AGREEMENT ON THE TAX LEVY
Financ Gommittse of Ceunoil Eeoommends

SOME FUNDS CUT AND SOME INCREASED
A -
This Is' oa Baals of Rejection ol
Request of Library Boar for ,
Lory to Acquire Site for i
Library Building.
Only four aldermen putting in an ap
pearance caused the meeting of the city
council slated for last night to fall for
want of the necessary quorum. Mayor
Morgan announced a meeting tor Friday
afternoon at I o'clock, at which time the
council will be called upon to make the
tax levy for 1902. It had been Intended
to do this last night, as the law require
that the levy must be certified to the
county auditor on or befora the first Mon
day in Beptember.
Exclusive of the park Us the levy for
1901 for city purposes was 374 mills. This
Included a 1-mlll levy for library pur
poses. The finance ' committee has pre
pared a report recommending the levy for
the eeveral funds, which will leave the
aggregate the same as last year unless
the council accede to the request of the
library that I mills be levied for the pur
pose of acquiring a site and building a
permanent home for the library. Several
of the aldermen, howeTer, are known to
be opposed to this levy and the propo
sition may again be defeated.
Last year 1 mills was levied for the
Improvement fund, but this year the com
mittee has recommended a cut of half a
mill, leaving the levy lVk mills. The aamo
cut is also recommended in the bond loan
fund levy, which was 1 mills last year,
thus making It SVi mills for 1901. Offset
against these reductions the committee
recommends an Increase of half a mill for
the bridge levy, making It Vt mills, as
against 1 mill in 1901. This Increase is
said to be necessary on account of the
depletion of the fund by the. building of
the bridge at the intersection of Mynster
and Main streets and practically building
a new bridge on North Tenth street. Then
the library trustees this year ask for a
levy of 1 mills for library purposes, as
against 1 mill last year. The increase In
these two levies will offset the decrease in
the levies for the improvement and bond
loan funds.
Under the new law the perk board makes
Its own levy and certifies same to the
county auditor, and the city council has
no Jurisdiction over it like It has in the
case of the library fund levy.
The levy as recommended by the finance
committee for 1902 for city purposes is
as follows:

NO MONEY FOR THE STREETS
Leas Than Half of Year Gone and
Available Funds Alaaost
Exhausted.
The appropriation for the streets and
alleys fund Is practically exhausted and
work on the streets of the city for the
remaining seven months of the fiscal year,
wuicn enas April l, lSOJ, will have to be
suspended. This la a condition which now
faces the municipal aulhorttlea, one which
It never has had to face before. When'
the annual appropriations were mads last
March $6,000 was considered ample for
the streets and alleys fund, as at that time
It was anticipated that the county board
would be willing, as in past years, to turn
over a proportion of the county road fund
collected within the city limits to the mu
nicipal treasury, and that the same could
be applied to the street and alley fund.
The refusal on the part of Colonel Baker,
supervisor for this district, to allow 1
cent of the fund to pas from under hi
control, ha upset these expectations and
the city Is now placed in an embarrassing
predicament. - j, .
Although but five month of the fiscal
year have clasped, $4,000 of the $,000 ap
propriated for the streets and alleys fund
has already been expended, the pay roll
of this department in some months having
reached a high a 11,000. But $1,100 now
remains in th fund to meet the expenses
of the department for the remaining seven
months. From this balance the salary of
the street supervisor at $60 a month will
have to be paid, and this for seven months
will absorb $420. Unless his services are
dispensed with, the sidewalk Inspector will
draw a similar amount for the remaining
seven months, which will make a total of
$840 which will have to be paid tn salaries
for these official out of the email balance
in the streets and alleys fund.
City officials, whose attention was called
yesterday by Auditor Evans to the condi
tion of the treet and alley fund, realize
that the city la tn a moat embarrassing
predicament. During the winter months
the expenses of this department usually
Increase Instead of decreasing, and th
same Is true of the spring, whea th streets
have to be repaired after washouts. Where
the money will be coming from to meet
the necessary expenses of the streets and
alleys department Is what Is now worrying
the aldermen and other city official.
Th small balance remaining In the
atreets and alleys fund will be further re
surra at the eni of this month when the
August pay roll aad ether Incidental ex
penses incurred by the department are
paid. It was atated yesterday at the city
hall that a thorough Inveatigatlon of the
management of this department would be
ordered by the city council.

DES MOINES, Aug. 25. (Special.) What
would otherwise have been a great day for
an opening of ths -state fair waa com
pletely spoiled by rain today. The rain
commenced falling 'at daylight and con
tinued with more or less steadiness during
the day. A great many visitors came to
the city and there were many at thu fair
grounds, but it was impossible to have the
races or tha fireworks or any of the fea
tures which bad been prepared for the
day. There was to have been a program
for the dedication of the live stock pa
vilion on the grounds. It waa postponed
until 3 o'clock and then at that hour given
up entirely. The presentation of the "Last.
Day of Pompeii", was abandoned at the
last moment. Th ground Is too wet for
races and it Is uncertain what will happen
tomorrow. There was disappointment at
the new received that Governor Savage
of Nebraska was . not to come to attend
the fair and speak In the new pavilion.
He had written a letter of acceptance of
the Invitation and was placed on the pro
gram. After it was too lato to secure any
one else his private secretary wrote saying
that previous engagements would keep the
governor from attending. The pavilion will
be dedicated at 1 o'clock on Monday.
