THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
Arrangements Made for q Preliminary
Estimate.

At the meeting of the board of park commits
sioners last night, at which all the members
were present, Commissioner Evans reported for
the committee on labor and Improvements that
it was impossible for the committee TO arrive at
q knowledge as TO the cost OF doing the
necessary work on the various parks with
out the aid OF some one who could
furnish plans, estimates, etc, and recommended
the employment of James Taylor, who is at
present employed as engineer on the Union
Trunk lines.
Mr.. Evans said that Taylor's time was not all
taken up in his present employment, and being
capable man he would be just what was
wanted. 1t was voted to employ him to make
the necessary plans and suggest ideas to the
board regarding the best method of doing the
work, the city to pay half his monthly salary
and be entitled to half his time.
Commissioner Barker stated that the COM
mittee on finance failed TO get proposition
from Z. 5. Whittier stating what his company
would do toward fixing up the city park on
Broadway.
Commissioner Evans stated that it was not
advisable TO enter into any arrangement with the
university commissioners for the property lying
between Lake Union aud Union bay for park
purposes, as the latter has no title but only q
ninety-nine years lease from the state.
1t was voted 10 have the committee on labor
and Improvements correspond with two cele-
brated park engineers, Cleveland and Oimstead
and get figures from them for their services in
laying out the parks. Mr.. Evans said he had
an estimate of $500 from one engineer for all
the necessary plans, ETC.
Commissioners Evans and Burgess were an
pointed committee TO arrange for permanent
quarters for the commission.
An adjournment was taken until next Thurs
day evening.

Then he called on the proprietors of res

NO TAX LEVY YET.
The Council Net, But Had
Formed No Opinion.
BOTH HOUSES TO MEET AGAIN.
Pontius Declines to Be President-Alder-
man Miller Unanimously Elected
The Park Board.

The city council met last night in joint ses-
sion 10 consider the requirements of the city
and the amour. of tax levy TO be made. Alder
man Miller presided.
Mr. Bagley read summary of the report OF
Comptroller Ferris, published at the time il was
prepared, showing how the several city funds
viii probably stand at the close Of the year. The
comptroller has suggested in the report a tax
levy OF 6la mills.
Mr.. Hanford reminded them that the mayors
message had pointed out that they could only
levy for the current year ending December 81
Mr.. kittinger suggested that they base the
levy upon the mayors message, which seemed
TO be accepted by the people as the most salts
factory course
Alderman Miller also agreed that they had
better follow the lines laid down in that mes
sage and discard the comptrollers report. He
believed a tax levy of 3 mills would pay the in
terest and leave $4,000 for current expenses.
Alderman Wilcox thought the whole matter
was out OF order and out of good taste The
board OF equalization ought to have done its
duty and not have to be told.
Mr.. Miller said the board OF equalization has
nothing whatever 10 do with the matter: this is
only an informal talk.
Mr.. kittinger said the finance committee had
the matter IN charge, but desired to have the
opinions of the members OF the council.
Mr.. Hanford was not in favor OF issuing too
many bonds The city already had good many
out. and if they carry out the mayors sugges-
tons, they might food the market.
Mr.. Jones, alter long, desuitory talk, moved,
in order to get the sense of the meeting, that the
tax levy do not exceed three mills
Mr. Kittinger said they could not discuss the
matter inteIligently until the report OF the
finance committee was before them.
This was accepted as the sense of the meeting,
and the understanding was that both houses
adjourn until O'Clock today.
The aldermen returned TO their chamber and
DR.. Sweeney asked general consent to recon
sideration of the vote by which they had adj
journed until 100 clock. Mr.. Wilcox objected to
it as out OF order, they had already adjourned.
Aldermen Sweeney, Pontius and Snyder joined
in call for an immediate meeting so as to be in
order, but Wilcox left the room, preventing
quorum, and the Others had no alternative but
10 meet today at 1:S0 O'Clock.
The two houses met separately but transacted
no business worth recording, except that Alder
man Pontius declined to be nominated president
pro tenn, and Alderman Miller was elected
