Police fund Firo fund.. Siuking fund Water fund.. Library fund., 0l fund rk fund, The council, at a special meeting last night, passed tho ordinance making the tax lovy for 1800, The ordinance went through ns fixed up by Mayor Cushing and Major Wheeler with the exception of one mill on the sinking fund levy. This reduction was all that could be secured, although Messrs. Bechel, Ford, Lowry, Kaspar, Donnpelly and Sander made a stren- uous effort to have some of the other levies cut down. Some of the mayor's followers pot tangled up several times and came near voting for the proposed reductions, but they ‘were promptly whipped into line in time to AAve tho taxpayers of the city from having their burdens lightened. All of the councilmen were present e xcopt Bhriver and O'Connor. The ordinance making the ievy was pre- sented by the finance committee and provided for the levy which the mayor recommended in his communication to the council on Tues day night. On motion of Mr. Bechel the levies for the various funds were cousidered seriatim, Mr. Lowry moved that the levy for the weneral fund be reduced from fourteen mills to twelve mills, claiming that the city had A1 opportunity to save $300,000 by so doing. Mr. Kaspar thought a ten mill levy for the general fund sufticient, but said he would favor the reduction proposed by Mr, Lowry. Mr. Wheeler moved that the be fourteen mills, Mr. Lowry romplnhmtl tnat the levy had been fixed up in the mayor's office and that the council had been given ro opportunity to discuss the matter. Ho would oppose any auch ex: He thought a total levy of #5 mills was sufficient. I'hen Major Wheeler explained at length that he was in favor of keeping the city well supplied with funds for public improvements. When the question came to a vote the question was put on Mr. Whoeler's umendment and somo of the new wembers got taugled up. Blumer voted against the amendment. When Cooper's name was culled he responded WNo» “You'rs making a mistake,” exclaimed Morearty una Wheeler, voth clutching convulsively at the apparently recreant member, Mr. Cooper saw his mistake and changed his vote. Mr. Wheeler's motion provailed, Becuiel, Blumer, Ford, Kuspar, Donnelly, Lowry ana Sander voting in the negative. ~On the levy of 134 mills for’ the curbing, guttering and cluunlnu fund, Mr. Bechel moved a reduction to 1 mill, explaining that such u lev th the buladce now in the fund, ¥ , would give a total of $45,000, a sum amply suflicient. Major Wheeler again assumed the burden of argument in favor of his proposed levy and said 1t was the pur~ pose to clean & grest many more paved streets this vear than ast and the full amount would be needed. The full amount wus ordered, Bechel, Ford, Don- nelly, Kasper, Sander und Lowry voting for u reduction. ‘The suwne sextette made an unsuccessful autempt to reduce the police fund levy from b 1o 4 mills. ‘I'he advocates of reduction met with bet- ter success when Mr. Bechel moved that the evy for the sinking funa _be changed from 5 mills to 4 mills. Major Wheeler made an oxhaustive review of the city's finan- cial condition, showing that a 5 mill levy for the funi wus necessary. Mr, JBechel presented the statement of Treasurer Rush to the effect that a 4~mill levy for the fund would be saficient, and Mr. Bechel's motion prevailed, Donnelly, Ford, Kaspar, Lowry, Sander, Osthoff, Mudsen and Olsen voting with bim. Mr, Lowry moved to reduce the levy for school fund from 5 mills to 3 mills and then changed the amount to 4 mills, 'Vlniur ‘Wheeler produced his pocket manual again and showea how rapidly the city school population is jucreasing and how absolutely necessary & 5-mill levy is for the coming yeur's expenséh, *“I'hey’a spend a levy of 10 mills if they could get it,” said Lowry. *See what the comptroller says of their extravagant ex- penditure of funds last yoar.” “A full purse begets extravagance,” said Mr ()lmn in favoring the ynosed ‘* due 'I l\(lu ‘Mr. Morearty talked about the prin- eiple of the thing, and so forth, ‘awnile and hus duty to the children of his constituency, and the matter came t a vote, Bechel, Donnelly, Kaspar, Ford, Olsen, Sander, +Mcdsen, Lowry aud Osthoft voted favor of Mr. Lowry's amendment. when it came b adopt the levy as amended Osthoff changed his vote, the amendment was lost and the 5 miil levy prevailed. The levy for the other fuuds was not changed and the ordinance passed, making the levy as appears ut the head of this col- umn, Donnelly, Ford, l\umr. Lowry and Sander voted against the ordi- nance oo its final passage, While the contest was exciting Major wnomr dispatched the sergeant-at-arms after Mr. O'Connor, who arrived out of breath after the fight was over.

While Boller was ot her house Mrs. Thompson's nurse, containing $37 in money and a dia- mond ring valued at $125, lay on a dresser in one of the rooms. When the darkey had tin- ished his work and Mrs. Thompson went to her purse for money 1o pay him, she found that two ten~dollar bills and the diamond ring were gone, A moment's reflection told her that it would doubtiess be of no avail to quastion the man, 80 sho allowed him to go o without any word rogarding the loss, Putting on her wraps sho stepped over to the residenco of Police Captain Mostyn, which was near by, and finding the captain at home, informed him of her loss and the accompanying facts.

At tho meeting of the council Tuesday night, there was introduced anordir-ne creating the position of electrician. This was expected and was suggested by the articies on the dangers to be apprehended from electric lighting which have appeared in Tne Bee. Within the last two years, the uscs to which electricity has been applied in this city have increased four-fold. The streets have been lined with wires on which the current is used for telegraphic, tele- phonic, lighting and power purposes. These wires parallel and cross one aunother with dangerous frequency and proximity and from time to time fires in public and private institutions, notably the telephone exchange bas been the result. ‘The recent stringing of wires for the pur- pose of illuminating the city has increased the apprehension of many citizens that the deadly current may the move easily tind its way unbidden into privato homes and seri- hock or perhaps kill those who may be obliged to come m contact with the wires which are frequently used for household convenience. On this subject, a correspondent of Tne Bee ol a few days ago wrote: “*The accidental crossing of a high tension light wire with a telegrapb or telephone wire throwa the dangerous current into our dwellings and business offices. Thus, a large number of unsuspecting persons are daily exposed to instant death, quite uncon- scious of the fact that they within the range of a aeadly high tension circuit.” ‘The duties of the electrician have not as yet been defined but it is thought that at first they will be such as to require rigid inspec- tion of construction aud the measuring of the capicity of high tension circuits. Luter, it 18 thought, the sphere of the office will be enlarged so the duties will be similar to those of the electricians of the larges cities of the country. ‘‘How many applicants have you for the oftice of city electrician?’ Mayor Cushing was asked. **{ haven't any, yot,” was the laconic reply. *‘There is dllm.'flr "’ said a counciiman, “that this move for an eloctrician is bolstered up by the electrical companies and I propose to see that 8o far as [ am concerned we shall not have a repetition of the Dorsett suoway business.
