THE CITY'S FINANCES.
The Questions to Be Discussed in the Star
Chamber Session.

Chamber Session.
The announcement that the council wa.
| to meet in executive session Friday eve
ming created considerable talk upon the
| street. A GAZETTE reporter endeavored to
| interview all the aldermen and ascertain
| their views upon the subject. but when the
| reporter called at the business places of
! several they were absent. and for this reason
al expression of the opinions of the entire
| council cannot be given.
| Meeting Alderman Drake of the Sixth
| ward the reporter asked:
What is new in city affars2'
Nothing particularly, except that l
! think we are getting into deep water finan-
clally, and some stringent measures should
decreasing taxation. You will remember |
oheied several resolutions in the city coun-
eli with this end in view, and was sat
down upon with rather dull thud'
What has become of those resolutions ~
'1he one relative to the decrease of the
city police force and sanitary force are
smoldering in the hands of the committee.

ton OF the committeeman, but l have ex-
pected ere this report but have been
doomed TO disappointment. l have pre-
dlcted heretofore that if the city council
persisted in their lavish expenditure of
money we would have receiver sitting in

that file Of paper might be valuable

which was then being tried on the streets,
was purchased by the Durham Hose
Company No. and is proving prize
well worth capturing. A more perfect
match, in size and color, could not have
been found had the company searched
over seven states, and being only three
years Old is il the full prime and vigor of
horse youth. AS the pair now stand
they are the handsomest owned by any
fire company in the state, and the boys
are excusable for feeling little proud
over their appearance. These animals
were in front of The GLOBE office to-day
and to say that they were beauties would
be to express it mildly.
