pected to Make Deep Cuts In Items.

Complete estimates for the general
revenue and permanent Improvement
funds for next year will be submitted
to the city council at it's meeting this
evening by City Controller Dan G..
Brown. The aggregate for the various
city departments is 1887, 990.23 This
is only $4,000 more than the appropria-
ton for 1906, and when the board Of
tax levy has pruned the estimates it
will show a substantial saving.
The direct revenues Of the fund arc
estimated at $4s0,ooo, compared with
$479,ooo estimated for this year. The
$408, 900; other licenses, $4,000; munic.
ipal court, $27,000; city clerk fees,
$4,000; rents, etc., $4,000; interest on
daily balances, $4,000. There remains
1857 ,990.23 to be raised by taxation,
provided the board of tax levy does not
trim the estimates.
Permanent improvements.
The permanent Improvement fund
estimates aggregate $474,100, and are
made up Of the following items: City

Little business Of Importance will
come before the council this evening
as only few of the committees have
met during the last week and those
which have been able to obtain quo

BUILDING PERMIT
RECORDS BROKEN R /:
GREATEST AUGUST IN 0oNsTRUc.
TIoN HISTORY OF CITY.
Totals 90 to $1,146,2s0, Beating Any
Previous August = Transfer Com
panies' Books Form Another Index
to the Growth of M1nneapolis-This
Is Moving Season for Flat Dwellers.

August is a remarkably big month
for building operations, not only for
this time Of the year, but for any time.
The building permits aggregate an ex-
penditure Of $1,l46,2S0, and this figure
has never been touched in any CORE
spending month in the history, of tho
city. It is true that August, 1887,
shows a total Of $1,026,250 but all the
other August figures are below the mil
hon mark and the majority below half
a million. W.
The permit for the Butler Brothers
as the cost will be $45O,000. Among
other permits of goodly size are those
for the Sheffield elevator, to cost $780,
900, and the new Janney, Semple, Hill
& Co. building, to cost $4,000.
The Rental People.
Minneapolis grows. Not only build
ing permits, but transfer company g
books and records of the rental agen-
cy offices show this. The. transfer com
panies are a week behind orders in
moving people, and the rental agencies
haven't enough places to rent. The
agents account for this condition with
the statement that Minneapolis is grow
ing. The transfer men say nothing but
admit that they are thoroly buried un-
der orders.
Flat leases date from Sept. and the
annual moving is, on. Altho several
hundred fiat buildings have been built
in the last two seasons and predictions
were made that Minneapolis would soon
be over-fatted, the prophets have
not made good their gloomy forebodings.
Scarcity also prevails in houses to
rent. Altho hundreds of new houses
have been added to the Minneapolis to-
tai in 1905. a scarcity is still noted. The
only reason for this that is advanced is
the statement that Minneapolis Is grow
ing.
The moving vans are engaged in sew
eral distinct kinds Of work. They are
moving families from one fiat to an
other. They are also moving house
hold goods from flats to houses and
from houses to flats. Calls are on the
books to move people from one house to
another, and from houses and flats to
warehouses, and from warehouses and
railroad stations to fats or houses. A
great business is on also in moving lake
cause school begins Tuesday, and the
youngsters must be on hand bright and
early. Minneapolis is moving as well
as growing.
Want Higher Priced Flats.
1t any scarcity OF applications fol
flats is. noted at all by the rental agents
it is in the lower"priced apartments
This is said to be due to. the great real
estate and building activity among the
wage earners in the season which is
just closing, and the families are NOV
ing to homes of their own. This
leaves a great number Of low-priced
apart rnents vacant The greatest
shortage in rentable quarters is in high
priced houses and in apartments Of thu
same class. A great many high sala
ried railroad men and iobbing hous.
employees are moving to the city anc
they have created a demand for $6i
houses and apartments.

