EXTRA PAY ORDINANCE.
1t Is Amended and Passed by the
Council.

The City Council held a quiet and short
special session last night. primarily 10 take
the first step toward turning over to the
new park board all park funds now subject
to the order of Council. Two other matters
crept in, however, and were disposed of
without any debate.
The request of NJ OConnor & Co. for
permission TO put in a switch and side track
across Missouri street, to connect their es-
tablishment with the tracks OF the Big
Four Railroad was referred to the commit
tee on franchises.
Mr.. Little's ordinance fixing the extra
pay to be allowed to policemen and fire.
men brought out Mr. Little as the spokes-
man for the mayor for the first time The
mayor vetoed the ordinance few days ago
on account Of his fear that the city would
become involved in difficulties through ar
ranging for the payment of salaries for
which no appropriation had been made. Inc
original ordinance provided for the payment
OF 20 cents an hour to both policemen and
firemen for all over time put In by them,
and provided that such of them as fell i'll
or were injured in the discharge Of their
duties should be paid their regular salaries
for q period not longer than sixty days
after the injury or during the sickness.
President Mahoney suggested that the
Council should vote TO reconsider its form
er vote on the ordinance IN order to amend
it to meet the objections of the mayor. This
Deing QOne MT. Little OHerea the amend
ment with the statement that he and the
mayor had talked it over and had mutually
agreed to it. Ii provides that instead Of
limiting the number of days during which
a policeman or fireman may receive benefits
for sickness or accident to sixty, II gives
the Board Of Safety complete discretion as
to how long they shall receive salaries
while incapacitated from work. 1t allows
each fireman one holiday each week with
full pay and in allowing policemen extra
pay for extra duty, specifies that fund
shall be created from which the money
further provides that bicycle patrolmen
shall have their wheels furnished them by
the city.
Mr.. Bowser wished to have the ordinance
with the amendment referred TO the COM
mittee which originally had Ii In charge,
but Mr.. Little objected for the reason that
the thirty days during which the ordinance
must be passed would expire before the
committee could make a report anc the or
dinance would thus be killed. The
amended ordinance was finally passed with
out a dissenting vote.
The formal ordinance for the transfer of
the park funds to the new Park Board
was read and without taking any further
action the Council adjourned.
The amounts called for by the ordinance
are distributed in the different funds as fol-
lows: Office. $o.515.S2;' old parks, mainte-
nance. SIS. S53.1S; Improvement s., $3.50; new
parks, maintenance, $l,220; improvement,
$5S.O44.90. Balance derived from the sale Of
park bonds previously issued by the city,
labor Including the expense OF the bond
issue), SO 356.31; purchase CT lands. sl3eS9. &c.

not have the consent of their parents.
Those accepted were assigned to the in
fantry and artillery regiments In the Philip

Albert p. Gerard, Walter III. Miller, Ar
thur Chappel. Warren Faust. BENJAMIN b.

Kankakee River Improvement.

Governor Mount has been greatly an
noyed by questions as to the method TO be
followed and the time when the disburse-
ment of money will be made for the i'm
provement of Kankakee river under the pro-
visions OF the bill introduced by Mr.. Knots.
The bill did not contain an emergency
clause and will not take effect until the
general proclamation is issued. 1t will take
some time after the bill goes into effect
to ascertain what proportion OF the money
now In the treasury from the sale Of swamp
lands came from those lands situated In the
Kanka<ee valley, and the cost Of this inves-
tigation has not yet been aScertained. Gov
ernor Mount authorizes the statement that
he will not even consider the matter until
the law goes into effect, and il will probably
be some time after that date before he will
be ready to act.
The Governor is not only troubled by mail
but by personal applications for Informal
ton regarding the matter, and If any action
at all is taken under the provisions of the
bill it will be some weeks yet before 1t is
announced.

FIRST APPRAISERS APPOINTED.
They Will Act on improvements I'm
der the New Law.

