THE OLSEN POSES AS A JUGGLER He Attempts Legerdemain Performance with the Oity's Dollars, HOODWINKS THE COUNCIL WITH FIGURES City Comptroller Presents n States ment Which Comes Far frow Showing the Real Condi- of City Fu As a juggler of figures Comptroller Olsen made a record Tuesday night which com- pletely eclipses the most startling performances of Colonel Fred Sackett in the same line. Olsen s a firm bellever in the old idea that the American people dearly love to be humbugged, and in a communi- cation to the city councll Tuesday night he apparently acts on this supposi- tion. He presents his regular monthly state- ment of the condition of the various funds and follows it with a personal statement that flatly contradicts the showing made by his figures. He blandly the council that there will be all kinds of money in the assures treasury at the end of the year, when the accompanying statement indicates that the funds are in even a worse condition than has he following is his ever been asserted. official statement of the condition of the funds to September 1 Cash reserve, 94 pal. and ) per cent 1865 fevy.

On the' face of the totals it is evident that ac cording to the previous rate of expense it will cost at least $250,000 to run the through the remainder of the vear. The balance remaining is about $18,000 less than that amount. But Mr. Olsen’s totals do not show the real condition of the funds. It will be noticed that in his statement he gives two very dif- ferent sets of figures in the road, paving bond and Omaha sewer fupds. In his totals he includes the entire an remaining in the funds, while in an obscure way he indi cates what portion of these amounts has not been already certified to. . The result is that the total is Inflated to the tune of about $36,000, which represents money which has already been expended, but which has not yet been drawn out of the treasury. To this m be added the two bills of $10,766.04 and $9.15 respectively, in favor of the Barber Asphalt company for street repairs from 1890 to 1894, which were recently allowed by the city council and which stand against the funds. Without going further into detail it appears at once that according to the official statement of the comptroller, if the previous rate of ex- penditure is kept up, there will be a_ deficiency of nearly $75,000 on January 1, next. In the face of his own figures this v sanguine official declares that ‘‘the ex- penditures of the city have been reduced 80 that at the close of the year the various funds, except as stated, will be in as good condition as heretofore.” A more detailed examination of Mr. Olsen's figures does not tend to strengthen his posi- tlon, He reports a bals in the general fund of about $75,000. The regular monthly expenditures in this department amount to $16,000, or $64,000 in the remaining four months, This would leave a balance of $11,- 000 in the fund at the end of the year against which stands the transfer of $20,000 to the fire fund, which was agreed upon at the beginning of the yvear, which remains as a recognized llen on the fund. So far this year it has cost about $10,500 a month to maintain the fire department There is just enough remaining in the fund to pay the September bills. There will be the $20,000, which is to be transferred from the general fund, and unless the department is whittled down this will also be exhausted by the end of November, thus leaving a de ficlency in that fund of more than $10,000. The police fund is in the best condition of any fund except the library and park funds Here the expenditures have been $7,600 per month. _ Consequently the spparent shortage will be between $3,000 and $4,000. But it is well known that during the past two months there were a number of charges against this fund which have not been paid but which will ultimately come in to add to the deficiency now in prospect. BALANCES IN RED INK. There is a balance of $6,659 36 in the curb- irg, guttering and cleaning fund, which will be barely sufficient to pay for the street sweeping during the remaining four months of the year. ~The entire amount in the fund has already been voted to the Barber com-| pany, but Tuesday night the council refused to the appropriation because it would not dollar to pay for street sweeping and r similar expenses. The amount voted to the Barber company remains a charge upon the treasury, however, and must be met unless the council rescinds its action. The sewer maintaining, library, judgment and park funds will just about be able to pull through the year. The park bond fund 19 already exhausted, and any future calls on that fund must be provided for from some other source, The health department has spe month so far this year. According to that rate of expenditu the board will be finan clally stranded on October 1, The water rent fund has been drawn on to the tune of mora than $10,000 a month. At ths same rate there will be % shortage of $21,000 on January 1, 1896, The lighting fund is practic and according to previous expe which are on a fixed basis and cannot be varied, it will be $30,000 short at the end of the y The t $1,000 a lly exhausted ditures, mounts remaining in the road, paving bond and Omaha sewer funds, which have not already been certified to, aggregate about $9.000. When it is consldered that nearly $20,000 has been pald out of these funds dur ing the first eight months of the year and that $36,000 more is tied up by improve- ments already under it is ap ent that nothing but an absolu shutting off of all improvements can save these funds from d pletion long before the end of the year But the most barefaced deception in which the comptroller indulges in his statement that whatever deficiency may appear to be impending, is not really a deficies Y, &8 a deficit of §$3: 0.65 In the lighting and water funds was Inherited from last year. This declaration is made In the face of the fact that in his statement, which was presented at the beginning of the year, Mr. Olsen stated that there was a balance in the water rent fund at the close of 1894 of $5: 1t is true