The subject Of expenditures then
came up and Mr., Cruise proposed that
items that are absolutely necessary be
fret taken up.
OF, the question OF salaries there was
no discussion, tho estimate OF $1,000
being granted by the committee.
For the payment OF interest and re-
demption Of bonds on the loan OF 1877,
Sl2, 600 was appropriated; loan OF 1881,
Sl4,009 so; loan OF 1885, $3.50 These
amounts were absolutely necessary, so
there could be no scaling, Neither was
there any discussion oil the item of
$500 for the collection Of taxes, the
opinion being that the work could not
be done for less.
The Main street stone bridge items
came in the necessary class and we're
not disturbed. The matter OF the com
promise loan came up, and it was de-
cided to provide only for the payment
of the interest which will amount to
S2,480. None Of the compromise bonds
will be redeemed this year.
The estimate made by the committee
on scales next came VI and did not
escape unscathed. The committee
asked for nm appropriation OF $500, but
the committee on finance thought $3.50
would be sufficient, and made the
appropriation at the latter figure.
The estimate from the committee on
real estate did not fare any better
They asked for $1,000 OF which $1,000
was to be for the purpose OF making re-
pairs on the city building. After con-
siderable discussion the tinanciers cut
the appropriation to $1,000, and the re-
pair fund will suffer that much.
The committee on cemeteries had
prepared an estimate in which 81, 100
was wanted, but it was scaled and
stands at $1,000.
The prison estimate was for S4,100.
After much discussion by several men,
bers OF the committee 1t was agreed to
place the estimate at $4,000.

tee on police. called for S31, $50 for tho
use Of the police department during the
present year, but 1t was early seen that
1t would not get through the finance
committee, without considerable reduc-
tons. One item was $3,740 for seven
additional police officers, another $500
for another horse for tho patrol wagon,
and $500 for q house for the patrol
wagon and horses. Mr.. Gruse moved
that the item Of $500 for q new house be
substituted by the appropriation Of 500
for making changes in the present
quarters 90 that the additional horse
can be stabbed. Mr.. Richards thought
that an appropriation OF nothing would
be better than one Of 500, as nothing
could be done with that sum; he
moved that $500 BIO substituted for
500, but as there was no second to
his motion, the original motion
came up and was passed. Previous to
this tho committee went over to the
Atlantic engine house and made an ex-
animation Of the premises. The item
in tho police estimate providing for an
appropriation for seven additional police
officers was next considered. Messrs.
Cruise, Maxwell and Otto were opposed
to the appropriation this year in view
Of the tussle the city will have in order
to make both ends meet. Mr.. Otto
moved that the item for additional of
flcers DO not allowed. 1t prevailed
without d dissenting vote. Tho item Of
$4,000 for salaries OF police officers was
cut to S2l,500.. Tho police estimate as
amended by the finance committee
stands at $27,44o.
The estimate OF the markets commit
toe was partially considered. This COM
mittee asks for an appropriation OF
$B,l75, OF which $500 is for.necessary
repairs on the Second ward market, and
$40 for repairs on Centre market. The
finance committee wa not disposed to
allow the estimate to stand. Several
members objected to tho largo amounts
asked for repairs on tho Second ward
market. and seemed to think that
necessary repairs could DO done for a
much less sum. II was finally ordered
that tho chairman OF the committee on
markets advertise for bids for the work
