RETRENCHMENT TALK
It Hss Been Revived Among the
Various Citv Emploves

Talk Of retrenchment in municipal ex-
penses has been again revived about the
city hall. Several weeks ago it was
stated in The Herald that the special
committee of the council, appointed for
the purpose of going over the list of city
employees and reducing the number and
cutting down the pay wherever practic-
able, had, after numerous meetings,
agreed to disagree, and nothing has
been heard of the matter since. The
specific rock on which the committee
metaphorically went to pieces was on
the question of the wages paid day labor
ers. One section thought that the rate
fixed by ordinance, 81 per day, should be
cut to $780, in view of the straitened
condition of the city's finances, but the
other side-which. by the way, was in
the minorlty-thonght differently, and
as the majority did not wish to let the
minority make any capital at their ex-
pense, and they were unable to come to
any agreement, they got out of the diff
ficulty by allowing the whole matter to
lapse. In the meantime the expenses
have continued at the old rate, and the
council finds itself confronted with a
very serious problem. The city is now
$4b, 900 behind. by comparison with last
year, and the necessity for curtailment,
in order to keep within the levy for the
fiscal year. is imperative. An informal
conference of the councilmen was held
a day or two ago, for the purpose Of
talking over the situation and devising
some means of relief. No definite agree
ment was reached. but all agreed that
something would have to be done. It was
reported yesterday that a general cut
would be made in the salary of every
employe whose compensation Was not
fixed BY the charter. and In consequence
there was much talk among those who
are affected. 1t is stated that the matter
will now be pushed to a conclusion as
soon as possible in order to end the
agony and allow the employees to get
down to business

HEALTH BOARD TANGLE
The First Step Toward Straighten-
ing It Out To-Day.

A crisis will be reached in the board
of health complication today. when the
finance committee of the council will
have before it the salary demands of the
two sets of sanitary inspectors for the
coming month. The members of the
finance committee say that the de-
mands of the boards appointees will be
approved up to March IL, although the
inspectors have worked the entire
month. The councils inspectors will be
paid for their time after March IL, al
though they have done no work. The
mayor will not sign the demands of the
councils appointees. and that body will
simply pass them over his objection. Tine
boards inspectors will then have to in
stitute mandamus proceedings to COM
pei the committee to audit their de-
mands By this means the question will
get into court and the legality of the
councils action will be determined

THAT WATER REPORT
It Will Not Be Made Public for Some
Davs

1t was ascertained yesterday that City
Engineer Dockweiler's report on the
plans and specifications for new water
system to be constructed by the city
would not be ready to file with the water
supply committee of the council before
Tuesday next. The report will be scale 1
up by Mr.. Dockweiler and turned over to
the chairman of the committee, who will
file the same with the city clerk. 1t will
then be locked up until after the COM
mittee has had a conference with the
officers of the water company and Sc
cured a proposition from them for the
purchase of their plant. When this is
done the proposition, with the report
of the committee will be presented 10
the council and both documents will
be made public. Even the members of
the committee will not know the details
of Mr. Dockweiler's report until after
the conference with the water company
peoDle.

The City Census

The special committee of the board of
education on the school census has ad-
dressed a communication to the council
making the following suggestions as to
a Joint census: That the field work OF
the full census. including the school
census, be taken under the direction cf
the school marshal and deputies ap-
pointed by the board Of education. That
the expenses Of all field work are to be
borne equally by the council and board
of education. That all field notes Of
the general census are to be turned over
each day to the city clerk
Inasmuch as the meeting of the two
committees failed to agree It is hardly
likely that this communication will be
regarded

Live Stock at Fairs.

A noticeable feature OF our smaller
fairs is the great absence OF our live
stock. The show of vegetables is
good The fruit is also good in many
places. There is usually fair show
of grains, but the show of live stock
is lacking in so many instances. Some
times there is very good show of
dairy stock, but the beef classes and
the sheep classes are sadly wanting.
Farmers, this is not as it ought to be.
Depend upon it, the prosperity OF
this country in the future depend
largely on the attention that will be
given to the growing of live stock.
Directors of fairs should lay this
matter to heart. Whatever is want
ing at the fair, see to that live stock
is there. Make that feature of the
fair. A good showing of stock cannot
fail to arrest the attention of the peo.
pie and, when it is thus evidenced
that stock is becoming popular, PEG.
pie will want to be in the line. And
people who have should bring them
out though the prizes should be low.
Patriotism should lead them to do
80. What finer sight can we have at
4 fair than long line of stalls filled
with stock1 What more convincing
evidence can we have of prosperity

K lE[ ]. MILK
4SWEEY,
BY Taking Good Care of 1t
With Very Little Extra Labor.

During the hot weather it is some
times found difficult to deliver milk
to the creamery in sweet condition.
A number of notations are made of
complaints from different sections of
the State. So far Manager Murphy,
of the Creamery here has been OBJ
liged to return the milk in but a very
few cases. To insure satisfaction.
which is necessary to the success of
a good creamery, patrons are being
cautioned to exercise a good deal of
care with their milk. The following
is taken from the Litchfield Indepen-
dent. It has been proved valuable
to some and may be interesting to
some of our readers. There are three
or four points to be observed, and if
they are followed out there will be
but little danger OF milk souring bet.
ween Saturday. evening and Monday
morning. They are as follows: :
First Pals, case and strainers
must not only be clean, but they must
be made sweet by thorough scalding
in boiling water and putting out to
get the sun and air.
Second-The cans must be put in
cold water and water kept cold all
the time. The tank must be deep
enough 50 that the water stands as
high or higher on the outside of the
cans than the milk inside. 1t will not
do to have can full of milk stand in
shallow tank with the water coming
only half way up the outside of the
can. The tank must be thoroughly
shaded from the sun. .~
In addition to these two principal
points, it is beneficial to stir the milk
while cooling. It would also be adj.
vantageous to only half fill the cans
when milking, + and pour togethe,
after cooling. The object of this is
to allow it to cool more rapidly. In
hauling to the creamery cans should
be covered SO as to keep the hot
sun off. Those who have ice will Of
course find but little trouble to keer
