Council Meets TmilKlit nit Committee
of the Whole to Decide lt'ion
Amount of Appropria
tions. To decide upon tho nniouuts to be ap
proprlated for the sovcral' departments of
tho city government for thu next fiscal
year, is tho purposo of the meeting ot the
committee of tho whole of the city council
slated for this evening. The new fiscal
year commences on April 1 and tho law
requires that the appropriation ordlnanco
shall bo passed before that date. Tho
expenditures in nny department of tho city
government cunnot exceed during the fiscal
year tho amount as appropriated by this
ordinance.
Last year the total appropriations
amounted to JG7.600, divided as follows:
Salaries of city officers $10,350
Police department 16.0
rire department Itj.TOO
Knglnetr'B department 2,300
Streets nnd alleys 7,n00
Printing und supplies i.ooo

water fund revenue) 9,700

This some nmount, If not more, will bo
needed to run tho city government for the
next twelvo months, but thero Is n chance
of the revenue derived by tho municipality
from certnln sources being materially less
this year than last. This Is giving tho city
fathers, especially Mayor Jennings; a good
deal to think and worry about these days.
To use tho parlance of tho street, nomo of
tho city officials bcllovo they nrc "up agin
It," and that they havo a dlfncult problem
before them to solve.

All of tho appropriations for tho mainte
nance of tho city government and Its sev
eral departments havo to bo mado out of
mo general fund supplemented by such
other revenues as tho city may recclvo from
saloon licences, pollco lines, etc. Slnco tho
decreased assessed valuntlon of tho city, tho
general itinu lovy, which by law Is limited
to 10 mills, realizes only $33,000. This Ib
less than half of what It takes' to maintain
tho city for tho period of twelve months
and tho balance has to bo met out of what
is Known as tho pollco fund. In this fund
all revenuo derived from saloons, pollco
court fines nnd assessments levied by tho
police on disreputable characters and sport
ing resorts nrc pieced. From tlmo to tlmn
ns tho money Is needed It Is transferred
from this fund to tho general fund by order
of tho council.
Tho saloons furnish tho greater nart of
tho pollco fund and anything that affects
tho saloons affects the pollco fund. Within
tho last two or thrco weeks a cloud has
been hovering nyer the snloonraen In tho
shapo of a threatened raid by a So-called
"reformer." The saloonmen have been no
tified through a third party that this "re
former" Intends to emulato J. J. Shea nnd
bring Injunction suits ngalnst every saloon
In tho city for violating tho mulct law.
Any person bringing such suit nnd proving
his charges Is entitled to collect an at
torney fee of $23. Until tho onactmont of
the now codo In 1897 It was 1100. The
saloonman. In .order to stavo off the in.
Junction suit, Is called upon to pay this at
torney ice. .nany ot them havo decided thnt
ratucr than bo bled any loncor thev will
close their saloons and this Is what Is star
ing tno city officials In tho face.

Last year $9,700 was npnronrlatcd to
meet the excess of water hydrant rental
over water fund revenue, but this fell
short nbout $1,500 and this year nn extra
$3,000 will havo to bo appropriated.
in March of next year will occur the
city biennial olectlou and $1,000 will hnvo
to no appropriated for that oxnensi. nn
that tho cost of running tho city for the
loxt fiscal year will bo greator than last.
Some of tho city buildings, tho city hall
for Instance need, ropalrlng and some
money, will havo. It Is expected, to bo ap
propriated for this purposo. As thu pollco
fund Is ontlroly an anticipated revenue. thn
aldermen havo a serious problem on their
bands when they come to flguro on pro
vldlng sufficient money to run tho city
government on for twelvo months with only
a certnln Incomo half sufficient to do so.
