Nearly all the estimates of ex-
penses for the various depart
ments of the city government
have been received by City Com
troller Robinson. In the main they
correspond with the appropriations of
last year, but in several instances, in
creased allowances are asked for.
This is particularly the case in the
fire and police departments. In the
former, as previously stated in The
Tribune. two estimates are made, one
looking to what Is virtually a paid de-
partment, the other continuing the
present arrangement with about doz-
en- additional permanent men.
The police department will ask for
fifteen new men for the force, another
detective, an extra sergeant and thir-
teen patrolmen. A $4,000 appropriation
will be asked for a new station house
in Providence. and Chief of Police Cur
rell says he will insist on this being
allowed
TO GET AN EXTRA MAN.
City Engineer Phillips will ask for
the same allowance as last year, but
will suggest certain changes in the
makeup of his staff which will give
him an extra man. His plan contem-
plates the abandonment of the office
of first assistant city engineer which
has been made vacant by the perma-
nent disability of L. Is. Sherwood. The
salary with little augmentation from
incidental appropriations, will permit
Of hiring two men for the chain or
stake gang.
city Clerk LaNelle, who a few years
ago brought the dime museum mag
mates down upon him IN droves by re-
fusing to entertain a proposition to in
crease his salary, will startle the esti-
mates committee this year by asking
to have $1OD cut off the usual allow
ance for running his department. He
iinds that he can get along with 800
for incidentals. for which 5000 was al
lowed last year.
The board OF tax revision and an
peals will ask for $500 extra for new
maps. Street Commissioner OBoyIe
Will suggest an additional allowance of
$4,000 for crushed stone, it being his
intention to use stone instead of dirt
in making repairs to roads in the sub
urban wards. The board of health will
''iN ''A PO'-V' W pay lOT tle CTeIna-
tory lot, which at present is costing a
snug sum each year in interest. An
increase of $500 in the secrctarY's SAL
airy will also be asked for.
WILL BE THE SAME.
The mayors, city treasurer's, build
ing inspectors, assessors, controllers
and city solicitors departments will
ask for the same allowance that was
granted last year. The public library
and park commissions demands are
yet to be announced.
The revenue this year will be only
about $4,000 more than last year. 1t is
expected that it would be largely in
creased but the action or the court in
largely reducing so many of the big
assessments has voided the assessors
good intentions.

gun an action to recover damages from

pany for the death of her husband
William Eustlce, who was killed one
night last October while crossing the

The contention of the defense is that

that on the night Of the accident the
gates were up and the crossing un-
guarded. on account of cars standing
on the southbound track on both sides
of the crossing view of the north

IT HOULD E4KE DCLUTH.

Realty men, says the Herald,
are strongly of the opinion that
the people of Duluth should wake
up and make some effort to offer
inducements for the proposed
steel plapt of H. c.. Prick and
John D. Rockefeller. These two
capitalists are reported to have
combined to establish a nam
moth steel industry in opposition
to the Carnegie interests. The
press dispatches announce that
four plants costing not less than
$40, 600, 900 will be built by the
new concern. and that one Of the
plants will be located in either
Duluth or West Superior. This
plant would cost fully So, 500. 900
and would include a blast fur
mace with capacity of $50 tons
a day. It is understood that the
Superior Commercial Club is
about to take steps to secure the
big industry for Superior just as
soon as either Mr.. Frick or Mr..
Carnegie will confirm the report,
and the local real estate men say
it might be we'll for Duluth to
stir itself.

=: Twelve Million 49,
=! Tons Sold.

Tho consumers of iron ore have
arranged for about two thirds of
their requirements for next sea-
son, says the News. Tribune. The
sales for next seasons delivery
have therefore been very heavy,
probably 10000, 900 tons. 1t is
the first time in a great many
years, if ever, that the bulk Of
the ore for delivery during any
one season was sold during the
preceding year. The fixing of
vessel rates this fall for next sea.
son has materially assisted the
business of ore selling for next
years delivery. III past years
the ore producers and consum-
ers have usually held off, spar.
ring for points, as it were, until
. few weeks before the opening
OF navigation before they would
get down to business. The pros.
poets of big season in 1900 and
the fixing of the ore rate for the
coming year so far in advance of
the opening of navigation has
greatly simplifed the situation.
The ore producers and consum-
ers are in good spirits. There
is profit in the business for both
and the volume will be limited
Only by the facilities for turning
the ore into products. In many
cases the mills have orders
ahead which will keep them bus.
lily employed for the next year.
Everything indicates a continu>
ance of the present prosperous
conditions in the iron and steel
industry for an indefinite period.
one OF the features of the ore
sales this season is the lessening
OF the spread in prices between
Mesa ba and cid range ores. The
difference is considerably less
this year and the fact is regard
ed by ore producers as q taclt
admission on the part of the con.
sumers that certain Mesaba ores
are viewed with growing favor
and are considered more desira-
bic than heretofore. It is sup
posed to mean that furnacem en-
expect to use a greater percent
age Of Mesaba ores when they
are willing to pay greater price
for them than in the past. as
compared with the old ores.
