THE BUDGET READY.
FINANCE COMMITTEE MAKES RE-
PORT TO COUNCIL TONIGHT.
THE BIDS OF ALL TOO HIGH.

Any Offer for Removal of Garbage
New warehouse-Mayor's Court
Two Coiorcd Women Sent TO Jury.

This evening, when the Manchester
Council convenes in its March meeting.
the Finance Committee will have a most
interesting report to make. which has
already been anticipated in these coll
umns-namely, budget of appropriations
10 the departments OF the city for the
present fiscal year.
IL has been the custom for many years
In Manchester for the treasury to meet
the demands of the departments without
limit being placed on these demands
at the beginning of the year. The Finance
Committee, Of which Mr.. W. w. Pool Is
the very able chairman, however, came
to the conclusion from a review of the
city's receipts and past expenditures that
the time for retrenchment had come, and
while no great reductions would be neces-
sary in any of the departments, and in
most none at all, the committee was con-
YinceG that an allotment Of appropria-
tons up to which the city would be ex-
pected to live would be much more busl-
nesslike and economical as well. After
careful review of the receipts and ex-
penditures for 1897 had been made, and
a conservative estimate of the receipts
for this year had been taken, the COM
mttee decided on a budget. and Captain
Pool. City-Auditor John w. Hall, and
the City-Treasurer were designated
committee to draft the report to be pre-
scented to the Council this evening. Below
is given in full the budget, not final, but
as il will pass from the Finance Commit
tee to the Coulcil. 1t may be stated.
h Hever. that 1t will in all likelihood be
adopted by the senior body without
any change whatever, and certainly not
material change. A comparative glance
at 1t. and the statement of expenditures
for 1897 will show that there is the pres
ent year a curtailment of 500 in appro-
priation to outside poor, an increase of
1000 TO street Improvement, and a small
curtailment in the Interest on city
bonds" appropriation. There is no other
change.

age, who is now in jail in the Crescent
City, awaiting trial on the charge of
entering and robblng the jewelry store

last. A photograph of the prisoner was
enclosed I'm the letter and Sergeant Tom
linson at once recognized the portrait as
a likeness of a well-known Richmond
boy.
In the letter the authorities state that
kelly" asserted that he "did not know
Aleck Tomlinson." The detective de-
clares that he has known the young man,
whose name is not kelly" ever since
the latter was mere boy; in fact, he
says he has known him all his life. He
left Richmond about five or six years
ago, and belongs to a good family here.
