The city council last night passed the ap
propriation ordinance for tho ennulng year,
after making two changes In the amounts
decided upon by the committee r,f the
whole. The appropriation for the fire de
partment was Increased to 118.250 and that
for the streets rnd alleys department re
duced to 18,000, the amount allowed last
year.
The Increase for the fire department was
brought atout by reason of the passage of
an amendment to the ord'n:tr..-e, raising the
salaries cf the chief of the department
from 178 to !i a month and that of the
firemen fro.n W td 105 a month. This
amended ordinance was Introduced by At
torney D. K. Stuart, who It waa presumed
was acting for the members of the depart
ment, although he declined to nay so. Al
dermen Casper and Fleming voted against
the ordinance. As Introduced the ordinance
called for an Increase In the chiefs calary
to 1100 a month, but thla was scaled down
to y before passage.
The Waller 8lgn company, which ha
hen 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.

' ''Estimate'' of the" City fexpenses.
fcstlmating the revenue from the tax levy
for the gen"ral fund and ether sources at
178,000 for the ensuing fiscal year, the com
mittee of the whole of the city council
yesterday afternoon fixed the bpproprla
tlomTTTor the maintenance of the several
municipal departments for the next twelve
months at $72,850. Ljist year the appropria
tions amounted to 187,060, and the receipts
exceeded thla, so that there will be on
March 1 nearly 8.000 of a balance to carry
forward for the new fiscal year beginning
April l. This, with the estimated revenue
or 170,000, makes the 178.000 which the com
mittee figured would be Tecelved Into the
general fund during the next twelve months.
One reason for the Increase In the ap
propriations for 1904 Is caused by the 16,000
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 committee and those for 1903
are as follows:

Bill (o ( rente a Board of Mnnarrs for
All State Educational Institu
tions Oiroitlax In Favor
with Legislators.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 21. (Special.) A
remarkable agreement ht.s been entered
Into among the lobbyists of the leglala
ture affecting a number of bills that h'ive
been couslug 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
lied the state to further the movement
for state marshals to enforce the liquor
laws. Vnder this bill, which Is In the
hands of a house committee, the Mate 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 saloonmen of lie state and liquor
manufacturers. Last week the legislative
committee of the Iowa Retail l iquor Deil
ers association camo to Des Moines to
push certain bills before the legislature
they are Interested In. One cf the bills
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 iclla
bly reported that the liquor dealers' leg
lsifltlve committee and the lobby for tu
Rankin stata marshal bill have come to
an understanding and that the llq'ior m.n
say they will be satisfied to allow the
marshal bill to become a lav: 1? the tem
perance people will consent to the modi
fication of the liquor laws as Indicated
In their bills. It la expected the commit
tees will act on this assumption early
the present week and 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 pctiMon of consent to sell liquors,
so that after throe years 25 per cent of
the voters may by petition call for a new
petition will come up In the senate tomor
row as a special order. An effort Is being
marts 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 suc
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 town
of 2,600 from 80 per cent to a majority.
The house voted down a bill to 4nnrease
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 ia the Lewis, bill which had passed
the senate. It authorizes the executive
council to enter Into. an agreement ou the

For Board of Managers.
The board of managers Mil 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 capitol 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 mnnv of
tho members of the boards favor this plan
