THE PUBLIC MARKET
The Committee on Public Market reported that

farmers In taxing their produce to Washington

A Deficiency in the Salary Appropriation.
Some OF the city officials made an unpleasant dis
covery yesterday. They found that the salary ap-
preparation had all been used up, and that they
about $l4 900 short OF what would be required
TO pay those employed under the City government
up to the lst OF January. This has probably been
occasoned by the fact tnat number q clerks about
the Hall have had their salaries increased. No
more money can be raised until the Legislature
meets, and some or the officials Will, therefore, have
to wait o month or more for their last months
