SAYS 1T NEEDS ALL 1T ASKS,
County Auditor Thinks the Board of
Control Asks Too Much,

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday Afternoon to further con-
slider the estimate of expenses for the
year 1898, submitted by the county au-
ditor. The Afternoon was wholly de-
voted to the consideration of the ap-
plication of the board of control to
be allowed the sum of $44, 900 to main
tain its department. Mesrs. Kerwin
and Judson, of the board, and Secre-
tary Tong were on hand to urge the
allowance of the sum named, as against
the recommendation of County Auditor
Sullivan that only $4,000 be appro-
priated for the board of control.
The county auditor in view of the
necessity for economy, maintained
that the board of control can take care
of the city hospital, alrnshouse and the
outdoor poor with an allowance Of $4O,-
600 as the county's two-thirds share
of the expense, the city contributing
the remaining one-third The county
auditor called attention to the annual
revenue that will be received from the
private patients at the city hospital,
which, 1t is estimated, will be in the
neighborhod of $4,000
On the other hand, the members Of
the board of control and the secretary
expressed the opinion that the depart
ment would need all it asked from the
county. Among some additional items
or expense necessary to be incurred
during the coming year, Secretary
Tong referred to the new boiler need
ed at the almShouse.
After some general discussion, which
did not result in any decision or
agreement on the part of the COM
missioners, the board adjourned until
80 p. m. today, when the matter will
doubtless be disposed Of

FAVOR MACADAM ROADWAY.
Hill and Washington Streets to BE
So Improved,

The board of public works yesterday
listened to the property owners in the
matter of repaVing Hill and Washing
ton streets, from Third to Eagle
streets. AT a previous hearing it had
agreed that the property owners would
stand an assessment for the tearing
out of the wooden blocks and the fill
ing of the roadway with cinders Yes
terday the city engineer reported that
the making of a cinder roadway would
be throwing money away. Mr. Rund-
lett submitted an estimate for the lay
ing of a macadam roadway on the
streets with brick cutters. The cost
would be $2.15 per front foot, while the
cost of paving with sandstone would
be $3.50, with brick $3.50, and with gran
lite $645 per front foot. The property
owners were satisfied to stand the 81 IS
per front foot assessment for a macad-
amized roadway, SO a final order for
such will be returned to the council
The repaving of Market street, between
Third and Sixth streets, will not be
ordered this year. Capt. Berkey and
George Benz admitted that the street
was in bad shape, but thought about
500 would fix it up so as to last until
next sprnig. The property owners
agreed there would be no objection to
the street being repaired next year.
Under the circumstances the board will
report adversely as to the paving this
year.

Mayor Wants Comptroller to Make
Sure There Is Nothing Mislead-

For an hour yesterday afternoon
Mayor Doran considered and digest
ed the budget which was forwarded
to him by the board of school inspec-
tors. The publication in the G. o
yesterday, of the Letter written by
President Zimmerman, and which &C
companied the budget, was not at all
relished by his honor The statement
made by President Zimmerman that
misleading statements had been given
out regarding the finances of the board.
seemed to annoy both the mayor and
Comptroller McCardy, and yesterday
afternoon both these officials were
cloSeted together an hour and the fig
ures in the budget carefully gone over.
Mayor Doran said after the confer
ence that he was not prepared. as vet.
to give out the report, and possibly it
would not be open to inspection until
1t was sent to the council which. under
the charter, must be within ten DAYS
after its receipt by the mayor There
is, however, nothing more to give out
except his recommendation in the mat
ter.
Comptroller McCardy was in his
usual communicative mood, but did
venture to assert that the man who
stated that misleading figures had been
given out regarding the finances of
the school board, could not prove the
statement.
1t is understood that the mayor re-
quested the comptroller to assist him
in "digesting" the budget yesterday, in
order that he might be posted as to the
estimated amount which would be
available for school purposes during
the coming school year. This amount.
the comptroller has publicly given out,
will not exceed $4O9, 900, which includes
the $4,000 set apart for buildings and
sites by the council in January. If the
mayor can be assured by the comp
troller that the sum available will not
exceed 100000, and that this statement
is not misleading too, the council will
be directed by the chief executive to
reduce the total amount asked for in
the budget so as to make the eXpen-
ditures for all school purposes come
within this amount. If the council fol-
lows the suggestion and recommends
ton of the mayor in this regard, the
school board will be obliged to make a
reduction of some $4,000, more than ar
ranged for when the budget was pre-
pared.

effect that the local associations of Credit

AXED ANDY CALL IN.
Modern WOOdmen Initiate the Big
Policeman.


