This levy will cause the various funds
to receive from taxes

IDtdt S5U4,LS0 w
Consideration of the estimates fur
nished by the departments will show
that the Directors OF the Free Library
deem the sum of $12,035 necessary to
enable them to conduct the library in a
fitting manner during the year 1898.
While recognizing the fact that the in
stttutfon is now very much cramped
for means, because of the last levy hav-
ing been insufficient, we cannot find the
way in this levy to give more than
cents, which will bring in about $4,000.
The Board of Education calls for
$13,545, because of additional teachers,
rent, etc. The S15 cents we have given
will about meet the requirement
Chief Engineer Guthrie calls for $780,
600 for general Fire Department pur-
poses, and renews his urgent request
for an additional $1,000 for purchasing
and equipping a chemical engine. We
have provided for the first mentioned
amount only. A levy of 3112 cents more
viii be required for the chemical en-
gine if it is deemed necessary.
In order to retain the tax levy at
the same rate as last year. 81 80, we
have omitted the amount necessary to
pay the interest on street bonds, pro-
viding only for the taking up of one
$1,000 bond. which should be done
Presuming that the city has a sufff-
cient number Of sprinkhng wagons, we
have cut down the levy for the sprink-
ling fund 1 cent.
The levy for sewer fund purposes is
scant, and does not take into account
any new work. If the board orders
the continuation of the Thirteenth
street sewer the cost will either have
to be paid out Of the general fund, or
the levy for sewer purposes increased.
The tax roll for 1878 is ST., ,S53, $50,
an increase Of $229, 200, and a levy of
one cent may be considered as equal
to 81. .5S5.
The sinking and interest fund will
receive during the year 1898 about
$54,594 from water rates; S27, ,26S. from
licenses; $S.S53 from harbor dues: So
100 from Police Court fines, making the
total receipts about Sill 800.
The general fund will receive during
the year 1898 about $4,000 from water
rates and taps; $23. 800 from licenses
SlGO from harbor dues: LOO from
Police Court fines; s., 500 from Justices
fees, making the total receipts about
$143, $50.
The various funds will be called upon
to pay salaries in the following
amounts:

the Manitowoc banker convicted April
8. 1896. on a charge Of receiving deposits
when his bank was insolvent, will spend
four months in the Winnebago county
jail as penalty. The sentence pro-
nounced by Judge Burnell afforded the
alternative Of paying a fine Of s., 2,000,
together with the costs Of the prosecu-
tion. amounting in all to 50. 900, or sery-
ing four months in Jail. Shove could
not raise the money and has gone to
Jail. Before pronouncing sentence the
court exonerated Shove from any dis
honest act in connection with the fail
ure Of the bank. His crime. the Judge
said. was wholly technical and an er-
ror OF judgment in lending bank funds
When the court ordered Shove to stand
up and asked him II he had anything to
say the old man came slowly forward
to the rail. He paused and pressed his
hand to his brow. He tried to speak
ana could not. He motioned to his
throat, and Goldberg, his attorney,

speak no more. and the court pro-

he would do himself harm, held his

in Their scheme, for Certain Coed Rsa-
sons-Chicago's Luetgert Case.
New York, May a1.-Nineteen year,
ago the country was startled by the re-
port OF the biggest bank burglary
known in the history Of the world. It
occurred Sunday, Oct. q. 1873. The Man
haitian Savings institution of this city
was robbed Of securities valued at ST.
TATTOO and s11.0 900 in cash. With the ex-
ceprfon os few bonds offered for sale
some time ago none of the securities
has been recovered. It was believed
that they had been buried or destroyed.
That the securities are still in existence
Is known here. A short time ago ne
EQUATIONS were opened between men
said to represent the burglars and Pres
lcent Joseph Bird, of the Manhattan
savings Institution, for their return.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Is Too Much.
The burglars have made a demand
Tor $4,000 and no questions to be asked.
with the understanding that the securi-
ties are to be handed over in good
shape and that immediately upon their
delivery the money shall be paid in
cash. President Bird, who at the time
OF the robbery was paying teller of the
Manhattan Savings Institution, said
yesterday that $4,000 had been asked
Tor the return Of the bonds, and all
though the bank officials would like to
get them back he declared they would
not pay that amount. Continuing, Bird
said: Many Of the securities are worth
less today I should say, since the gov
ernment came to our assistance some
time ago by an act Of congress author
izing the secretary Of the treasury to
reissue duplicates in place Of the
stolen United States bonds
Bonds He Would Like to Have.
There was number of other bonds
issued by cities and corporations, how
ever. Some of these are due soon, and
OF course We would like to have the
originals. as 1t would make it easier for
us to collect the moneys involved. I
refer particularly to the Yonkers city
per cent. coupon bonds. There were
$llS,OOO Yonkers bonds stolen, and out
OF that amount We have recovered $685..
GOO. which leaves $4,000 due"
Men Who Committed the Crime,
Bird stated that he believed the offer
to be made in good faith. and that the
case has been placed in the hands Of the
banks counsel. Those who participated
in, or were connected with, the robbery
were Jimmy Hope. John Hope. Patrick
Shevelin Uhe watchman of the bank),
William Kelly, Peter (alias Banjo
Pete'). John Nugent "a policeman), Ed
die Golding (alias Eddie" Goodie),
John Tracy and Johnny Dobbs OF these
Jimmy and John Hope are living in
this city. The others are all either dead
or in prison.
