under arrest by Policeman Joyce Of the
Capitol force he stated his name to be
George Washington, and claimed that his
age is one thousand years.
George, or whatever the real name of
the afflicted individual may be, demanded

for teaching have been increased. The
members of Wimodaughsis say the demand
for practical training exists, and it is i'm
portant that it be supplied, as large field
for paying employment is open to the skill
ed workwoman. Plain sewing is not

BUSINESS ON TIE FIRE
Committee of the Whole on the Mayor
Message
Ways and Means to Pull the City Oat of Its
Plight-Arranging for the Com
ing Water Fight

The city council conyenes in adjourned
session this afternoon at o'clock for the
purpose of sitting as a committee of the
whole upon the mayors message.
The financial condition of the city is to
be thoroughly gone into, and some tangi-
BILE method of relief for the municipal
treasury will be agreed upon. The con-
sultiDg engineers who are to assist in the
coming water fight are also to b5 appoint
ed today. and the new school buildings will
come up for more or less discussion. They
should be completed and ready to be
turned over to the city. under the contract
made and provided. today.
just what ways and means are to be
adopted for the relief of the treasury can
not as yet be stated, ell of the members of
the council being as yet in the dark upon
the subject. The tax levy of last year pro-
vided for a total of $150,00O for the cash
fund and the serious problem now is how
can the deficiency be overcome. On Oc,o-
ber 81. 1890, Charles Nc cFarland, the city
attorney, rendered an official opinion. of
which the following iS part:
II cannot understand how the park fund
can be overdrawn $1,000, as the provisions
OF the constitution of the state and our
charter expressly forbid any such act.
Article 2, section IS of the constitution
provides: THAT no city, county, town.
ship. board of education or school district
shall incur any Indebtedness or liability in
any manner for any purpose exceeding in
any year its income and revenue provided
for in such year without q two-thirds vote
of the people, and that any Indebtedness
or liability incurred contrary to this pro-
vision shall be void
''This provision intended, as was said
by the supreme court of this state in 62
Cal, page GAL: That each years iudeb-
edness and liability must be paid out OF
tho income for the year and that no indebt-
edness or liability incurred in any one year
shall be paid out of the income on reve-
nue. of any future year.
"Our charter provides that the city audi
tor shall furnish in August of each year an
estimate of the money required to be
raised for different purposes for the COM
ing year. The city council then levies for
each particular purpose or fund the
amount necessary to be raised for that
fund; consequently there is no surplus
from which over-drafts upon other funds
can be paid.n
