A LONG TRIP.
Prominent Residents Leave for Flor
ida and Havana.

Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Kimball, of
Spring street. left this city yesterday
for a months pleasure trip in the
South. They go direct to Leesburg.
Lake county, Fla, in the heart Of the
Florida Lake region and in the most
prolific orange producing portion of
the Peninsular state. Leesburg is
about sixty-five miles southwest at
Palatka.
After short stay there the KIM
balls will go to Punta Gorda. De Soto
county, Fla. on Charlotte Harbor bay,
on the west coast of Florida. There
Mr.. Kimball will enjoy weeks hunt
ing and fishing, the Gulf of Mexico be-
in the outlet for Charlotte Harbor
hay. From there they will go to Hav-
ana, and after a weeks stay in the
Cuban capital will take steamship
to New York, arriving home about
Jan. 10.
Mr.. Kimball will unquestionably
have a good time if he pursues his
sightseeing with as much zest as he
enters into almost every other occu-
patton he takes hold OF.

ASKING FOR ESTIMATES.
Heads of City Departments Mus
Furnish Them by January l.

Deputy Controller Charles A. Hart
ley is sending communications to the
heads of the various city departments.
requesting them to furnish estimates
on or before Jan. ! of the expenses for
the fiscal year beginning April /.
In these communications he calls
their attention to the fact that all
deficiency bills on file in their offices
must be included in their estimates
and must not be kept until after the
appropriation ordinance is passed and
then sent down to his Office to be
taken out of the regular appropria-
tion.
The change of Scranton from third
to a second class city will cause great
confusion in drawing up the appropri-
alton ordinance on account of the new
departments to be created and the
necessary added increase in the way of
salaries, etc.
