Another Meeting for Tonight

The Council Committee on Finance
held its fourth session, last evening,
and resumed consideration Of the an
nual appropriation ordinance. The re-
port Of the Gas Trustees, appropriating
sos, 429. 81, being the total OF estimated
revenues and balance of cash on hand,
was the first thing taken up, and this
amount was appropriated, on motion OF
Mr.. Cruise. The Board Of Gas Trustees
will have to get along with this, &C
cording TO the action of the Committee,
as best they can, and this, Of course,
involves the handling Of the estimated
deficiency of $50, o77.55 in that manner.
The next item taken up was the ten
cent levy, amounting to $50, 1853
While it was not strictly a part OF the
Committees business, Mr.. Grusa
brought up, as preliminary, the Ques-
tion Of new and old brick In repairing
the water pipes ditch, In North Wheel
ing. He said he had talked
with two of the Water Trus-
tees, and had ascertained it would
take from $1,000 to $1,000 TO
buy the new brick, and he had suggest
ed that this be done, and the old brick
all put down together in some place
where they could be worked in as q
whole. Mr.. Cruise said he thought the
Water Trustees would be willing to do
this, as the contractors could not be ex-
pected, In this case, TO bear the burden.
The Committee agreed with Mr.. Gruse's
idea, and Council will likely act, on the
recommendation of the Committee, at
the next meeting.
The ten cent levy was then taken up
and the Chair said there would be 81
$50. 40 for each ward, If it were equally
divided. Mr.. Brock said he wanted his
share of the fund 10 go on McCulloch
street, as the Third ward members had
agreed the further improvement OF that
street was necessary and desirable. 1t
was so ordered.
The Chair said Mr.. Wheat, who was
absent, wanted two swewers and some
curling. OF this 81, Os7 was for sewer
in alley H, from Thirty-seventh to
Thirty-ninth street, 1926 for sewer in
alley C, from Thirty-third to Thirty
sixth streets; and $3.50 for curbing on
Thirty-eighth street, from Jacob to
Eoff, and Eoff to water. The first two
items, amounting to $1,000, were appro-
priated.
For the Sixth ward, Mr.. Cruise said he
wanted 1907 in all, for sewer in Alley
&, from Twenty-fourth to Twenty
fifth streets, for sewer in Alley u.
and one in Alley B, from Twenty-slxth
to Twenty-Seventh streets. curoing on
northeast corner Of Twenty-fourth and
Eoff, $50; on Eoff, around new school
house, $120; Market, east OF Twenty
seventh street, 500; Twenty-siXth be-
tween Market and Main, $50; Alley 20,
east OF Alley Z, $40. and retaining
curb on Twenty-ninth street. There
was some opposition to approprlating
any more to one ward than its equal
share, and Mr.. Gruse's list was tenn
porarily passed, until ii could be 50 en-
whether any ward could spare the sum,
Mr.. Cruise was short.
For the Fifth ward, Mr.. Wiedebusch
said he wanted all his money to pave
and sewer Eoff street, from Twentieth
to Twenty-second. The paving would
be So, 922, and the sewer 81, 375, total
of 81, 297. The sewer item was appro-
priated, and the paving was laid over,
but later 1,214. 80 was appropriated to-
ward paving the street to the new Hos
pital.
For the Fourth ward, Mr.. Grimm
wanted a sewer On Wood street, between
alley Is and Seventeenth street, Sl25;

Atlantic engine house to Eoff street,

Quota was held over for consultation by
Mr.. Grimm with other members from
the ward.

colleagues as to items. Per-
sonaly, he was in favor OF giving part
of his wards money to McCulloch
