CITY ESTINJAVES.

ITO THE HONORABLE COURT OF COM
 MON COUNCIL
 Ihe Board of Finance respectfully sub- mits herewith it's estimates of the moneys necessary to be appropriated for the eX- penses" of the "city and of the rate of tax alton required to meet the same" to Jan uary list, 1899, In accordance with the pro- visions of Section At of the charter
 Pursuant to Section 1l3, the Board has levied Tor school hoe purposes 2 tax upon all of 44a mills, It has laid tax, exclusive Of said school tax of 165a mills upon the polls and ratable estates within the limits Of' Wards 1-12 both inclusive (Section 4O) and tax of four mills upon the polls ana ratable estates within the limits of Wards 1915, both inclusive Consolidation Act Section 20y. The total rate recommended Hpon property bearing the full city tax is 2l mills.% The corresponding rate for tae last year was 22R mills. In ana the taxes levied as follows For For the city and town for the year ended No- Yembcr 80th, 1897. and for the school dis 1Iia fTicr for She year ended July Hath, 1897 financial year end December 31st It is therefore necessary this year to lay a tax and make approRrtations for many depart nmaents ments for the IS months from November 30fh, 1897, 10 January 1st, 1859.
 Ihe population and debt of New Haven nave have nearly nearly doubled since 1874, but the probably will show none until the re GSsessment now being made is completed The consolidation of the three governments sS tnis year will make the, actual financial Cchollloh or the community clear to many taxpayers for the first time. These facts and the economy which most of our people nave to practice at this time make 1t ad- YlSanle to take conservative course with public expenditure, and the Board there fore recommends lower tax than last year. It is estimated that the taxes above men toned, with the other sources of income stated below, will furnish $1619, 1251S with which to meet the expenses of the next 13 months Out of this, provision Is made for the payment of the citys floating debt, in cured in 1894, to the amount of $32, 336.S6 All other floating indebtedness of the old of $1S000 must be redeemed during the next year. Provision is also made for in terest payments, estimated at $166 003. 72 Gequiring about mills of the tax, which governments. Deducting the amount re- quired for debt and interest, there remains $1, ,402, 7S4.60 to meet the current expenses of all departments. The appropriations rec amounts asked for by the several depart ments, except in the case of the Registrar but 1t Is the opinion of the Board that, by careful and businesslike management, the efficiency of all departments can be fully maintained with the appropriations recom- mended.
 All of which is respectfully submitted

AN AVERTED TRAGEDY.

]. Willard Rabbit in New York sun.
IT'S early night The whistling winds
Possess the naked street,
Save here and there some shivering wight
Goes by with hurrying feet.
Through the binding snow and singing
sleet,
Dashed by the wintry storm,
In scanty dress, with face appraised,
Behold n female form!
Why stands she here on such n night?
Why brave the chilling frost
With hand outstretched and motionless,
Like a sentry at his post?
The passershy give her a look,
Nor note the upturned face
Whose finely chiseled beauty lines
Some proud mans home would grace
flash of light falls on her face,
So gentle and so kind.
Good heavens! Her eyeballs quick disclose
That the poor girl is blndl
A great throng from n neighboring church,
And all with face awry,
Close button their warm overcoats
And pour unheeding by.
She never wrongcd Il single soul;
Unsullied her fair fame
And yet among that Christian throng
Not one could call her name.
And now the parson comes along,
The last of that sleek band;
He has no thought for such as she,
Nor needs her outstretched hand.
So cold the night, so thiny clad,
Freezing without a moan,
Yet he Is no more moved than though
She were of wood or stone.
And still she stands with outstretched
hand
Her cold. mute lips are. dumb:
o, sightless girl, of speech bereft,
VIII succor never come?
VIII no one note thy pleading mute?
Is Christian kindness dead?
NOT dead! Not dead! sinful man,
Heaven bless the man of sin,
The clerk of the tobacco store,
Who comes and wheels her in.

several OF his young companions. were trans
ferred to the choir of Grace church. Here
Harry's health improved. his voice gained
sweetness and power and he found himself
one of the most famous boys in his country.
He is a sweet-faced, delicate looking lad
with large gray-blue eyes and short blonde
hair. He is small for his age and has par
tlcularly sweet. gentle manners though he
rides a bicycle and is devoted to dogs and
flowers.
Speaking of this his sister says; ut would
be hard to tell which he likes the most
music or flowers. He will spend all his
money on flowers and do all sorts of inn
prudent thirgs for the sake of his music.
One day during dreadful snow storm he
had a practice at the church. and it seemed
impossible to keep him at home. although
he had bad cold So we sent out for a

position from which there Is no escape with
out risking disaster.
For moment there arose in his fast-boat-
ing heart q heroic determination to cast all
caution to the winds, and cry out, 81 love
you my girl I love YOU | am poor, and
your father has forbidden me to see you"
but he feared a repulse from the girl more
fatal to his hopes than the check he had re-
celved from her father. He bent his gaze
upon the ground and curbed his irpatlence.
He realized that honesty had not been the
best policy when he had inopportunely con-
fesscd his affection for the girl to her father,
although he thought at the time he had taken
a manly and straightforward course. Had
he been less impulsive, and tried to win
still further the confidence OF Sartwell, he
might perhaps have ultimately gained a
footing in his chiefs house, and then who
knows what might have happened! He had
drawn upon the bank OF confidence, and his
check had been dighonored; he could not
risk a second mistake OF that kind.
II don't like your word managed" said
Edna at last, little wrinkle Of dsDleasure
on her fair brow. Your visits here 10 not

other friend Of my father comes, and we

founded by seeing Sartwell enter stride up
the path leading to the house, stop, turn his
head toward the spot where they sat, then
cross the lawn directly to them, Marsten
sprang to his feet; the girl arose more
slowly. a rogush twinkle in her eye, Here
was the solution of the problem right to her
hand, at precisely the proper moment The
expression of the three faces would have
interested a student of physiognomy. An
ger, delight, confusion were reelected from
the countenances of Sartwell, Edna and
Marsten. respectively, but the elder man
was the first to control his emotion, and, ac
he approached his face became an impas-
slve mask. revealing nothing of the passion
within. He cast a brief quick glance at
Marsten who stood there pale, in the atti-
tude of one who has been trapped, and who
sees no avenue of escape. A lorger, more
searching look at his daughter showed him
at once that she had nothing to conceal.
Her evident undisguised pleasure at his COM
ing was too palpable to be misunderstood.
He drew deep breath of relief, but recog-
