CHICAGO CUTTING DowN ExPENsEs.-A
Chicago letter to the New York Times de-
tails the plan 'of retrenchment recently
adopted by the city authorities III view OF
the dire financial straits in which the CITY
has lately found herself. There is fionting
Indebtedness OF So, 600 in the shape OF
CITY certificates, which We're 1rregulafly
issued and are going to protest, and the ctty
has been in arrears for several months,
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars, in the payment OF its employees.
There was but one way to meet, such q con-
dition OF things, and an ordinance was pre-
pared, passed, and approved--aud Is now In
actual operation-whereby two millions OF
dollars will be saved from the appropriations
OF the current fiscal year, which amounted
to five millions. 3
The Police and Fire Departments have
been reduced ten per cent. in the number
OF employees and fifteen per cent. in pay.
In the schools fancy studies, like music and
drawing, have been dropped altogether,
and besides q similar reduction OF twenty
FIVE per cent. has been ordered in the cost
Of maintaining the schools. In the Health,
Public Library Building, and other depart
lnents. a still larger ratio OF reduction has
been decided upon. In the Department OF
Public Works there is q radical saving OF
fifty per cent. or one-half the entire appro-
priation for this branch of the service.
4 part Of this saving is secured by re-
duction OF the force and pay OF employees,
but another and larger part by the dis
continuance Of certain improvements. There
has been similar saving Of fifty per cent.
in the cost OF lighting the city; the gas COM
pany, yielding to- the force OF public opin-
ion, has reduced the price fifty cents per
thousand, and the burners in the street
lamps, which are eXtravagantly numerous,
have been changed from six feet to five in
capacity. The wages Of nil city employees
have been reduced from fifteen to twenty
five per cent, and the net result Of all this
is a saving to the city Of S2,00O,000 for this
year, and if the same policy sbe maintained
for two years, the floating Indebtedness I'M
lawfully incurred may be paid of, and the
municipal credit will be fully restored.
