There is also appropriated for streets and
alleys all poll taxes worked out and cash
collected from poll tax. and all receipts
from the county road fund collected within
the city limits, and the receipts from the
road tax on agricultural lands within the
city limits, and the cash on hand In said
funds.
In deciding on these amounts I'm the vart-
Gus appropriations, the city council esti-
mated the revenue of the city for the ensu-
ing wear at $4,000. This income is derived
from the regular tax levy for the general
fund and saloon licenses, other miscelane-
Gus licenses and permits and police court
fines.
No appropriation as in former years, was
made from the general fund to meet a
deficiency in the water hydrant rental fund.
The ordinance recently passed reducing
the hydrant rentals made this Unnecessary.
All other funds, including lighting, are
provided for by regular tax levies each
year The sum Of 5000, however. was APP
proprated out of the general fund was
done last year to assist the regular sewer
fund. The expense OF cleaning Indian creek
makes this appropriation necessary.
Gentlemen YOU have heard this sad
news. What do you wish done with the
report?" was the way Mayor Macrae put it
1 when the clerk had finished reading the re-
| port Of the canvass of the vote cast at
the city election Monday. 1t was ordered
received and made part of the records.
A new ordinance, in the place of the one
recently introduced providing for additional
compensation for the superintendent of
markets, was presented and rushed through

This ordinance requires all public weighers

cost of 81 a hundred and the superintendent

Spencer Smith. on behalf Of a number of
adjoining property owners. Mr.. Smith COLI
tended that the city council had not the
right to grant away any portion of the
public sidewalk for such purposes and in
this contention he was supported by City

TnIk of Appointive OHices.

William F. Sapp, the defeated republican
candidate for mayor. will, it was stated
yesterday, be appointed city clerk. 1t is
understood that the position was offered
to Mr.. Sapp yesterday and that he an
nounced his willingness to accept It.
Former County Auditor r. V. Innes had
been a candidate for the position in case
the city council was republican, but it
was stated yesterday he had withdrawn
in favor OF Mr.. Sapp.
There is considerable talk OF the new
city council retaining Ed Bowman as
deputy city clerk. Although Mr.. Bowman
is a democrat, his peculiar fitness for the
position is recognized. Mr.. Bowman has
long been recognized as an authority on
real estate values and his knowledge IN
this respect is invaluable in the matter
OF special assessment against property for
sessment certificates.
That there will be a change in the head
of the fire department seems certain. Two
years ago. when the city council became
democratic, John l.. Templeton was re-
/ moved and Charles NJ. Nicholson APP
pointed chief. There is more or less talk
of the appointment going to Templeton
| again, although there are other candidates
| In the field. Friends of Chief Nicholson
are seeking to secure his retention in
office, but the republican members of the
city council look upon this appointment
as one Of the plums Of Mondays victory
The appointment of a chief of police and
| the members Of the police force is one
| of the perquisites OF the mayor, and Chief
| Richmond will be Mayor Macrse's choice
again. II is not likely any change will
be made in the personnel Of the present
| police force.
The newly elected members OF the city
council will take their places at the meet
ing next Monday night, at which time tn,
council will reorganize and the new stand
ing committees for the year be appointed
At this meeting Mayor Macrae will delvs
his annual address.
