The city council last night passed the ap propriation ordinance for the en.--.uing year, after making two changes In the ar.iounts decided upon by the committee c,f the whole. The appropriation for the fire de partment was increased to IIS.- and that for the streets end alleys department re duced to IS.OW, the amount allowed last year. The Increase for the fire department was brought alicut by reason of the passage of an amendment to the ordnai,.-e, raising the salaries of the chief of the department from $75 to a month and that of the firemen from $;o It du a month. This amended ordinance was Introduced by At torney r. K. Stuart, who It was presumed was acting for the members of the depart ment, although he derllred to say so. Al dermen Casper and Fleming voted against the ordinance. As Introduced the ordinance called for an Increase In the chief's rnlary to linn a month, but this was scaled down to J?0 before passage, The Waller Sign company, which ha Wn erecting a number of high billboards throughout the clfy, presented a bond which the council refused to approve and the city attorney was Instructed to draft a new or dinance governing this matter.

Rsttmattng the revenue from the tax levy for the genTnl fund and other sources at 178,000 for the ensuing fiscal year, the com mittee of the whole of the city council yesterday afternoon fixed the appropria tions for the maintenance of the several municipal departments for the next twelve months at $72,850. Last year the approprla tlons amounted to $7,060, and the receipts exceeded this, so that there will be on March 1 nearly $8,000 of a balance to carry forward for the new fiscal year beginning April 1. This, with the estimated revenue of $70,000, makes the $78,000 which the com mittee figured would be received Into the general fund during the next twelve months. One reason for the Increase In the ap propriations for 1904 is caused by the $5,000 for the new engine house and equipment to be established In the southern part of the city. The appropriations for 1904 as decided upon by the committoe and those for 1903 are as follows: 1904 Salaries, executive dept $10,350 Police and marshal's dept 15,000 Streets and alleys 9,CMs Fire department n.CiO Fire and police telegraph 2.600 Engineer's deportment 8.500- Prlutlng and supplies l,i0 City pound ; 500 Elections Deficiency in water fund 9,000 New engln house 6,000 1901. $10,S50 14,5aO . 8.000 lfi.500 l.WW 8,500 1,000 KuO 900 10.000 Total appropriations $"2,850 $67,050 Walt for Tucker.

The, comniittee from the state legislature to Investigate the site of the School for the Denf will, according to the latest advices received here, be In Council Bluffs tonight atid will Visit the Institute Wednesday. It win make its report to the legislature Fri day, and on it now practically depends the removal of the school from Council Bluffs or not. When here Sunday Senator Saunders said It was his belief that the senate would not concur in the resolution of the house call ing for a Joint committee to Investigate the site of the school and that consequently no such committee would be appointed. On his return to Dos Moines yesterday he, however, must have changed his opinion. as a telegram from him received by Secre- I and as the matter is more discussed they are throwing off the reserve and coming out in the open for the measure, as one for the benefit of he slate and the good of all the colleges. A strong point In favof of the one-board plan Is being made because of a belief which is prevalent that there Is much duplication of work In the three state edu cational Institutions, that tha normal school Is giving collegiate work, that the university Is dabbling too deep In the sciences and that the state college bears down too heavily on the classical courses. The appropriations have been held up awaiting crystallisation of sentiment In re gard to the hoard of managers, and this also has had the effect of holding off the millage tax propositions. bill 1o Create a Board of Managers for All State Educational Institu tions UrovtlnK In Favor with Legislators. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DEH MOINES. March 21. (Special.) A remarkable agreement has been entered Into among the lobbyists of the legisla ture affecting a number of bills that h-ive been cnuslng the legislators much annoy ance. One of the most persistent lobbies Is that In favor the state constabulary or state marshal bill. This has been led by A. C. Rankin of Chicago, who organ ised the state to further the movement for state marshals to enforce the Hquor laws. Under this bill, which Is In the hands of a house committee, the state Is to be divided Into a number of districts and the governor will appoint marshals in each, whose especial duty It shall be to prosecute violators of the liquor laws. This has been, of course, bitterly fought by the sal'jonmen ofhe state and liquor manufacturers, i.ast week the legislative committee of the Iowa Retail Liquor Poll ers association camo to Des Moines to push certain bills before the legislature they are Interested In. One of the bilis relates to an extension of the .time when saloons may remain open, so that they will not have to close until 11 Instead of at 10 p m. They also desire to keep open on election days and certain holidays, nota bly New Year's day. Labor day and Washington's birthday. It is now itlia bly reported that the liquor dealers' leg islative committee and the lobby for t'i Rankin statu marshal bill have come to an understanding and that the llq-ior m.n say they will be satisfied to aMow the marshal bill to ktoan a lar: l? the tem perance people will consent to the modi fication of the liquor laws as Indicated In their bills. It Is expected the commit tees will act on this assumption early the present week ani report favorably on all the bills. But even If this is done It Is uncertain whether the bills can get through. The bill to provide for limiting the life of a petition of consent to sell liquors, so that after throe years 5 per cent of the voters may by petition call for a new petition will come up In the senate tomor row as a Kpeclal order. An effort Is being made today to secure pledges from a suf ficient number of the republican senators to Join with the democrats to defeat the measure, and with good prospect of suo cess. Interest on State Money. A bill was introduced by Clay to pro vide for reducing the number of names required on a petition of consent In towns of 2,500 from 80 per cent to a majority. The house voted down a bill to Increase the compensation for members of the board of supervisors. The bill to require banks to pay In terest on deposits of the state was passed. This Is the Lewla bill which had passed the senate. It authorizes the executive council to enter Into an agreement ou the amoant of the per tent. . i ' ' -. For Board of Managers. The board of managers bill is all ready. The selection of trustees and regents last week in caucus may be of no avail, for the boards to which It Is planned they should be elected may be abolished before the legislature elects the new members. The bill Is said to be all ready. It provides for three members and they will have an office In the state capltol and have full and com plete control of the three state colleges. It la found as the members of the legislature canvass the matter that a great many of the members of the boards favor this plan not yet contracted for, or similar condl tlons.