DROPS DEAD IN CAFE
Charles D. Harsin Expires While Wait.
ing for Evening Meal. ; :

Charles D. Harsin, landscape gard
ener, dropped dead while sitting, at one
Of the tables in the Brunswick cafe,
Hennepin avenue and Fourth street, last
evening.
Harsin was alone, but several Of the
walters saw him drop to the floor and
ran to pick him up, but he was dead
when they reached him.
Friends of the man say that he has
been in poor health for some time, and
was accustomed to the use of drugs and
stimulants. A bottle of morphine was
found in his clothes and it is thought
that his system was so weakened by
the drug that heart failure was the re,
suit. Coroner .Kistler decided that
death was due to heart failure and no
autopsy will be held.
Mr.. Harsin was known among his
friends as a great lover of nature as
we'll as thoroly capable landscape
gardener. Among the works to his
credit is the laying out Of the Forman
grounds near Lake Calhoun.

There is much work ahead of the grand
jury. the sessions of which will begin
next Tuesday. Four important cases are
slated for hearing and IT Is likely that
others OF equal moment will come before
the inquisitorial body.
The grand jury will probe the charges
against Jim Taylor. who has been held
for that body on circumstantial evidence
connecting him with the hold-up of Big
gins saloon on the night of January 3.
At that time masked man entered the
place and at the point of revolver held
those in it up. getting away with over
$500 belonging to the various games.
Taylor was arrested charged with the
crime and was held for the grand jury.
The case of Ed Spencer. charged with
grand larceny. will also be gone into.
Spencer Is accused of having stolen
money and jeweiry from some women of

OF another Chinese. will also come be-
fore the grand jury.

will appear before the grand jury on a
charge OF grand larceny. Patterson, who
was bound over at a recent hearing, was
brought to Wnnemucca last night by
Constable Wolf of Lovelock and is now
confined in the jail
II is more than likely that the case Of
the killing of Aljandro. the Basque

probed thoroughly by the grand jury,

WESTERN PACIFIC GNAT
TAKE WELU LU.HT TO Bay
Decision May Turn Road to Marin Shore Opposite
San Francisco

Especial Dispatch to The Silver State.)
CAN FRANCISCO. March 22.-Tne de-
- cision that the Southern Pacific prac-
tically owns the Oakland waterfront
may have a very decided effect upon the
plans of the Western Pacific.
An interesting fact in this regard is
that the road some time ago acquired
in Marin county a lot of property on
Richardson's bay, including Da Silva
island Richardson's bay is that branch
of the bay Of San Francisco lying be-
tween Sausalito and Belvedere. or Tib-
iron 1t extends inland very nearly to
Mill Valley, at the foot of Mount ia n
alpais The bay is deep. and with very
go for several miles above Sausalito.f In
deed. there are at present several
schemes by which ferry systems will be
tStdDHSitu tOHiltSbihS BofaAs Vh teiNh-
ardson's bay with San Francisco.
The time from Richardson's bay, at
the points now owned by the Western
Pacific. to the ferry building in San
Francisco. is not over half an hour, and
by putting fast steamers on the route
the trip could be made in twenty min
utes. AT present the connections at both
Sausalito and Tiburon are controlled by
the California Northwestern which is
nothing but an alias for the Southern Pa
cific.
The Island OF Da Silva is very near the
mainland. at low water it is practically
a peninsula. 1t is on deep water and by
a little leveling could easily be used for
freight sheds and depot landings. The
island is now owned by Mrs. Bartnett,
wife of the vice president of the West
ern Pacific, and at one time she gave
out, or some one kindly started the story
for her, that she intended to build a
palatiai home on the property But al
though 1t has stood in her name for
more than year now. nothing has been
done on it, and 1t is well understood that
the Western Pacific really WINS the
island.
BY building road around from Sac
ramento through Yolo and Solano to
San Rafael. the Western Pacific at no
heavy grades can reach San Francisco
by way of Richardson's bay although
this would be longer way around to
San Francisco than If il made the con-
nection at Oakland which it has been
seeking. The road has been buying prop
erty for several months along the Marin
county water front of the bay to give
II all needd yard room for ships. etc.
