THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Another Meeting Held Last Night,
With Little Progress.
There Must be More Taxes in Some
Form, for the Two Ends Cannot
be Made to Meet on a Fifty Gent
Levy Basis - Various Methods
Proposed to Raise More Cash.

The Council Committee on Finance
reassembled last evening, and resumed
consideration of the estimated revenues
and expenditures for 1896.
The first matter taken UP was intro
duced informally before the Committee
was called to order by DR.. Stathers, who
made the point that the Water Board
proposed to expend S104 2S4.S2 for 1895,
as against but $SS,221.14 in 1895, this
increase coming at time when the city
generally was very hard up. The DOC
tors idea was to cut, If possible, some
thing off the Water Board for use else
where. The matter was brought 10 the
attention of the Committee formally and
officially by Chairman Robinson, when
it was pointed out that there was con-
tract between the city and the Holly
Manufacturing Company, the terms OF
which prevented any interference Win
the revenues of the Water Board Tor ten
years.
This appeared to settle the matter,
and the talk gradually drifCed OH 10
other measures of raising revenues,
such as additional taxes on vehicles, a
tax on bicycles. tax Gil brewers, ana
an increase in the valuation or Dusl-
ness real estate, on Main, Market ana
other streets. The vehicle tax appear
ed to meet with most favor, Tor the req
son that a wholesale house running
trucks or manufacturer owning teams,
or a private citizen owning a carriage
wore out the streets as much as mack
or express wagon, kept for hire ana
charged a license tax at present. ihe
objection was raised that owners OF We
hicles already paid taxes on them as
property, but to this answer was maze
that the same thing was true OF Vehlcles
kept for hire From these topics the
discussion ran off onto that other ola
subject. the taxation of telephone and
telegraph companies, and the purely
nominal taxes paid by the western
Union and Postal Companies was re-
ferred to. A large amount OF time was
taken I'D in a discussion of these mat
tiers. and it was nearly nine o'clock be-
fore the Committee gOt down 10 h5-
ures.
The estimated receipts for the year
Being s424.156.32. and the estimated eX-
penses 1929 06456, there was discrep-
ancy of S4,9OS.24, not including the Gas
Board overcheck of S10,942.Ol, and the
difference of 1854 between the $l0l,-
S44 asked for by the Gas Board and the
500 coo allowed them. These items
footed up $25 1851, and this is arrived
at too. by cutting the stone bridge bal
ance from S1S,449.29 to $3.50. 1t may
fall below S12 900, and may 60 up to s16,-
600. the matter being very largely
guesswork.
After another long talk the Commit
tee got back TO the bicycle and vehicle
tax question, and Capt. Otto moved that
an ordinance be at once recommended.
The Chair suggested fixing the rate
first. and DR.. Stathers started to say
something about getting all the bicycle
owners and vehicle owners down on

the thread Of his tho1ght.
Chairman Robinson started 10 ora"

and vehicles, but Dr Stathers ana MT.
Ebeling. riders. and Mr.. Bodley, not
rider, were opposed to a bicycle tax,
and the matter was dropped. Then the
Chair wanted to know about the vehicle
tax, and Capt. Otto suggested 10 leaVe
that to the bicycle men. FINALLY the
Chair suggested a resolution asking Tor
an ordinance levying tax, not specl-
fed, on ''all vehicles" and this was
adopted. Then it was found that Coun-
Gil had already passed such resolu-
ton, offered in the Second Branch by
T. G.. Britt, and referred TO the Ordin-
ance Committee, and the resolution
passed by the Finance Committee was
accordingly destroyed
Another resolution WIS then passed.
ordering a special assessment on all
telegraph and telephone companies, and
this was adopted unanimously
The Committee again took up the es-
Inmates and the discrepancy, and the
$500 cut off the Fire Department esti-
mate, at the last m Getting, for improve
ments at the Eighth ward engine house,
was put on again. on motion of Dr.
Stathers. This made the total for fire
S37 Pcs and the grand total S429. 56456,
and the discrepancy S5,40S.24. To this
was added the Gas Boards over-check
of 10,942.C7, making the discrepancy
S16,35031. not counting the 1884 diff
ference between the Gas Boa ards esti-
mated receipts and what they wanted.
Various methods OF meeting this were
proposed One was today an extra levy
of &c on S23 100000, which would pro-
duce $1,000 to meet the discrepancy
CT s16,350.31; another plan, which
included the engine house at
house in at $4,000; and another plan,
which included the engine house at
$1,000, vas to lay ar extra levy of 10c,
and still third plan was TO cut out
the engine house altogether and lay an
extra levy of sc.
Right here the Committee hesitated.
and finally adjourned until Thursday
evening, and meanwhile the brewers
will be interviewed on the subject OF a
special tax.

CAE DONALD SCORY
FOR TINY BOYS.

haven't told the tiny boys story all
for their "Ioney selves for long, long
time, SO I am going to tell them one to-day.
Not many weeks ago little black-eyed
George and blue-eyed Donald spent
whole day together.
They had not seen each other for six
months, and that's most as long as SIX
years to tiny boys, isn't itP Now this is
how it came about:
One day as Donald's mamma was walk
ing along Market street, whom should she
chance to meet but Georgie's mamma,
and these two arranged for the visit right
there. The day was set, and Donald's s
III ANNA told Georgie's mamma that sne
would send some one for George early IN
the morning, and would see that he got
safely home in the evening.
There were two very happy tiny boys IN
this big City that night when the sweetneWs
was whispered into their little pink ears,
At last the day came, and Donald's big
brother went for George. He found the
little boy impatientIy waiting, so they re-
turned on the very next car.
Donald was standing by the corner, near
his home, watching for them, and when
they arrived he cried: Hello, George, l
am awfully glad to see you! Won't we
have jolly time''
Eyes" said George, slipping his brown
hand into Donald's with happy little
sigh; "I'm glad as / can be. See, I've
got lots of buckins on desc clothes"
Yes; see. Let's 60 right to mamma
first, and then Well play, George"
Up the long flight of stairs climbed the
four sturdy feet, and then they marched
straight to mamma's room.
'tOh, what a beautiful boyp she ex-
claimed. "Just see his pretty velvet suit
and his clean white blouse, all trimmed
with lace! Such lovely blue necktie, and
a sailor cap, too'
Eyes; my mudder buyed 'em for me
long time ago. lisped the child. so proud
and important that he could hardly speak.
Having admired him TO his hearts con-
tent, and even enough to satisfy sweet,
loving Donald, she sent the happy pair off
to play. And such a play as they had.
First they went to visit all the pets.
Doggie Rags" of course, was an old
friend, and he seemed TO know George
right away, for he jumped on the little
boy and licked his hands and face so hard
that George had to hide behind Donald to
get away from him, crying, ooh, he kithes
me too wetF'
Then GoIdie, the canary, was intro
duced, and brothers silver and gold fish
and the funny little kitten with coat as
black as Georgie's eyes.
oh, yes; there was the snail, too. But,
poor thing, when they opened its box they
found it dead. Donald felt so sorry, and
IN afraid he felt guilty, too, because he
had forgotten to give it 8 fresh leaf the
day before.
have never told you how he got that
pet snail, have I? Well, shall some day
pretty soon.
After the pets had all been seen the
boys took tho coaster and had such a
merry time riding down hill so fast that it
almost took away their breath.

By inviting Mother Goose to be present
bright boys and girls may enjoy most

diversion is not at all difficult, and pair
