AX DECREASED: BUDGET LOWER. . Grout Pledges a Reduction in Taxation in 1903 of at Least $10,000,000 Through His Pruning Knife. CITY’S PURSE OF MILLIONS. More Than $97,119,000 Required, the Largest Item Going to the De- partment of Education, Which Will Have Over $20,000,000. {The Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment have agreed upon the budget for 1908, and the figures were made pubiic at the meeting to-day. These figures include the sums allowed each munict- pal department, the county bureaus and the various charitable institutions en- titled to public support. The figures in- icate that the administration has em- ployed the knife carefully and freely. ‘The increases demanded by almost all ‘of the departments have been cut down greatly in some cases. ‘The total of the budget for next year ds $97,119,031.10, as against $98,619,600.88 for * 3902, It is stated, however, that this decrease is due entirely to the abolition of the State tax by Gov. Odell. Last year the State tax was included In the budget. It amounts to $4,000,000, With {ts abolition the clty was relieved of the tax and it cannot be included in the budget for next year. The fuct remains that the present Board of Bstimate and Apportionment has actually allowed the departments $3,500,000 more than the old board. By far the largest Item in the budget Is the allowance ‘to the Board of Educa- _ ton, which receives over $20,000,000. Big Sum for Poltce. The Police Department will receive {$11,560,608.42, an Increase of $261,486 over Jest year. It in one of the few depart- ments favored by the Board. ‘Another large item Is the interest on the city debt amounting to $13,276,700.6 fan increase of $338,993.42 over last year. For the redemption of the city debt, the Board sets aside $10,417,359.17, an in- crease of $222,804. Commissioner Woodbury will have at Bis disposal for 1903, $5,362,112. The Fire Department gets $5,215,300. One of the most disappointed oMfctals in town to-day was Borough President Cassidy, of Queens, who estimated his Minancial necessities for the year at $1,500,000. The Board allows him $769,300. Manhattan's Share. President Cantor gets what he asked for—$1,706,430.0—which Is a decrease of Comptroller Grout sald to-day that upon the basis for the budge, for next the tax bills for the fall of 1903 I] be decreased by $10,00,00) at least.

The woman's head and face were badly swollen and covered with blood, but this may have been caused by an in ternal hemorrhage, The police are undecided os to whether It Is a case of murder or one of sulclde, but they lean toward the latter theory.

INDORSES MORGAN IDEA. The threats of the coal operators to make roprisals against the retail dealers who persist In ping prices up to un- reasonable figures resulted to-day In the insurgents cutting thelr prices from the schedule of 89 to $7.50 a ton. It Js very likely that they will come down by to-morrow or the day after to $6.50, the price at which those retailers have been favored by the whole lera with larger consignments have been selling the coal for several days. These men are still quoting that price, and as they are getting more than thelr share of coal the other fellows are get- ting nervous. cement in The Evening Jay that unless there wan a break in the ranks of the grasping dealers the operators might establish retall depots of thelr own in all of the boroughs of the city was the biggest factor in making them reduce thelr de mands, The supply of coal coming Into the city still remains about 2,00 tons @ day. ‘The operators hope to increase this output daily, but they admit that the celebration by the miners of ‘Mit- chell Day" necessarily will put than back in their calculations, Tt is stated that the mine owners nave on of this one came to the house to work as a laundress, but after an hour's work left, saying she had been fll and the work was too hard. Her name was Matilda and she had formerly worked for J. L, Brower, of One Hundred and Ninth street and Riverside Drive. Five trunk and satchol keys were also foind and a black purse containing 65 cents and part of a letter on which was written: “Capt. F.

The saving in rental and yardage, it is claimed; will be enormous, and the fact that the clty 1s barren of coal gives opportunity for a full start in ail sections, with success certain. Henry 8, Fleming, the secretary of the Retail Coal Dealers’ Association, feela certain that all the large retailers will be called into the project. “The ‘dea, as I understand it, he said, “Is to have the large dealers ap- portion the territory in Greater ew York, each dealer to control a certain radius and buy out the small traders in his section, “A large dealer could make it pay well by charging 7 cents over the clr- cular price, which would pay all ex- penses and give him a fair profit, It must be remembered that the dealer buys coal at the yroes ton of 2,240 pounas and sells the net ton of 2,000 pounds, ‘This in {tself Is 10 per cent. profit. “The small dealers charge in order to make a good Mving from $1.50 to $2.50 a ton over the circular price.
