Financiers Decline to Con-

Pipe Laborers.
WANT MORE
Reductions at BelleyiIle Not Sat-
isfactory-Wha Mr..
Harding Says.

The Board Of Finance has taken up the
fight again against the Street and Water
Commissioners relative to the expenditure
Of money from the water account. When
the Board met last night, one Of the
hrst presented from the Street
and Water Board was the August payroll
of the laborers employed in laying and
repairing pipe, a-ggregating s2,63l. 80.
PRESIDENT Brautigam examined the pay
roll carefully, turned it oyer to his col
leagues and remarked, Il want these pay
rolls, claims and everything else charge
able to the water account kept down.
The other members expressed themselves
in a lik manner, and. as a consequence a
resolution was passed directing Clerk
Finck to return the payroll to the Street
and Water Commissioners with instruc-
Eions not to present it for concurrence
again until a report accompanied it show
ing when and where the laborers worked.
how much they did. how much pipe was
laid, when and where, the dimensions of
the pipe, and all other which
would enable the Board to vote inteIli-
gently on the payroll. Some weeks ago
an agreement was entered into between
the boards that the expenses Of the Water
Department should be cut down.
Some men were removed from Belle
vile and High Service. but the Finance
Commissioners contend that in no other
respect have the Street n Water Com
missioners shown any disposition to re-
trench. The Street and Water Commits
sioners reply that they are operating as
economically as possible.
Commissioners Harding, who looks after.
the water department, said this morning:
Il have made reductions all along the
line. I have reduced the working force
as much as I can with safety, and In
all branches under my control l have
kept down the expenditures. I am will
ing to conduct my affairs on an econom-
ical basis. and if the Finance Commits
sioners insist upon a further reduction
of the working force / can make it.
They must bear the burden of complaints,
however, from taxpayers"
The members of the two boards are to
meet one day next week and talk over
affairs pertaining to the operation of the
water department.

CHOLERA on Ell BOSTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. T.. 1ss6.-Navy
Department officials express no apprehen-
sion whatever in regard to the isolated
case of cholera on the Boston, reported
from Shanghai. Michael Sullivan, the
victim, was simply a -coal-passer. Sulli-
van contracted the disease ashore, where
it is usually to be found in low quar-
ters- The sanitary condition of the ship
is excellent, and 1t is deemed impossible
for the plague to spread. All precau-
tons have been taken and the fact that
several days a elapsed since the re-
ported occurrence, without any new
cases developing deprives the occurrence
in the opinion of the Navy officials, of any
alarming significance.
