Members of the finance committee
stated that they would not o. K the
warrant for salary not provided

lost by big majority.
Move for New Water Supply.
An important resolution was intro
duced by Councilman Salmson, pro-
viding for the investigation of the
South Tacoma water supply, with the
object of doing away with the Glover
creek water altogether. A special

Roice and COuneilmen Giblett and

matter up.

Seattle and Spokane

SEATTLE, July IA sensation
was sprung at the meeting of the
State Medical association here yes
terday when Or. r, X Winslow, a
member of the laboratory committee
of the King County Medical society,
read a paper dealing with the milk
problem. He said
'The condition of the milk used in
this city is such that, were sanitary
regulations such as exist in Eastern
cities enforced here, The entire milk
supply would be cut off. Examina-
tions show that most of the daiiies
furnishing milk in this section are
dirty. The mixers are dirty, the
utensils used to receive the supply
are unclean, the cattle are filthy and
little or no precautiOn is taken to
prevent infection of the lacteal fluid.
Practically all of the milk delivered
is from 12 to 1G hours old and has
been subjected to a temperature ex-
cellent for the development Of bac-
terra. The delivery wagons resem-
BILE garbage carts and many Of the
drivers look like sewer masters.
1.-THE result Is that we get milk
containing from 100000 to 6,00O,-
900 bacteria to the cubic eentimeter.
The impurity OF The supply may pe
easily seen when Il is known that the
number Of bacteria should not under
any circumstances exceed 100000 to
the cubic centimeter."

CONTROLLER ExPL LODES ANOTHER
BIC BOMB IN The CITY COUNCIL

City Controller Jackson recently
disturbed the serenity of the city
council by stating that within SIX
months time, unless the council was
careful with its expenditures, the city
would not have enough cash in the
general expense fund to buy horse
feed. The council received a COM
munication from the same source
containing hard, cold facts which
bear out the controllers previous
statement. The communication is as
follows:
"The monthly report ending June
80 will show that we are nearing the
finish of our tax levy made for the
general expense fund of the city for
the year 1904. We had in the. gen
eral expense fund at the beginning
of the year $2,766.S6, and to June so
had collected $66,29036, making a
total of $69,057.22; have expended
$5O,S52.26, leaving a balance of
$18,20496, against which there are
bills before the council, warrants out
standing, appropriations and trans
fers aggregating 2,534.8S, leaving
actual cash available of $5,670.0S.
Over 80 per cent of the tax levy for
this year has been collected, and
should we collect the remainder in
full it would produce only $1O,54O.-
75, which. added to the cash availa-
BILE, would make the sum on hand
but 6,210.S3 to run the general eX-
pense for the remaining six months
of this year, as against $63, 3,3S7.14
expended during the first half of the
year.

the direction OF the laboratory board
of the King County Medical society.
Twenty-eight samples of milk were
examined, and 16 of these were
found to contain more than 3,000,-
600 bacterian to the cubic centime-
ter. The other samples ranged from
10000 to the million mark. Tests
o fthe supposedly Pasteurlzed milk,
he asserted, disclosed The fact that
the process is so imperfect that no
good is accomplished by 1t.
Coming as II does at q time when
milk dealers are known to use chem
ical preservatives, DR.. Winslow's pa
per is liable to start an investigation
along that line, as well as move
ment to clean up the dairies.

WATTERSON AND OLNEY JOIN IN
'HURRAH FOR PARKER" CHORUS

ESOPUs, ~ Y. July 1.-Two of
the most cordial letters Judge Parker
has yet received furnished much
qualification to the nominee at Rose
mount today FIX Secretary of State
Olney wrote that botn the party and
the country cannot be TOO emphatl-
cally congratulated on Parker's nom
ination and that the latter's leaving
his present high position TO enter
politics could not be justly imputed
to anything except a patriotic sense
Of duty, which would be appreciated
by the intel.ig ut votes Of the coun.

