DILEMMA OF CITY COUNCIL Jloaey Promised the Board of Edu cation in Vbont Hi Be De- mnnded. The Board of Education has presented to the city couacfl for solution a little puzzle in tie shape of a resolution in which a de mand is made upon the city for the S13.000 it promised as the Saal payment far the old Dodire street school building trans- lormed into a city jail. There la no question that the school board is ia earnest in its demand as it needs the money to traiW the grammar schools that are to be erected tins summer. There is as little donit that the demand can be enforced - I forced , for the Board ef Education holds an j agreement signed 'by ' the mayor , in. which the city promises to pay the J15.000 out cf this year's levy. If the < ciiyfniis to hand over the money the 'board will ia all prob ability commence suit ta enforce payment , although that plan hns not yet been dis cussed. The situation is feat another cne of the embarrassing predicaments that the fiaance committee slated far the council ia reporting a tax levy inadequate to meet the liabilities of the city. No prsrision whatever -was made fcr the payment of the J13.000 aad there is no emergency fund out of which the money can be takea. It should properly come oot of the general ifund. but that fund is so smaH that it barely provides enough I money for the Axed charges against it. i Memters f the council who voted against i tie levy refuse to have anything to do with the solution of the problem and turn it over to the anance committee aad other members cf tie body who voted for the levy , holding that the larter are responsible for the do3- culty The matter will probably occupy a good deal of attention at a near meeting of tihe city council.

The road fund ia the past has beea used for all sorts of purposes , hut a goodly portion of it has -been employed ia repairing dirt streets and in paying the city's share of the cost of grading streets. It is aot intended to authorize much of the latter son of work this year , hut citizens generally will all the more keenly feel the loss of the fund. The finance coznminee which drew up the low tax levy set aside an entirely inadequate amount of money for the purpose of cleanj j Ins : and sweeping streets , with the understanding - j standing that a gcod pardon of the road ! fond wonH be used for that purpose. Now that the road fund is ant available , the city will have to get along with dirty streets this year , for the amount of money ap propriated for inch , trork is admitted' be j altogether too small. Park Commissioner Coralsh Is happy over the success of this MB. 'Bef of a3 ! the park commissioners , took most ta heart the actjoa of the council in levying so small an amount for the park fund that the sum T as not suacient to maintain the parks properly and any idea that money could he spent on boulevards was ridiculous. Ee cast about for a remedy for the situation and finally concocted a bill to secure possession of the roud fund , maintaining that that fund would be more properly and legally expended in building and maintaining boulevards TVITI in the ay the council has been spending ; tEe - Ee was at Lincoln m the interests of the bill most of the time it was pending in the legislature.

Ionrr < TV" HI Al o at Thrir 3lptin = ToUay Coci I < lrr the Qu < - tlon uf Payiaa : Lriral There is every Indlcatina that the ad- jocraed meeting of the Board of County Commissioners today will contain more gingery elements than have been apparent for some time. There are two matters scheduled for consideration , each of which promises to raise a sharp issue between the majority and minority factions and specula tions are not lacking that there is pcs- siibility of a split in the majority as well. The request of County Attorney Shields for the appointment of Lee Helsley as as sistant in police court and that of W. H. Guasolus as court messenger and special detective was referred to the committee of the whole a week ago. and it will probably be considered in erecutive session. This has been hanciac Sre for several weeks , and it IB intimated that the delay Ti" been caused by a doubt -whether the three fusion mem bers can be depended en ta stand pat. It is quite definitely understood that one of th n ] * - " positive ooovictSons that these ad- dtacnal encumbrances on the salary list are aot aesesaary and his colleagues have recognized the uselessness of trjqnr to force the scheme throuch unless they are solidly in to1 favor Court house poseip is to the effect that Gunsolus IB "out of it , " and it is considered doubtful whether the county attomev will be able to secure even the appointment of Helsley. The majority has another nght proposi tion on its hands 'in the petltioa that has beea Sled by a number of the fusion leaders in which it is insisted that special counsel shall be employed at the ezpense of the couaty to probecute the mandamus proceed ings by which E. J- Dee sipects to be able to break into the position in the county clerk's offlce to which he was recently ap pointed by the board. While the peuuon urzes this course in order "to establish the right of the board ta make appomtmen-s in the clerk's oSce , * on the score of public necessity , this is generally recogniipd as a thinly covered scheme to serve the interests of an individual at the public ezpense Since the petition was Sled tne action ! ia : U contemplated has been so roundly de nounced that the commissioners are re luctant to assume the reEpon&bUny of carrying- into effect. On the other hand , a lot of their moet active pol.ucal supporters insist that Dee shall be taken care of , and the commisEloners are hesitating to dis- eharjre a weapon that i evidently loaded at both ends. To add to the preplexities of the fusion members is tie menace that Governor Poynter will sign the bill * hich jjrcv.des that the couaty ooainuRfiioners shall be elected at large instead of by suffrage of the particular cammissicner districts that they represent- The fugJoniBts aabert that the effect of the law will tie to maiie it im- pogesibl < to elect anyone but a republican. and they are preparing to brlac all presHure Hi bear on tie governor to induce him ta veto the bill. Commissioners Con- aoUy and Erfeldt went * o Lincoln yes terday to labor with the povemnr on thi matter , but they wffl protmblv r-tam la tome ta paruripute ia the "aiis-ap" to day.
