ASK MONEY GALORE.
Big Appropriations Sought by COuncil
Committees For Bridge And
BreakWater improvements.
DEAD LOCK ON A COMMISSIONER.

The city budget for the coming year
which is now being made out by the
members of the city council promises
to be larger than in previous years and
last night the city council tackled ou
expense to the amount of ST., 0OO.
This was in two appropriations, one for
the new Middle street bridge amonn-
ting to $13, 500 and another for $500
for the Improvement of the breakwater
on the South side of the city. Both ap-
preparations were included in the bud
get by the vote of the council. The
budget will be made up at the first
meeting IN December and at that time
the annual tax levy will be made. IF
the city is to make the levy sufficient
to meet the demands the levy viii
have to be more than one per cent and
It is possible that it will be as large as
one and one third per cent.
At the meeting of the council last
night City Engineer Moth brought in
the plans for the new Middle street
bridge and the clerk was instructed to
advertise Tor bids for The work. These
expected that the bridge will be built
next year. The estimate is SIS, 500.
The resignation Of E. r. Head FROM
the Board of Water Commissioners
was accepted and the council by a
unanimous vote extended a vote OF
| thanks to Mr.. Head for the many ser
vices he had rendered the city IN his
nT NG
The ba1loting for a successor to Mr.
Head then began and after four inef-
fectual ballots it was decided to lay
the matter over until the next regular
meeting of the council. The leading
candidates were James H. Charles and
I. ]. Dale, each man receiving six
votes. Louis Kindt received the odd
vote on the different ballots.
There is no doubt but that the police
department of the city has been busy
during the past three months as is
shown by the report of the Chief of
Police. The report shows that during
the time 134 arrests have been made
and of this number 81 have paid fines,
nine served time, three gone to the in
dustrial school for boys, two to the
state reformatory and one died in the
county Jail. The remainder were
either released or discharged on trial.
Intoxication cases lead the list, there
having been 70 plain drunks arrested
in the quarter. The roll of honor of
the officers by the number of arrests
made follows: Chief Reinold, Stevens,
Euting, Pabst, Hansen, Leik, Wade,
Nelson, Newhouse and Link. The
chief recommended that new clubs and
new revolvers be purchased for the
use of the officers.
The remonstrance from the people
of Deming Street in regard 10 paying
for the sprinkling was laid on the
table as it was found that the people
had no cause for complaint.
Peter Pirsch presented the low bid
for the building of combination
chemical and hose wagon for the fire
department and the contract will prob
ably be awarded to him. His bid was
$1,000, with $50 added for polished
copper or brass tanks. It is probable
that the wagon will be built during
the present winter.
The city attorney is to look into the
contract of the Electric Lighting Com
pany and look for loop holes by which
the city can declare the contract null
and void and it is probable that he will
make some report in another week.
The old scheme for the opening of
Summers street was taken up again
and referred to the committee on indic-
iary.
After the usual routine business the
council adjourned.