that there was a deficiency in the light- Ing fund at the close of last year, but Mr Olsen negleats to mention the surplus in th water fund which more than offset the shortage. Taking Mr. Olsen’s figures as ealeulation and estimating the expenditures of the remaining four months of the year by the average expenditure during the previous months, it do°s not require an expert mathe- maticlan to figure that at the end of the year the funds will show deficiencies as follows: neral fund v rént Lighting ... Bills allowed Barber company Total METHOD IN HIS FIGUF Tt 18 very likely that the most rigid econ omy in all departments may reduc: thie |or a | allowed Henry Boll amount to some extent. But Mr. Olsen a serts that the city government has been con- ducted on the most economical basis possible all through the year, and if this is true the foregoing s the only conclusion that can be reached from his figures, It may seem very pecullar that the comp- troller should make two such contradictory statements at the same time. But it is well understood that there is a reason for his a tion In which the political aspirations of sev- eral members of the majority element in the council play a leading part. For months past the finance committee has been warning the council that it was imperatively necessary that the expenditures of the city should be confined to those matters which were abso- lutely necessary. So often and so emphati- cally was this admonition repeated that the “irrepressible councilman and his resolution" wera for a time sat down on. For several weeks past members have been absolutely unable to secure the passage of those quiet little _resolutions which have heretofore slipped through so easily for - the benefit of an anxious constituency. But now an election Is coming on, and it is imperatively necessary that certain members should be able to once more distribute those marks of favor with which they have been accustomed to pave their way into the good graces of the voters, It 1s now the time of year when the block of residents who want an electric light gas lamp on their corner is of Im- portance. The saloon keeper who has a defi- nito number of votes in his vest pocket must have certain street repairs mado in front of his place of business, and the counciiman who is anxious for re-election discovers that these matters are imperatively necessary and have already been overlooked too long. For weeks past the councilmen who have a Job lot of these favors on hand to distribute have been in a peck of trouble. Thelr resolu tions were emphaticilly squelched in the face of the depleted treasury, and they beheld their political aspirations endangered through lack of power to use their official position in the fence building direction. But finally a bright idea dawned and Olsen was invited to step into the breach. Some of the councilmen re membered that the comptroller’s vision was 80 impaired that he was unable to discover anything in the shape of a daficiency. He had accounts to go through his hands for two years without seeing any- thing wrong, and it was reasonable to pre- sume that his eyesight had not improved since that time. It soon developed that Olsen was till as blind as a bat when a shortage was in sight, and after due deliberation he prepared to assure the council that the treasury was all right and that members need not longer be tied up by any fear of a deficiency. He even waxed enthusiastic asd indignantly declared that it was high treason to d hat ec omy was necessary, for it injured the cre of the city at home and abroad. Olsen has done his part and the councilman with his resolution can now point to the official state ment of the comptroller and again hustle for the interests of his constituency. TALKS OF CITY FUNDS. On top of the foregoing representation, Mr, Olsen hastens to declare in the following language “The y's credit abroad {is being seri- ously injured by reports being circulated that its finances are m a deplorable condition, and I deem it proper to correct any erroneous impression by a financial statement of facts. The general fund—the only fund for which the general administration can be held responsible—will be in good condition providing no unforeseen penditures oceu notwithstanding the levy this year being le: than two-thirds of what was levied in former years, except the last, and notwith- standing the extra expense on a state fair, the necessary help: fire fund ‘of probabl ient and othe count of the g out of the 2 mills, the health de- departme that must and water funds are getting ar.

The sinking fund, to take care of the interest due on the bonded indebtedness of the city, was increas>d to 81 mills. There will be an increasc of 2 mills for the fire fund, which will have to be appropriated from the general fund. In all other funds the ex- penditures will be reduced so that with a levy less than for seve previous, with additional expenditures that could not be obviated as above shown, the expendituras of the city have been reduced so that at the of the year the various funds, except ted, will be in as good condition as re.

A complaint was filed against Bartender Charles Cummings yesterday charging him with the murder of Judd Vance on the night of September 19. Cummings will be arraigned this morning. Last Thursday night these two men are sald to have become involved in a quarrel, and during the melee Vance was struck over the temple with a billiard cue. The blow paralyzed his entire _body He was taken to his home at Plattsmouth, where he died Sunday night It is now said by persons who say that they are in a pesition to know, that some time ago Vance was struck by a rallroad train and received injurles on the head that necessitated a_ trephining operation. It was on the plate that the blow, whoever struck it, landed, and which has been said was the dlrect cause of his death. It is also alleged that the blow delivered by Cummings with the billiard cue was not of sufficient force as to cause death, with scareoly any paln after “using FRIEND.” § Bent by Expross or mall, on r price.
