BREAK IN THE BUDGET.
Estimated Appropriations Exceed a
Revenues Of the CITY.

Estimated Appropriations Exceed the
Revenues of the CITY.
The Common Council, at is regular
meeting held last Monday night and con-
tinued Tuesday night, considered the am
nual budget making appropriations Cor the
various departments o. ,he city government,
for the fiscal scar ending January 81, 1891.
The Council. under chartered rights. has
the privilege Of appropriating the revenues
OF the city, which Ia ail amounted TO 81, l26-
i2j. and this amount was duly disposed OF
by the FINANCE Committee. in an ordinance
recommending the appropriations. The
Common Council saw it 20 90 bow shot
beyond the recommendations OF the Finance
Committee, and the various amendments
made by il % the ordinance canceling appr0-
pratiOns for 1882 and making appropria-
tons for 1890, swelled the total amount of
appropriations to Sl.lSl, i2j, making the
amount appropriated $4,000 more than the
revenues of the city, virtually wiping out of
existence the contingent fund also.
The Board Of Aldermen meet next Mon
day night, when the budget will be taken
up for consideration. IL is an open secret
that the Board will not concur i'm the acton
of the lower branch, and that the budget
will be recOmmtied 20 the Finance Com
mittee, rejected. or disposed of i'm some way
else than its passage.
The matter has been very much discussed
in Council circles, and dcseryedly receives
grave consideration az the hands of the
members of the board. The action of the
board will be watched with eager interest,
and the members Of the Finance Committee,
particularly, will be anxious 20 see what
disposal will be made Of their work On the
budget. The chances are that tie-up will
certainly ensue.