They Will Act on improvements In
der the New Law.
The Board OF Works has performed its
first task under the new law which restricts
the assessments for street improvements to
. per cent. Of the value of the abutting
property and provides for the appointment
of appraisers for all such Improvements.
The provisions of the law have already been
published on several occasions and the only
point left to the discretion of the board is
that of fixing the compensation of the ap-
praisers The law does not touch on that
feature and the board yesterday morning
fixed the compensation at S. for all i'm
provements of two blocks in length and less
and $40 fo- all larger ones.
There IL a possibility. under the law, of
the appraisers having to wait for ten years
for their full pay, providing the property
owners take advantage of the Barrett law.
The board appointed Fred A. Gregory, Will
liam F. Moore and William II. Schmitts as
appraisers for a large batch of improve
ments. The following street improvements
will be the subject OF the first appraisements
under the law:
First alley north of St Clair street, from
New Jersey street to East street.
First alley north of Tenth street, from
Tecumseh street to Hamilton avenue.
First alley south of Hoyt avenue, from
Olive street to Laurel street
First alley west Of Illinois street, from
Fifteenth street TO Sixteenth street.

rill street.

PRODDlNG DOG OWNERS.
Prosecutor Will Act If the Tax Is Not
Paid Immedia teIy.

County Assessor Boswell had talk yes
terday with Prosecuting Attorney Pugh in
relation to the collection of dog tax. 1t is
said that in Center township there are sew
en- hundred people who have not paid their
dog tax for 1885, and many of the delin-
quents have declared they do not propose to
pay. In Wayne township there are about
fifty owners of dogs in arrears. In all of the
other townships the dog tax for 1898 has
been pretty well cleaned up.
The county assessor is in favor Of prose-
cutting all those who have not paid. He
agrees with Mr.. Pugh that these prosecu-
tons will probably work much hardship
among poor people. Under the law the
prosecutor is entitled to a fee of S. in each
case. The prosecutor Is not inclined to be-
gin these prosecutions without giving de-
linquents another chance to pay up. Asses
sor Boswell suggested that the prosecutor
send out notices 10 all delinquents inform
ing them if they do not pay up they will be
prosecuted at once. This will probably be
done.

In connection with the gift of Fairview
Park and the Shelby-street barns to the
city the company will be asked to put the
barn in COED condition for use as a market
house and also run enough cars at all times
to accommodate the traffic TO Fairview
Park. The company will also be required TO
establish a central point in the city at
which suburban lines may turn their cars.
The paper finally stipulates that the city
shall be allowed 10 purchase the system at
any time within one year before and two
years after the end of the franchise.

Carele.snes. i'm Another Bill.

In going over the bills recently passed in
the secretary of states Office yesterday, an
other evidence OF carelessness was found,
but it so happens that the act is not in
validated by it. This time the fault rests
with the House committee on military af-
Barlow. which amends the act relating TO
the burial of the body of an ex-Union SOL
der. AS originally drawn, the b.l was cor
rect, and, in the first section, enumerated
the sections which were to be amended. The
committee recommended striking out all aft
er the enacting clause and substituting a
sections TO be amended were omitted. While
this is omitted from the bill itself, 1t has
been included in the title TO the BILL and
the secretary of state believes that this is
sufficient, according to ruling of the SUI
preme Court, although 1t is customary TO
include in the body Of the bill the sections
to be amended

tary of State Gonser discovered another bad
blunder in one of the legislative measures.
IL is House bill No. 49, which permits the
incorporation Of trust companies in cities of
1000 and more population with a capital Of
$50 600 instead OF requiring them TO capital
lie for Sf00 O0l. as Is required by the old law.
The bill amends Sections 2, and Of the
trust company law OF 1893. but an examina-
ton of the law of 1898 shows that the sec
ton to be amended in order to secure prop
er benefits was Section 5, which contains the
reference TO the amount of capital stock.
but the amendment in nowise refers TO Sec
ton o This will furnish another vexation
for the attorney generals Office and may
have the effect of invaiidating the entire
