a similar resolution early this week and fix the date tor adjournment. Aa nearly ail the committee work has been accomplished nothing Is now to be done but hold sessions, and it Is expected that during the coming week sessions will be held both forenooa and afternoon. Bllla, aside from the appropriation measures which are to come up, are the supremo court reorganization bill, the salary bills, the highway measure, the compulsory edu cation bill, the Vlcksburg park and Look out Mountain bills, the tax ferret repeal bills and the bill to create a board of man agers for educational Institutions to sup plant the trustees and regents. , Congressional Conventions.

New Railroad Map of Iowa, ' The railroad commissioners have Just re ceived the first of the new railroad maps ordered by the general assembly. The maps are from eld platea aa far as 'the namea of towna and the lines are concerned, but the railroad lines are brought up to date. The double tracking on the North western and Burlington is shown, also the changes made In the routes to make them shorter; likewise the new southwestern line of the Milwaukee from Davenport to Ot tumwa, the new Iowa Falls line, which is completed In the direction of Des Moines as far as McCallsburg; the new Manchester Oneida ahort line and the proposed lnter urban electric line to Nevada from Dea Molnea. The map also shows the chaste of ownership of the Mason City A Fort Dodge. The legislature ordered 30,000 of the maps, which are for free distribution. May Order County Beat Removal. A petition Is being circulated in Benton county for a vote on a proposal to remove the county seat from Vinton to Van Home.

He la engaged with members of the Insurance committees of the two houses In preparing a policy which shall conform to the present Iowa laws. The insurance people have had presented In the legislature bills for a policy which Is like the New York standard policy, but thla would mean a great change In the Iowa laws and would in effect repeal some of the most important of the features of the Iowa law. The attorney general having decided that a proposed law to allow the auditor of atate or Insurance commissioner to pre pare and promulgate a standard policy would be unconstitutional, the bill will be prepared to include the form of policy which would meet the requirements' of the Iowa law.

SECOND BODY IS DISCOVERED Boy Who Waa with Richard Albrecht la Fonnd la Creek with Broken Neck. BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 23. The body of the boy who was seen with Richard Al brecht, the New Brunswick, N. J., man drowned In a creek near hear, waa found to day by searchers within ten feet of the spot where Albrecht's body waa discovered. The body of the child waa only partly sub merged as the water waa only a few Inches deep. The neck waa broken, but there were no additional bruises. The body was brought to this city and embalmed and awaits orders from New Brunswick. The child was apparently 7 or 8 years old and resembled Albrecht. It is now believed that both the child and the man, aupposed to have been hla father, had been dead sev eral days. On March 14 the two were seen between Thalman and Everett City, going in the direction of Savannah. It was learned today that they left Thalman in the afternoon of that day, and it la aup posed they reached the trestle where the bodies were found about dark.

The bodjes, however, were not beneath the trestle," but were some twenty-five feet away. A ticket was found in Albrecht's pocket today reading from Baltimore to Jackson ville.
