STRIKING AT BIGELOW.
Mayor Gourley Anxious to Cut Down the
Chiefs Estimate in Order to Reduce the
sIiIIage-Brown's and ElIiot's Figures
VIII BE Left Alone

Mayor Gourley Anxious to Cut Down the
Chiefs Estimate in Order to Reduce the
NfIIage-Brown's and Eriot's Figures
VIII Be Left Alone.
Mayor Gourley, Controller Morrow and
Chief Bigelow held an extended conference
in the Mayors Office yesterday afternoon
relative TO the amount of money to be ap-
propriated for the Department of Public
Works the coming fiscal year. The Mayor
has decided to prune down expenses as
much as possible. 1t appears that the Pub
lie Works Department is the only place
where he will have an opportunity to do
any cutting without 1mpairing the service
in the various apartments Chief Brown S
estimate OF his expenses for the year was so
modest that surprise was expressed gener-
ally that he had not asked for more, and it
is not likely that any reduction will be at
tempted IN his appropriation. Controller
Morrow is quoted as saving that he could
not see how Chief Brown could run his de-
partment on the money asked for and at the
same time make the improvements in the
way OF new engines, water tower and in
creaslng the fire service generally as he has
been ordered by Councils.
Chief Elliot's estimate is the same prac-
will be made to eliminate any of its features.
Chief Bigelow asks for S535. 224 more
than he received last year, but there is such
a general clamor for Improvements that,
while he desires to cut down as much as
possible, he hnds he can't do it without
cutting out some desirable improvement
His estimate includes about S40O, 900 for
street repavlng. This amount is equivalent
to mills tax on valuation of 5000, 000, 600,
which the city is expected to reach or ex-
ceed this year, but to repair all the streets
that need It would require a million. The
Mayor desires Chief Bigelow to cut down
his estimate to what it was last wear, and
the conferences of the Mayor and the Chief
that have been held the past few days are
for that purpose. Several cuts have already
been made, but they are not extensive. and
it is doubtful if the Mayors object can be
attained before next Monday, when his
message TO Councils will be due.

Ignorance of the Election Laws Shown

The Stayton-Wyman Allegheny City
Mayoralty contest was on the boards again
yesterday, and though the meeting did not
advance Stayton's chances, it further
emphasized the necessity of an apprentice
system or school for the education of cleo
ton officers. The ballot boxes of three dis
tricts were opened and in them 46 illegal
votes were found that had been cast for
Stayton, and 49, also illegal, for Wyman, SO
that the latter gained six votes by yester-
days work. The votes were all illegal
simply on account of defective afidavits
and other blunders that did not indicate
criminality, though there might have been
some carelessness Ignorance can be pre-
dicsted pretty safely, as the illegal votes
are so evenly divided all over the city as to
show thar neither party could have been
dong skull-duggery in this respect.