"The salary fund, as you are
aware, is dependent on collections,
and ended with a balance of $19,-
952.58, to pay warrants outstanding
of $173.05 and June payrolls of
SIG, 6,35S.93, leaving cash available OF
S3,393.60. Adding cash in the gen
eral expense fund, $5,670.08, and
salary fund, $3,393.60, we enter the
second half of this year with less
than $4,000 for the general ex-
penses of the city. l submit these
figures for your general considera-
tion and ask that you kindly con-
slider them"
The communication provoked no
remarks except from Councilman
Giblett, who wanted to know how
much of that sum had been expended
during the first six months of the
year Figures furnished by the con-
troller show the expenditures from
the general fund for each month of
the year to be as follows:
January, $6,743.12; February, $5,-
707.76; March, $S,709.12. Total for
first three months, $21, 100.
April, $12, 2,272.06; May, S10,062.-
81; June, $7,357S9. Total for sec
ond three month, $29,692.26.
Despite the fact that this fund is
low, the city was never better off
financially than it is at present 1t
is like a sailor adrift on the ocean
with water, water everywhere, but
not a drop to drink" The charter
restricts a large part of the city
funds from being used for certain
purposes, and the general expense is
one of them.

ported that the supply was sufficient
for a city more than three times the
size of Tacoma, that it was free from
contamination, and recommended the
proposition of the Mount Tacoma
Water Supply company to the consid-
GRAFTON of the council.
Other Matters.
Councilman Christoffersen intro
duced a resolution prohibiting the
running at large of domestic ami
mails, two remonostrances against the
granting of the T. r. & p. company's
power franchise were filed, and the
license fee for trading stamp dealers
was reduced from $500 to 800 per
year. A communication from ID. l..
Newell, directing attention to the
dangerous speed of street cars on
the Point Defiance and Puyallup
lines, was placed on file.
a communication from the city
controller, calling attention to a
shortage in the general expense and
salary funds, wasialso placed on file.
The final act Of the session was
the introduction of an ordinance by
Councilman Hawley, providing that
shade trees may be cut down wher-
ever they interfere with telephone,
electric light or power wires.

CAPTAIN KENLEYS ARTILLERY
WON BATTLE FOR The BROWNS

The Browns came out victorious in
the big battle at the encampment yes
terday, and this was mainly due to
Captain Kenly and his gunners of
the Eighth battery With his guns
masked behind a screen of young frs,
Captain Kenly allowed Hawthorne's s
battery, the Twenty-sixth, with the
Blues, to get down into the open
plain, 800 yards away, before he
opened fire. Then he annihilated the
enemy.
The Brown brigade, commanded
by Colonel Huston of the Nineteenth,
consisted of the Oregon and Idaho
regiments and Kenly's battery, be-
sides the cavalry. scouts, which were

A number of propositions came be-
fore the council last night which had
the effect of Transforming that meet
ing into a talking, match% One OF
these was the annual contest over
the renewal of the liquor licenses foI
Kellogg & Ford and the West End
saloon, on South X street A re-
monstrance against the renewal. con-
tanning 4SS names, was presented
and number of the demonstrators
were present at the meeting. To give
them an opportunity to be heard
Councilman Salmson moved that the
council resolve itself into a com
mittee of the whole.
Giblett Gets Frantic.
When the motion was put, Coun-
Gilman Giblett jumped into the lime
light and, in a burst of oratory that
for the time being apparently took
the breath of his colleagues, fran
tically opposed the proposition of al
lowing anyone outside of the council
to say anything on the subject, on
the ground that it was out of order
He was overruled and the motion
carried.
RemOnstrance Turned Down.
Rev G. A. Landon, Professor A. B.
l.. Gellerman, Rev. Clulow, Rev. J.
Lewis Smith, L. p Larsen and others
spoke in favor of sustaining the re-
monstrance. The council gave the
remonstrance scant consideration
however, and a motion was made to
grant the renewals. On close viva
voce vote President ROice ruled that
the motion had carried and the mat
ter is settled for another year. Coun-
Gilman Richards championed the re-
mOnstrance.
