In This Years Municipal Appro-
priations.
THE TOTAL NOT YET ESTIMATED

Although there is a deadlock in
the upper board and no committees
have been appointed to look after
the apportionment ordinance, general
interest is manifested in what the
different departments will ask for
this year. II will doubtless cost the
city a great deal more for running
expenses this year than last, as there
have been necessary improvements.
increases in department expenses and
many other things unforeseen, calling
for more funds The total figures
cannot be gotten at because of the
absence of the board of public works
report of the expenses for this year.
but with the exception of few items
in other departments and the street
and city electric light departments.
general idea of the money which
will be asked for will be found below.
The fire department will want sew
eral thousand dollars more because
of The increase in men and equip-
ment, and the city electric light plant
may be remodeled, costing much
more.
The police department got $4,000
last year, and WILL IL is said, ask for
$24,500 this year, because of the
addition of two plain clothes men:
the sanitary and pest house appro-
priations have during the past two
years been overdrawn several hun
dred dollars because of the smallpox
situation. In 1903 the apportion-
ment was $2.500 and It was over
drawn by $255, and last year the
amount allowed was $4,000 and II
was overdrawn $1,46S.06. This was
caused by heavy smallpox expense.
The cemetery account was allowed
$2,500 last year and spent only
s2,4G1; leaving a credit balance OF
s3S.
This year the first payment of s3,-
COS on the Potter farm, bought for
cemetery purposes. will fall due and
will consequently increase this de-
partments apportionment to about
$500. The interest money is also
another big item and will probably
amount to about $4,000. The inter-
est on new bonds will amount to $S.-
000; old bonds about $14.5O0. and
the carrying charges on floating
debt will amount to $2.500. The
sinking fund will probably be in
creased from $4,000, the amount al
lowed last year. to about $4,000, be-
cause the amount to fall due on the
100000 bonds will have TO be cared
for. The library will also ask for an
increase. The first amount due. 49,
500 which was pledged annually.
with $4,000 which the board is in
debt in excess of the allowance. for
buying new books, will fall due, max
ing about $500 to be asked for.
The cost OF fire plug rental because
of extension of mains, will exceed
last years allowance by $500 II Is
thought. The hospital. charity and
pauper funds will also be swelled a
little by the new city hospital Last
year the allowance was $4,000,
There will likely be little changes
in salaries. however but every indi-
cation shows the city will have to
provide more this year than last and
with no possible way of cutting ex-
penses unless u be in cutting down
the street account. which has been
enormous during the past year or
two. One expense the city may pos
sibly reduce is in the operation of
the city hospital, The private wards
will pay a great deal, and OF course
tighten the expense on the city.

tana Concert hall Monday night, Lee
showed bad in many ways, but always
showed what he is-a fighter.
The leg work of Wallace was a
revelation to Hayre sports. His
boxing was Of the superior kind, but
through it all Lee kept on stolidly
and in the end had his man nearly
going. A few more rounds and
Wallace, without a lucky punch,
would have been in. Wallace clearly
outpointed his opponent, but Lee
inflicted the heavier punishment.
Under the law boxing contest is a
boxing contest, but all of the 800
persons who witnessed the encounter
understood that a prizefight was on.
In prizefght, punishment is con-
sidered in the referees deliberations
At the end of the bout Referee
Billy Murrin held up the hand of
each man. Each was still wilkins and
he would not dissemble bettors' money
on split hair decision.
Wallace made many friends in a
strange town by his cleverness and
Lee kept his friends by his gameness.
Tommy came early dressed in red
white and blue. He got small
applause and lots of joshing while the
crowd waited for Kid Lee, who
loitered an hour, but finally appeared

received an ovation. Wallace looked
rangy and the Kid looked heavy.
Billy Murrin was announced as
referee.
Betting at the ringside was lively,
and involved several hundred dollars,
odds being even, with Lee money
backing the Wallace wagers off the
board.
Wallace was supported by Kid

troop behind him.
In the first Wallace led off with
right to Lees face and proved shifty.
Lee was good at blocking. In two
long clinches nothing hurt Lee.
Wallace tried to show him something
but he didn't do it.
La round two the men at once went
to harmless clinch. In a second
clinch each man sought the others
kidneys. Lee was wild. They re-
peatedly clinched and Lee got none
the worst of the kidney betting, upon
which both seemed bent. Wallace
was best at boxing; Lee was blocking

In round three Lee was fought to
his corner, but grew fierce and fought
his man out of it. Wallace put a
clever left to the neck Wallace was
quicker on his feet than was Lee, but
began to grow wild with his mits.
Wallace lost some blood at the nose.
In round four Wallace was aggressor
and did beautiful foot work, but Lee
was still strong. Wallace was doing
the prettier fighting, but he wasn't
damaging his man much.
In round five Wallace kept up
repeated left jabs, most of which
were blocked A fierce lunge by Lee
was ducked and sent Lee against the
ropes in his opponents corner. The

KID Lee AND TOMMY WALLACE
GO TO A DRAW IN BATTLE,

| In round six Lee hurt Wallace il
the ribs and kidneys on the clinches
Lees blow to the face was cleverl,
ducked just before the round closed.
In round seven Lee took larg,
punishment about the head in tn,
clinches, but came to in way tx

showed tiredness. The round wa,

In round eight Wallace sent a right
to Lees stomach that hurt. Lee
fought Wallace to the ropes in {
clinch. Two other clinches followed
without apparent damage.
In the ninth both seemed eager
Wallace leading Off with a blow te
the jaw. Wallace was good in leading
but was blocked cleyerly. Wallace
pounded hard on Lees kidneys ir
clinches. Lee struck Wallace as the
gong sounded, but couldn't help it,
The blow was started before the bell
and Lee couldn't stop it. Wallace
and his seconds understood, and nc
complaint was made except by betters
who were far away.
In round ten the clinches were at
first friendly. Lee got the worst OF
an exchange of blows. Lee then
punished Wallace on the kidneys.
In round eleven both men liked
fighting in clinches. Lee fought
Wallace all over the ring in clinch.
Wallace again looked tired.
In round twelve Wallace started
leading, always with the left, but
was wild. Ia a clinch, however, he
gave Lee fast punishment on the
kidneys. Lee smiled just the same.
Wallace grew careful when Lee bored
in. Neither was materially hurt in
the round.
In round thirteen Wallace contin-
ued leading with his left swing. A left
swing that lit on Lees jaw brought
applause. Lee was on the defensive
all through the round and the round
was clearly Wallace's.
In round fourteen exchanges were
heavy to the head, Lee getting the
worst of it. Wallace was hit hard on
the chest on a duck but was not
staggered. The round was altogether
Wallace's.
In round fifteen Wallace again
started his left jabbing. He then
put long swinging right to Lees
head, which Lee stood like a bull.
After a clinch Wallace seemed able
to hit Lee at will on head and heart,
but did not put him down. The fight
looked like Wallace's.
In round sixteen Wallace started
by fighting Lee into his corner. but
Lee was still lighting, every inch of
him. Each man got a hard jostle on
the jaw in clinch. Clinching again
prevailed and Lee got the worst of
that. Honors were even, owing to
Lees rally toward the close of refund.
In round seventeen Lee grew
aggressive, but got hard right to
the jaw for his pains. Wallace again
did fancy boxing and footwork. The
round ended in clinch in Lees
corner.
In round eighteen Wallace at first
tried to straighten Lee up, but
couldn't do it. He got the best of it,
however, in several clinches. Lee
