THE BEE: PMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1910, APPORTIONING CITY'S FUNDS Finance Committee Reports Schedule | of Allotments for Departments. LIBRARY FIRST TO BREAK IT Board Securea Increase of $2,000 at| Fspense of. Fire and Police | ForceseeCounell Tied by | Charter Limits. The lbrary. buard was first to break through the apportionment agreement pre- sented to the -eity council by the finance committee Thursday morning. To this board $37,000 had been allowed, being an in- crease of ($2000 over last year, but still $,000 under the maximum allowed by law. After a presentation by President F. L Haller of the library board, Colonel Fetter- | man, secretary; and other members, the councll agreed to deduct $1,000 each from the fire and the police department allow- ances and give the money to the library, It s figured that, with fines, this will come pretty. close to allowing the lbrary its maximum amount. Following are the amounts asked by the various departments from the general fund, with the amount agreed on by the finance committes, and last year's apportionment Am'ts Recom- Asked mended for by by fi- Depart- nance ments.

In the digoussion, which began hot and 1leavy as soon as the council got together, ‘he last legislature was put on the grid- ron for its incapacity and failure to grasp | he needs of Omaha as a big, growing city. | Jemocrats . and republicans alike agreed | hat by its work on the charter the legls- atlve delegation from Douglas county tled nots /about the limbs of the municipality *hich are hard to break. The council spent n hour, with City Attorney Burnham and lity Comptroller Lobeck as assistants, try- g to tind some way to untle the first not. This was encountered in the pro- /ision that the councll can only appropriate M per cent of the city's possible Income, and that it Is malfeasance for any coun- cilman to vote obligations inst more than that amount or for the comptroller to draw warrants ageinst a penny more be- fore it is In the city treasury. Comptroller Lobeck wanted to cut the ved tape, it possible, and make apportion- ment on ‘business liries,” as he put it, from past expgrience with tax receipts. Attorney Burpam couldn't advise councll in just that way, holding to the language | of the charter. How it Will Ge. Couneliman Funkhouser, chairman of the | finance committes, supported the city at- torney's .view, and further proceedings were taken with the charter provision to the front. In the apportionment as framed ‘or the various departments by the finance committee. $60,000 of the occupation tax mouey 18 prorated, as follows: $5,000 to the library, $14400 to the fire department, $11,000 to the police department, $5,000 to the park fund, 3,00 to the lighting fund, $,000 to street cleaning, ¥,000 to curbing, guttering and paving and §2,000 to street rapairs and grading. City Attprney Burnam held that §50,000 Is every cent that can be apportioned at this time, & that amount added to the $960,000 | provided for by levy makes the $1,000,000 that the charter allows to be expended. Keeping this pro rata distribution of $50,000 in mind, following are the amounts | for special funds reported by the finance Fiment . partment Curbing, Street repairs an (Fire Department Short. The fire department allowance $.,000 short, (n the above table, of the maximum ‘amount permitted, but losing $1,000 to ~the -Mbrary fund will place it | 2,000 below Waximum. The police depart- | ment would .be enly $2000 short of fits| maximum, but losing 81,00 to tile lbrary board cuts it §3,000 below the maximum. | Heaith. Commissioner Connell, whose | estimate was cut deeply by the swing of | the axe, protested that, while the council| would probably do as It pleased, he could not get along with less than he had asked | for and do his work properly. He sald the| only two large additional items of expense involved in his estimate were for a gar- Lage Inspector, §L20 a year, including a horse and buggy, and 31500 for a slaughter hoyse .
