THE CITY COUNCIL
 CUTTING OFF CORNERS
In Order to Bring the Town Within
 Its Income.

For several hours last evening the city council was in session discussing possible changes in the license law and ways to make further reductions in the monthly operating expenses of the city. It is not likely any of the present plans of the counci men will be embodied and enacted into city law until July. but it is certain that every warrant issued during the coming fiscal year will be paid Immediately following the collection of the city taxes in Novem- Der and from that time on cash will be paid for all bills contracted. The warrants already issued will be paid as rapidly as possible, it being not inn probable that a bond issue will be pre- scented for the consideration of the taxpayers of the city by which if the issue is carried the outstanding indebt- edness will be taken up. AL any rate the saving plan of the city council will provide that before great many months have passed the amount for which warrants have been issued over and above that allowed by law will be accumulated and such warrants paid off.
 One thing is positive. There will be few city improvements begun until the city is able to make Its collections equal to its operating expenses. As soon as possible gradual and equal raises will be made in the license law and a fund created to clean up the ex- penses of years past created in excess of the collections. Street lighting will be reduced. fire service will be less ened. street work will be discontinued except when it is necessary on ditches that irrigatinS may be done and it is possible that stt1 further reductions may be made in the police force
 Councilman Eersting in the course of his remarks last evening. among other things said: "The legislature must come to the aid of the city. We cannot have all the improvements wanted under the present tax levy and I for one would like to see a movement started for the making Of a new char ter for the city by which the levy might be increased. The present tax levy is too low. I know of one instance where the property within a radius of 400 feet Of a street light does not pay for the expense O. burning that light. I know of a second place where all the prop erty in a block does not pay for the street sprinkIing expense over that particular block for a longer period than fourteen days. if all of the taxes collected there were applied to street sprinkling."
 The street sprinklinE situation has finally assumed such shape that it is likey the town section will be sprinkled. not. however, by the city before many days have passed. A mo tion was adopted by the council aU- thorizing MT. Bales to have the use of the street sprinkers free provided they are kept in continuous use. He is also

For a moment the earl regarded him

other extreme in a heavy frown Of dis
pleasure.
