In case the city wants to wipe out the
overlap which has been carried forward on
the books OF the clerk and treasurer for
years II will be necessary to vote bonds IN
the sum Of 100000.
Yesterday City Clerk shrigley completed
his statement prepared for the beuent Of
the mayor and council. This showa that at
this time there is an overlap Of s57.ess. In
order to take up the outstanding warrants
orders have been drawn upon the 1902 levy
and the overlap remains the same, as Il will
have to be carried forward unless some pro-
vision is made to take It up. The state
ment shows thai there is a deacit Of over
$4,000 in the smallpox department. while the
offices, rent and treasurer's departments
show a deficit Of over 81 900 each.
A city ofacial said last night that there
was only one way out Of the trouble and
that was to ask the people to vote bonds for
the taking up Of the overlap and then when
some changes we're made in the charter II
might be possible for the city to provide
sufficient funds to run the city without go
ing into debt
Unless something is done soon the overlap
will be increased and by next year It will
be so formidable that perhaps the people
will not like to vote such q large sum OF
money. II the proposition comes up this
fall for a low rate Of interest bonds It is
thought that there will be no difaculty in
relieving the city Of Its burden.
Another Dry sunday.
Mayor Koutsky said yesterday tina he had
not changed his orders in connection with
the closing OF saloons on Sunday and that
as far as no was concerned the original or
ders given Chief Briggs would be adhered

mand to keep the places where liquor Is
sold closed. This will be the NTH Sunday
Of the droutb and as the council has ex-
pressed its opinion on the petition Of citi-
Gems. some OF the dealers In liquor assert
that they will sell today whether the mayor
likes It or not. So far the complaints have
been filed under the city ordinances and
charge only keeping open on Sunday. No
violation Of the slocum law IL alleged.
