THIRTY THOUSAND CUT OFi

f Iteqneat for Additional Km-

alnas' Force Fald.
After two protracted sessions ttud much
sharp dtbate the city council succeeded at
noon Friday in reducing- the apportion
ments to department from the general
fund J:ai.74t less than demanded by th va
ilcius heHds.
Of tha amount 128.741 was a real cut, ROW
li.'lns; left unappropriated m ror "mlscel
Inneous Items." a division which It whs
planned Thursday afternoon to cut out
altogether, the estimate having been $2,000.
The new rliurter makes the apportionment
of the general fund Incumbent upon the
council during the first week in January
The charter limitation to the general
fund is J'JbK.iVio. Ninety per cent of this,
r the amount that can be drawn on prior
to more than the amount being actually In
the treasury, is J2tl,aw. This, uddrd to
18.Kx extimated mixcellannous receipts,
Klves a totnl of IJn.wO. or the sum for dis
tribution by the council among the depart
munts. The latter asked for an aggregate
of 2Mt.4s4, requiring a reduction of $28,4X1
The cut was made principally by elimi
nating an item of S8,0uu for one-half the cost
of grading streets: reducing the judgment
amount from $10,0"0 to $5,000; that for re
pairs to unpaved streets from $42,000 to
iZo, cutting out the printing of annual
reports altogether from an estimated cost
of $2,5(K; reducing estimates of electrical de
partment from K.'Zti to $4,2a: city clerk
from $10,48D to $f.i0; city engineer from
$ao,uOu to $:i;.j0G; maintaining city hall from
$l'j,040 to I17.IU); hi-alth department from
$10,7ti to $9,375, and t'it for abstractor's

In the latted is desired an additional In

department. The council promised to auth
oriie the latter office, to be paid for by
increased fees collected. The clerk an
nounced he would request the council to
increase the hours of clerks In his office
from 8:30 to 5 o'clock to 8 to i o'clock, in

City Treasurer ileunings appeared and
demanded an understanding that from the
amount set aside to pay the cost of collect
ing tuxes by the county, his office force be
paid until the supreme court has ruled
whether the treasury merger is legal or not.
His request was granted him.
City Engineer Roscwatr r explained that
higher salaries were necessary for men In
his office if men were to be retained; also
thai $00 would have to le spent on new
Instruments In the office, the first In

$2.0i, but after he was gone the council
Jabbed out $1,500 more from his allotment.
At first it was ugreed the miscellaneous

for It and won out. To scrape together
$4,500, $2,500 for the printing of annual re

PUZZLE OF CLARK DRAFT
Legal Conundrum Preetn'i Itself li To
Who Ii Btipouiible
COMPROMISE NOW SEEMS PROBABLE
I'ostofflce Authorities Are Not Blamed
for Delivering; the Letter Cos
lalnlng Draft to the
Wrong; Man.
Owing to toe absence from the city of
Postoffiee Inspector Moor the matter of
V. H. Clark of 2533 Rees street appropriat
ing a draft for $1,0 from the Gainesville
(Mo.) bonk that belonged to W. H. Clark
of aU4 Binney street, no formal proceedings
have been instituted against the former
as yet.
It Is learned the proper owner of the
draft has bee a reimbursed $100 by the
other Clark, and that the latter will turn
)ver tha property he recently acquired
from part of the proceeds of the draft,
which Is located on North Twenty-fourth
street, as a compromise settlement of the
affair.
In the meanwhile the payment of the
draft at Oalneavllle has been ordered
stopped by its proper owner, and now the
question has arisen as to who will be the
loser by the transaction the bank at
Gainesville, Mo., Hayden Brothers of
Omaha, who cashed It, or W. H. Clark of
Binney street, who was its proper owner.
Some Posillna; Qnestlons.
Another question Is. can the V. II. Clark
who got the draft and cashed It, be ar
rested or held amenable for obtaining
money by false pretenses, or can he be
charged with forgery through endorsing
the draft, which was made to his own
name and delivered to him at his own
residence?
Thero is also a question as to whether it
Is a case for the postofflce Inspectors to
look Into at all. The postoffiee authori
ties maintain the letter was delivered to
an address, though there were two per
sons of the same name and initials, but
that the postoffiee authorities had no
means of knowing which was the right
Clark.
Three or four attorneys who have been
consulted on the matter hold the postoffiee
cannot be hold for neglect, nor can W. II.
Clark of Rees street be held amenable for
receiving a letter, but that the only action
that can be institute 1 against him is for
receiving money by false pretenses. It
has not been determined yet whether such
action will be brought and It is now
thought the matter will be settled by com
promise, without reeourse to the courts.

COAL CONTRACTS FOR STATE
Favoritism la Charged Against Board
by Member of m leading
Omaha Firm.
In the letting of the state contracts on
coal the Board of Purchase and Supplies
awarded nearly every contract to the
Whltebreast Coal and Lumber company of
Lincoln, notwithstanding the fact that
there were other bidders on the same grade
of coal whose prices ranged from & to IS
cents per ton lower. During the lust year
It has been the custom of the superintend
ents at the different slate Institutions to
specify In their bids Cleveland and White
breast coal both Iowa couls which would
indicate they prefer these brands.
A member of the coal firm of C. B.
Havens it Co. of Omaha says that as a
matter of fact the northern Missouri coals
show in the United States government
tests to be stronger steam producers: that
the Cleveland (la. I coal tests 3,290 pounds,
equal to a cord of oak wood, and that
the Novinger (Mo.) coal the coal bid on
tests 2,976 pounds, equal to a cord of oak
wood. This, he points out, shows the Mis
souri coal almost one-eighth stronger.
This gentleman proceeded to show that
In the last letting of coal contracts by the
state board, January 2. the Insane asylum
at Hastings' contract was awarded on
Cleveland mine run coal at 12 cents per
ton higher in price than the board could
have contracted Missouri mine run for.
This is only one case out of four or five.
On the Mllford contracts, he says, where
there was a tie between the Whltebreast
company and another bidder on the same
identical coal, the board awarded the con
tract to the Whltebreast people without
giving the othtr party his chance of wln-

J. R. LYNCH FILES DEMURRER
Army Paymaster Resists Null In
Washington on Croamla of
InsulHclent Facts.
Major John R. Lynch, paymaster in the
United States army, lias filed a demurrer
to the suit of John Rldout and others of
Washington, D. C. The tmlt grew out of
some banking transactions at the national
capital several years ago, when Lynch was
an officer of u bank. The demurrer sets up
that the plaintiffs have no legal capacity
to sue and that the petition does not stato
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action.
