Election In the Eleventh.
The aldermen made q few notable
changes in the estimates for the ensuing
year as prepared by the board of finance
last night. The most important of these
was the appropriation of $4,000 for two
new reporting stations for the police de-
partment, one to be located in the Fourth
and one in the Ninth ward. The appro-
priation will probably meet with the ap-
proval of the councilmen. The attendance
was unusually large.
1t was ordered that a special election in
the Eleventh ward be held on Monday, De-
cember 10, to vote off the tie between the
candidates for oouncilmen, Harvey G.Pond

same is hereby taken, from the new pavement
fund and transferred to the police department
for the purpose of hiring and furnishing suitable

Ward 0, said fund not to be used by the police
department for any other purpose.

making the amount $1,000, which, hi
thought, would be sufficient to secure the
two reporting stations. This amendment
