What the Tramp Brizade Has Ace complished for the City—bLost Pension Papers—Minor Men- tion and Persinal, A glance at the city's bocks reveals some interesting facts, especially in regard to ex- penditures, It appears from the amounts ex- ponded in the pasteight months, th o like ratio of increase during the restof the year the exponditures will exceed those of the preceding year by from 0,009 to $40,000 "Thie receipts from saloons, fines, cte., have in- creased in much larger ratio than the expendi tures, but the total from this source is but small in comparison with the total expendi- tures, the bulk having to be 1 by taxa tion. While the expenditures are increasing the fact should be remembered in connection thorewith that the city is growing, the sl valuation is increasing and the needs growing daily. The que to be solved is whether the expenses of the city are growing faster than the real needs of the city. It is noticoable that while the total expend- it ased since March 1 about nt, the expenses of the palice depr ment have increased 60 per cent; those of th fire department 30 per cent, while the city marshal's department has been cut down 25 per cent, although one more deputy is em ployed than last year. T'his speaks well for the economy of Marshal Templeton.

The number of men worked has sel domly fallen below ten andoftea has exceeded it. and the work they have done has reached in round numbers a figure of dollars an d cents that will exceed $15,000. Officer Wvatt, while maintaining a close wateh upon. the men placed under his care, has also taken an intelligent interest in_their work, and the result is better cleaned streets during the past summer than the city has ever kuown before, It is scavcely probable that the pleasant weather that hus provailed so long will con- tinue much longer, but when bad and snowy weather comes the tramps and i drunks will not crmitted to lie the city juil in idiencss.
