There was a meeting of the Board OF

Wanser's appointee to the Board of Police
Commissioners, was present. and asked
that the Board make an appropriation OF
5000, by which the proposed new
armory at Bergen avenue and
Church street might be constructed.
The State appropriated $135, 600 for the
building of the new armory. but the
lowest bid under the specification was
$4,000. higher than the original appropri-
alton. Inasmuch as the city Is now pay
ing armory rentals 30 the extent OF a
81. 900 a year the board considered it ad-
visible to make the appropriation.

thoriZing the making OF such an appro-
priation. and under the following reso-
lutiou it was N ade:-

DISPOSAL OF THE FUND.
Had tine Board not made this %appropria-
tion the money appropriated by the State

The Little End of the Chicago Horn.
From the Chicago Tribune.

1t is now conceded that the stockhold-
ers of the Worlds fair will not get any
of their money back. 1t also is conceded
that in addition to their $5,500,0O0 the
city of Chicago will not get any of its
S. 100000 back. This $10,500, 900 must
be charged up to the account of local
pride and patriotism. The problem now
is to day the floating and bonded indebt-
edness. One of our contemporaries
affirms that the floating Indebtedness is
practically liquidated. We fear it has
let its imagination run away with its &C
curacy. If it will study Auditor Acker-
mans official statement of July 6 it will
take until far into the month before the
floating Indebtedness is cleared off
Then there is 100000 of bonded in
debtedEess to be paid, and cancelling
Sundays, there remain but IS days in
which to do it. In the face Of growing
financial stripgency and railroads high
fares to the exposition it seems almost
useless to hope that it can be done by the
greatly increased attendance which was
expected in September and October.
