THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


This evening tho council committee on
finance meets for the purpose OF COM
plctlng. II possible, the annual appro-
priatlon ordinance, but II Is not likely
that tho committee Will have found Its
work completed at two sessions. TO
start with, the appropriation for the no.
lice committee cannot be fixed because
the committee has not yet passed on
the estimate for the workhouse depart
ment. which, by the way. may be eliml-
mated.
When the committee faced Its task
last Monday the fire department want
ed Ave additional chemicals. and the
police committee had Its lines out for
six additional officers. The first session
Showed 1t TO be impossible to grant the
fire departments wishes either In part
or entirety, and 1t Is doubtful II the
committee can find Its way clear to the
two extra police otiicres that the chief
is now pulling for. There Is no doubt
OF the need OF two additional men In the
business district, but the problem OF
bringing appropriations within the rev
enue limit without any improvements
or additions In either Of the depart
ments mentioned Is such Il difficult oJe
that both will be lucky to secure the
figures named last Monday, s3l,5O0 for
the fire department. and 1000 for the
police department exclusive OF the city
prison branch. Even then there vas n
deficit of over $1,000 between the esti-
mated ven and the appropriations
that were put down subject to reduction
at the wlnd.up.
