Finance

The minority report recommended that the
tax levy be reduced from Sc cents (for city
purposes), to rs cents. II gave as reasons
that the present tax levy of II cents had
been ample and brought more into the

ton, with all its extravagances. could ex-

A HOSTILE COUNCIL.
The temporary loans, IL said, would not
have been made but for the refusal OF a
hostile Republican Council TO pass the
ordinance taxing gas mains and its repeal
of the brewery license ordinance. This low
levy was no cause for high one now. IL
argued. because the temporary loans made
under it had been funded into permanent
debt. The report also criticised the esti-
mate for public light. saying it was far in
excess of the amount needed. because the
new contract for light would greatly re-
duce the price. IL said the administration
had refused TO let a contract for light this
year so that the Indianapolis Light and

Municipal Affairs.

The Council has passed the tax levy ordi-
nance and the appropriation ordinance for
1903. The majority OF the Council COM
promised all differences before the meeting
and supported the unanimous report Of the
committee on finance. This report. as had
been anticipated recommended the reduc-
ton of the tax levy from 30 cents 10 IS
cents and the appropriations were reduced
$4,000. The Democrats unitedly opposed
everything and put themselves on record
by a minority report OF great volume.
Before the Council meeting the Republic
an members of the finance committee met
and discussed their report. Mr.. wynne.
the chairman, urged that no reduction of
the tax levy be made. He said the Ss-cent
levy would make ii a close shave to pro-
vide revenue equal TO the gross amount
called for by the city budget and he favored
surplus rather than deficit. Council
men Grail, Expert and Wysong. however,
held that the cuts made in the appropria-
tons were just ones and that having been
made the tax levy should be reduced cor
responding amount. They argued that IL
was useless TO exercise the power OF reduc-
tion in the appropriations If il was not
balanced by reductions in the tax levy, as
without reduction of the tax levy the
charge upon the taxpayers would not be les
sened. After a long discussion the five
majority members signed a report favoring
the S-cent levy and the reduced appro-
priations.
THE MINORITY REPORT
The sole business OF the Council was to
pass upon these two measures. When the
majority report was read Mr.. Moriarity, the
Democratic leader. offered a minority re-
pot. He dew it fom his pocket with diff
Guilty because of its bulk. 1t was witten
in Mr.. Morisritys choicest typewriter
style. There were a few intelineations, IL
is true, that were not in the stubby fist
of the Democratic leader. nor i'm the stylo-
graphic chirography Of the other minority
member, Mr.. Berry. The report resembled
the famous letters that T. Taggart once
sent to newspapers in serial form. Those
who intimated that the job was well Dunn
of course also intimated that Mr.. Moriarity
did not prepare the report. That diplomatic
councilman said it wouldn't be fair to
tell who wrote it, but he guessed the two
Jims could prepare a report as well as
anyone.
The majority report favored the follow
ing reductions:

MURDER THE CAPTAIN.
Natives in the New "a ebrides Attack
Schooner, III

81 o I3 = G
Victoria, B. c., Dec. 27.-The
steamer Moana, from Australia, during
the day brought news of an attack On
the recruiting schooner Lilly by the
natives of Mallicolo, in the New Heb
rides. They murdered Captain Henry
Asmos Atkinson, a Britisher, and
wounded two of the Lilly's crew.
The schooner was engaged in taking
home natives who had been employed
in New Caledonia by French planters.
One OF those consigned to MaIlicolo
died when near there and Captain At
kinson decided to bury the body
ashore instead of at sea. When Cap
tain Atkinson, landed he was rushed
upon and his rifle taken by the blacEs.
He was then shot and killed with his
own rifle. Some of the native crew
tried to save the dead captain s. body,
but the natives who were just landed
aided those ashore and the crew fed,
two Of them being wounded as they
swan back to the schooner The at
tack was the result Of superstition at
tached to the burying of the dead
body, the natives believing it neces-
sary to kill the whites to prevent fur
! ther deaths from occurring among
them. The schooner Pearl was at
tackled on this island few days later.
She called at Espigle bay, another part
tof the island, to land natives, when
she was fired upon and several Of the
native crew were wounded
