THE NEW BUDGET.
The Departments win Get $4,000 More
Than Was Appropriated Last Year.

Monday night next the budget for the
present fiscal year. which was recently
completed by the Finance Committee viii
come up before the Common Council Tor
consideration. and while IL will, as usual,
occasion "a warm debate. there Is reason
10 believe that it will be passed without
material amendment The chairman or
the committee seems confident that the
revenues Of the city have been divided
in a manner that will give general salts
faction. although IT is reported that sew
eral charities will be cut or.
According 20 the estimate OF the RIM
ance Committee the revenues for this
year will amount probably to practically
the same sum az was received last year.
After the payment Of all hxed charges,
such as interest. redemption, &c, the
sum to be divided among the various de-
partments Is, I'm round numbers, about
10000. Last year, the Council was com
PEELED 10 set aside $4,000 for the sinking
fund, as provided by law which reduced
the amount 10 be given the departments
to SOS 600.
Il was necessary, therefore. to save
and economize in every way possible,
and the result was much complaint and
dissatisfaction. The Street and Health
Departments suffered severely. But lit
tie improvement could be made in the
thoroughfarcs and tho Health Depart
ment did not have sufficient funds 10
keep its men at work much more than
half OF the time. The result has been
that conditions have become very un-
pleasant indeed during the past few
months.
This year. however there will be a
great change for the better. No more
money VIII have to be paid the sinking
fund. and consequently the departments
will get the benefit OF the $1,000, which
will be a considerable item.
There Is possibility that the budget
may be held up by the opponents Of
water meters for which. Il IS understood.
$4,000 have been set aside. Some OF the
members OF the Council declare that they
will not vote for the budget If any money
Is appropriated for water meters. and no
amount OF argument will convince ana
convert them.
4 good many citizens are OF the same
way Of thinking. ard incline TO the Opn-
ION that # would be better just ut this
iuncture. as the water supply now Is
satisfactory. to put the $1,000 which il
is proposed 10 expend in that direction
on the streets instead
