If the estimated revenue of $71,000 is obtained this year it will leave $3,950 for the contingent fund, as the ordinance pro- vides that all revenue recelved above the amounts appropriated shall be placed In that fund.

For the fire and police telegraph $200 Is cut off the amount appropriated last year. The engi- neer's department suffers a reduction of 3500 this year. For the streets and alleys the appropriation is increased from $5,000, which was appropriated last year, to $8;000 thie year. For printing and supplies the appropriation {s reduced $200. Last year there being no clty election there was n appropriation for this expense. propriation for the city pound is the same as last year. the deficiency in the water fund year | 1s $10,000, as against $9,000 last year. This increase Is made necessary by additional hydrants installed during the last twelve months. The 10-mill levy, as provided by statute for the general fund, will bring in about $36,000, 80 the committee estimates that the remaining $35,000 will be made up by saloon licenses and other sources derived from the police fund. The 5-mill levy, the limit al- lowed for the water fund, will produce about $18,000, reas ithe hydrant rental amounts to $26,300.

It was decided that the request could not be complied with, as the city had no alterna- tive in the matter for the reason that the state law provides that every able-bodied man must work two days of eight hours each, or In lieu thereof pay & sum not to exceed §1.50 a day for the two days as poll tax. Thus the eity has only the right to fix the amount to be paid in lleu of the two days' work and the ordinance has fixed this at §2. The Citizens’ Gas and Electric LiZht com- pany extended the aldermen and other city officials an Ilavitation to visit and inspect its remodelled substation and its new gae purifying plant.

In the matter of the protest of the Grone- weg & Schoentgen company against being wssessed for the paving of the Intersection of Union avenue and Nioth street the coun- ell decided to let the original assessment stand.
