BIG JUMP IN EXPENSES.
THE CITY BUDGET FOR 1891 $685.
500 GREATER THAN FOR 1890.

Sixty Thousand Dollars Appropriated
for the New Water Works and
S95, 900 for Street improvements
BUN Street to be Paved-The House
Orange Appropriation $4,000
The Pay Of the Firemen to be
Graded and the Pay of the Police
to Remain as it Is.
The city council. after working hard on
the budget for next year, has about COM
pleted its labors, and next Wednesday
night the budget will be read in connection
with the tax ordinance.
A spirit of public Improvement has taken
possession of the aldermen, and the in
creased appropriations for carrying on i'm
provements will no doubt be a
pleasant surprise to the citizens gen.
orally, particularly from the fact that
the improvements contemplated will be
carried through without cent of increase
in the taxation. Instead of an increase the
specific taxes will actually be reduced
$4,000, which news will as good as Christ
mas present to Savannah business men.
A surplus of 100000 was figured on, but
it will more than likely be at least $4,000.
OF this amount about $50, 900 was paid in
by ground renters, and the other 49,, 900 is
clear saving from the revenue.
BIG INCREASE IN EXPENSES.
The estimates for 1891 are I26, 800 greater
than those of 1890. The following is a COM
parative table for 1880 and 1891:

TWO TENEMENrs Quilted.
Fireraen Fight Lively Blazs on Yves
Broad Street.

Firemen Fight a Lively Blazs on West
Broad Street.
Two houses, Nos. 1877 and 127]% West
Broad street, between CASTOR and Minis,
were Quilted by fire yesterday afternoon.
An alarm was turned in about o'clock
from Box SO, at Wayne and West Broad
streets, and engines 2, 8 and 4, truck No. 2
and the chemical responded. The horses
had long and hard pull through heavy
sand, and when the firemen reached the
scene the fire had gained considerable head
way.
The department went to work vigorously,
however, and soon had the fire under con-
troll. No. III was one-story frame build
ing, and No. 1919 a two-story. The origin
OF the fire is unknown, as it started in the
wall between the two houses William
Black (colored) occupied the larger house,
and lost almost everything. The smaller
one was occupied by Henry Cooper, another
colOred man, who saved most Of his furni-
ture. Neither occupant carried insurance,
and Black has card in the MORNING News
appealing to his white friends to aid him.
The burned houses belonged to Mrs s. A.
Minis Of Baltimore, who is represented here
by Justice Samuel Reynolds. The loss on
the houses will be about $3.50. and is partly
covered by insurance.
Had it not been for the hard work of the
fire department, serious confiagration
might have resulted, as the burned houses
were situated in the center of a block of
frame buildings, all occupied by poor col
ored people. who could have Ill afforded to
lose their little belongings
Several adjoining houses caught from the
flying sparks, but were quickly extinguished
by the chemical.

pounds. valued at s14,60o. Cargo by Ray
mond Judge.
The City of Americas, en- its last trip to
Augusta, arrived sixteen hours late. The
delay was caused by the breaking of pad
die at Johnson's landing, which necessitated
the stopping of the boat. A large number
of passen gers were aboard, and the toat had
a very heavy freight.
The Norwegian bark Vesta which sailed
hence Nov. 20 for Granton, with a cargo Of
naval stores, arrived at Tybee yesterday
leaking. She put back on account Of the
very heavy weather and the leak AT one
time there was i've feet of water in her.
She is not leaking much now, as the crew,
by pumping, is enabled to keep even. The
vessel will come up the cit yto-day, and will
most likely have to discharge and haul out
on the railway for an examination and re-
pairs.
