The finance commutes estimated tha revenue of the city for the fiscal year end ing March 81, 1904. at $71,000, and on this basis the city council last night paased the ordinance appropriating tha amounts for the maintenance of the several departments of the municipality. The amounts appro priated under tbs ordinance are: Balariea ." 110,230 Pol.ce department 14.600 Fire department 16.60J Fire and police telegraph 1,800 ) Engineer's department 8.60) 1 Streets and alleys , 1. 00) I Printing and supplies. 1,00) Election expenses 1,00) City pound 60) Water rental (deficiency) 10,00) Total 167.060 Last year the revenue was estimated at 170,000 and the appropriations amounted to 864,560, leaving $5,460 for the contingent fund. If the estimated revenue of $71,000 Is obtained this year It will leave $3,950 for the contingent fund, ss the ordinance pro vides that all revenue received above the amounts appropriated shall be placed in that fund. Na Chang la Salaries. Tha appropriation for salaries Is the same as last year and Is made up as fol lows: Mayor, $900; auditor, $1,000; treas urer, $1,000; solicitor, $1,500; city clerk, $1,080; deputy city clerk $900; physician, $250; eight councllmen at $250 each, $2,000; custodian of city hall, $720; Judge of su perior court, city's share, $1,000. The amount appropriated for the police department Is the same as last year, but $500 la lopped off this year of the appro priation for the fire department. For the lire and police telegraph $200 Is cut off the amount appropriated last year. The engi neer's department suffers a reduction of $u00 this year. For the streets and alleys the appropriation la Increased from $6,000, which was appropriated last year, to $8;000 this year. For printing and supplies the appropriation Is reduced $200. Last year there being no city election there was no i appropriation for this expense. The ap- 1 proprlatloo for the city pound Is the same as laat year. The appropriation to meet the deficiency In the water fund this year Is $10,000, as against $9,000 last year. . This Increase Is made necessary by additional hydrants Installed during the last twelve months. The 10-mill levy, as provided by statute for the general fond, will bring In about $36,000, so the commute estimates that the remaining $35,000 will be made up by saloon licenses and other sources derived from the police fund. The 6-mlll levy, the limit al lowed tor the water fund, will produce about $18,000, whereas be hydrant rental amounts to $26,300.

Alderman McDonald brought up the mat ter of new paving for this year and the aldermen are to report at the next meeting the streets In their respectlvs wards which need paving. Tbs Trades and Labor assembly in a com munication to Alderman McDonald, chair man of the streets and alleys committee, asked that a day and a half be deemed sufficient to work out the $2 poll tax. It was decided that the request could not be complied with, as the city bad no alterna tive In the matter for the reason that the state law provide that every able-bodied man must work two days of eight hour each, or In lieu thereof pay a sum not to exceed $1.60 a day for the two days as poll tax. Thus the eity has only the right to Ox the amount te be paid la lieu of the two days' work and the ordinance has fixed this at $2. Ths Cttlsens' Oas and Electrlo Ll;ht com pany extended the aldermen and other city officials an Invitation to visit and Inspect its remodelled substation and Its new ga purifying plant.
