1t has been definitely determined
that tin exists in the Atlantic Cable

some doubt was entertained by certain

but now all uncertainty has been dis
PEELED on that score and the cardinal
question is does 1t prevail in sufficient
quantities to enable it's extraction at a

now in process Of solution and ought to
soon be decided affirmatively or nega-

WHAT IT COSTS.
Estimate on Maintenance of
Fire Department.
Will Be Slightly Less Than Last
Year.
Doesn't Include the Cost of Fire
Engine.

Fire Marshal G. o. Wilmarth has
completed his estimate on the rum
ming expenses of the Topeka tire De
partment for the fiscal year l9O4-
1905, and filed it with VIM. Green,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee of the city council who brought
it and the other city officials estimates
before the ways and means committee
Monday evening.
Chief Wilmarth's estimate on the
cost of operating the fire department
this year, exclusive of the cost and
maintenance of steam fire engines, is
$37,97S.S9. For the fiscal year 1908
1904 the actual expense was $685.
inclusive of the additional cost of
steam fire engines, the estimate on
this years expenses is $4S,076 z,
against which there is an offset of re-
ceipts to the amount of $344.54, leav-
ing the estimate net expense SAL
1928, an increase over last year of
nearly $4,000.
The estimate shows that the $1O,-
600 extra expense is due wholly to the
purchase of steam fire engines. The
cost of the engines will be $7,561.78.
and the cost of maintenance for the
remainder of the year viii be So
$3.50, making a total of $10,O97.4S.
For the fiscal year ending April 1,
1904, the expenses were rendered I'M
usually heavy by the damage done in
North Topeka by the flood.
In September, 1903, the city council
raised the salaries of all f1remen Il
per cent. This increase in salaries
therefore offsets this year the flood
damage Of last year. The pay roll
estimated for the current year by
Chief Wilmarth is $32,424.83, exclu-
sive of The fire engine corps. This
leaves a total of $5,494.06 as the esti-
mated running expenses of the depart
ment exclusive of fire engines, which
is considerably less than last year.
Chief Wilmarth'S estimate contains
no figures on the probable cost of en-
larging one of the station houses to
which for the present will have to be
held in reserve. Nor does it include
any estimate for the cost of building
a new station in the Washburn col
lege neighborhood. Both of these
projects are as yet in rather nebulous
form.
The report mentions the fact thai
the hose reel at Station No. 8 is Is
years old and not in very safe condi-
ton, and suggests that the purchase OF
a light hose wagon is advisable, Il
also recommends the purchase of Z
water pressure gauge of the self-re-
cording pattern.
There is a rather lengthy preamble
| to the estimate, in which Chief VIII.
marth calls attention to the Difficult.
ties IN the way of making a close esti-
mate, owing to the liability of the
department to unforeseen accidents
As an example, it might be stated tina
during the past year, the department
has had Is men laid up because q
accidents, the total amount of time
taken off being 317 days, which is all
most the entire time of one man fol
q year.

that indica tions pointed to another

Speaking of Senator Hansbrough' s
