the ear Of the board today. Mr., Rinker
explained in detail the needs of the va
rious items for permanent improvements
coming under the jurisdiction Of the
city engineer, :, These make a total of
$685., 1000. The principal items are as
follows: Cny's portion of sewers, $780,

Mr.. Rinker explained that the sewer
items were imperative. It was wholly
necessary to continue the work on the

D.. r. M. Hall spoke of the great

territory Of thirteen square miles and
there should be another inspector in
that district. When the city chemist
and city psychologists removed their
offices and laboratories to the city
hill it would be necessary to have a
telephone operator He also wants to
put on ten additional teams for the
collection Of garbage and to- equip
chemical and meteorological laborato-
ries. These items will cause an in
crease Of about $4,000 in the depart

$S7, 900. =
Dr.. Hall stated that was no city
in the country that was handling the

RAND ORDINANCE
WILL BE FORGOT.
REPEAL OF CLARK ORDINANCE
WILL NEVER COME UP.
Even It's Supporters Admit that It Is
Already Dead and Only Result Of a
Vote Would Be to Place Aldermen on
Record, Which They Do Not Desire.

It is extremely doubtful if the Rand
ordinance, repeating the Clark liquor
license ordinance, will ever come to a
vote. It is not likely that the special
committee, to which it was referred,
will ever make a report, even if the
measure is taken under consideration.
According to the leaders on both
sides, there is very little chance to
pass the ordinance at present, as the
aldermen who had promised to support
it had been forced to change by pres
sure from their constituencies.
At the city hall it is generally ad-
m n that the ordinance is dead In
force a vote when the only effect would
be to place various aldermen on record.
Records on liquor legislation are rather
inconvenient about election time, no
matter on which side the alderman is
arrayed, and they have concluded that
the best way out is to forget the Rand
ordinance as soon as possible.
