CITY COUNCIL.

a called meeting OF the city council Will
be held tomorrow night for he purpose of
agreeing upon budget for the ensuing
fiscal year At recent meeting Mayor
Fly appointed the entire councl n COM
mlttee to prepare the budget, no doubt be-
lieving that what they agreed to while
acting as a committee would pass without
trouble while sitting in an aldarinanlc CT
pacity. But there are breakers ahead.
Several meetings of the committee we're
held and a budget finally agreed uron.
which by reducing salaries kept the OK
penditures within the revenues. Last
night the committee met for the last time
and that was when all the trouble o.
Cured They revoked their formc: acton
and adopted budget that restored fl-
aries to where they were before This was
not done without hard fight, however, ard
the minority, led by Alderman Goggan,
made open threats that II should never
pass the council, where it requlies more
than a majority vote.
The city is in no condition 10 stand an
other bond issue and with internal strife
in the council the outlook is anything ut
pleasant. The citizens have enioirei a
contemplated issue of sewerage bouIs and
for the council to attempt to puf 0ct an
issue of funding bonds would no cCubt
raise a large sized howl of discomfort.
