submitted by the committee OH fina noe.
1t Is proposed TO make the tax $l7 OH each
1900. ihe memters OF the committee are
prepared 80 furnish reasons why tie rate
should be Increased. There is every
probability that the ordinance will be Bit
teriy antagonized by some OF the Com
mon Council. AS shown oy the recent re-
rort the estimated expenditures for the

To $3, 75e, 800. 81. 1he estimated receipts

S2j, 0J0 more than the previous comm ittee

by taxation for the present fiscal year was
s., 81, 700.92, on valuation OF STA, 0s2, $50
at the rate of $3.50 in eacn $1,000. AS
sumIng that the taxable properly this year

Company Is and Company Z, First ReR-

weak. the first named company going to
the Westmip ster street recruiting station,
while the latter will go to North Main
street. In the Second Regiment there is
q great deal OF feeling, some OF the su-
perior officers claiming that the regiment
mas been misrapresented, kicked and gen.
orally abused, In spite Of the fact that it
stands quite ready to 60 into active SER
vice. The men, however, do not wish to
60 out without their own oificers, and uu-
der the Law this Is impossible.
1t is hoped, however, that some of the
men of the second ReRiment will enlist
individually. for there Is no doubt that
there are many good men in the ranks,
and Col. Moran said this morning, that
any man who desired 10 enlist Was ut PER-
feet liberty 70 do SO. There is much feel
ing over the proposed disbandment OF