Officer ANDY" Call is bound to .be-
come famous in spite of himself. Last
night he was indicted with all the
pomp and ceremony into Liberty Camp
1904, Modern Woodmen of America, and
today he will be given an opportunity
to tell his many friends just how it
all happened. 1t appears that some
time ago Officer Call was engaged in
the occupation of telling large speci-
mems of white pine in the FIambeau
country of Wisconsin. His fame as a
fel1er of big uns" soon spread abroad,
and he delights to tell of the incidents
which are connected with his having
received from the surveyor general of
the Badger state formal certificate
as to the number and size of the trees
which have fallen at his mighty stroke.
The members of Liberty Camp 1904,
got wind of this, and last night, at one
of the most successful meetings they
have ever held, the genial officer was
made a Woodman.
The sensational features, which are
said to have occurred over his initiation
can best be related by Andy himself,
if he has recovered his equilibrium by
today.
The camp of which he is now a
member is planning for a big stag So
cial for the evening of July %, to which
all WOodmen are invited.

was to maintain it's tracks, be not more
than per cent. This, he said, would
allow the company to operate its cars
under roof or cover to the viaduct
and keep the snow and ice out of the
cut. A. q
Aid. Sanborn called attention to the
fact that the ordinance allowed the
company to make the grade anything
less than per cent one, and there
was really no need of the change In
the ordinance being made. There was
no particular objection, however. to
the amendment and 1t was made.
PRESIDENT Bigelow announced that the
rules WouldH Der suspended and the
ordinance placed, on it's final passage.
He asked if there was any one present
VINO desired to be heard, and Col. r.
M. Newport, the owner of property at
summit and.ISelbgl avenue, stated that
ne had objections to the passage of the
ordinance.
Col. Newport said he was opposed
to the proposition There would be
some expense accuuing on account of
damages. Under, the ordinance the
city was going to assist the company

nue. hill. The times were such that
the greatest consideration should be
shown the railway company. Mr..
Lowry had publicly stated that he had
no money. The city had been very
generous to the company. The in
terest and right of the people at this
time should be protected. The COM
pany could save money by changing
the cable line to an electric. The city
having given the company franchise
valued at $1,000,000 and amy further
gift would be repugnant to the people.
The company had chosen Selby avenue

made should come from the company's
pocket and not from the people. A
cCunter-Weight system could be put in
and should be insisted upon. The pro-
posed cut would spoil the street be-
tween Summit and Nina avenues. The
damages would be heavy. The COM
pany refused to put in the counter
weight because it would create an ex-
pense to operate it. He did not be-
IeVe the cut would be made but the
council was about to pass an ordi-
nance which would spoil the street
from Summit to Nina avenues. He
questioned if the city had not given
the street railway cmpany enough
without adding this gift. 1t was I'M
necessary destruction of a public
street here would be no benefits to
the property by reason Of the via
duct and the damages to the property
would be large and heavy. He was
in doubt as to whether the provision
OF the ordiharce providing that the
city should he held harmless from all
damages by the company would be
binding when it was a fact that the

and damages for the change of grade.
The argument made by Col. Newport
apparently had but little weight with
the aldermen, for at the conclusion Of
his talk the rules were suspended and
all of the ten members present voted
for the passa ge- of the measure.

BOARD PASSES IT.
Omnibus Street Railway Ordinance
Gees Through Under Protest.

The ordinance prepared by the spe-
cial committee from the board of aid
ermen, which is expected to settle the
difference existing between the city and
the street railway company, was pass
ed yesterday afternoon by the board
The provisions of the ordinance were
outlined in the G | o b yesterday. and
should it be accepted by the company,
will settle, for a term at least the dis
custom regarding the Selby avenue line,
the Broadway and union depot loops.
The ordinance having been read by
the clerk, Aid. Kaldunski offered an
amendment, providing for the construc-
ton of a cross town line from Grand
avenue to Front street on Dale street.
This line, he said, was a public neces-
sity, and as the city was about to
reach an agreement with the company
a provision should be made for it's con-
struction, and operation should be in
corporated. President Bigelow was in
doubt as to whether the amendment
offered was in proper form. Put to
a vote the amendment for a cross town
line was defeated by a vote of to 8,
those favoring its Incorporation in the
ordinance being Aldermen Bell, Kali
dunski and Larson.
Aid Shepard then handed up an
amendment providing that the grade
