BROWN TALKS BUSINESS
CITY CONTROLLER CALLS ATTEN-
TON OF COUNCIL TO ooND1-
TON OF REVOLVING FUND.

Dan G. Brown, city controller, has
indited communication to the city
council in which he informs the alder.
men Of the condition of the revolving
fund and gives some advice as to what
might be done in order to adopt bust
nesslike methods. What G.. s. Hubert,
city treasurer, calls a deficit or short.
age in the fund, Mr.. Brown speaks of
as a "debit cash balance" but the
terms are synonymous. The deficit is
given as $685., 363.O4, but particular at
tention is called to the fact that the
amount will be greatly reduced by the
settlement Of the undistributed taxes
and the apportionment due from the
permanent improvement fund. These
amounts are in the hands of the city
treasurer, but on his books are not
credited to the revolving fund.
Mr.. Brown suggests that the expend-
itures from the revolving fund for the
year 1907 be adjusted and determined
by formal resolution, the amount also
to include the city's share of the i'm
provements available from the perma-
nent improvement fund. This action,
he says, should be taken prior to the
resolutions ordering the work for the
coming season and if possible not later
than the last meeting in January
It is also suggested that this course
Of procedure be established by the pas
sage of an ordinance directing the
authorities to follow the system An
ordinance will naturally compel sue

According to instructions from the
Beresford family in Ireland, the body
of Delevan J. Beresford, younger brotb-
er OF Sir Charles and Lord Marcus
Beresford, now in MINNEAPOLIS, will be
sent by express to Queenstown, Ireland.
where the family will meet it and con.
vey it to Portlaw.
Positive personal Identification of the
body of Beresford, who was killed in
the Enderlln wreck, was made today
BY E: n. Anthony of Ell Paso, Texas,
Mr.. Beresford's cattle broker. The
was complete and will
serve for all probate emergencies that
may arise. as to the estate in Chihua-
hua, Mexico. Mr.. Anthony has been
doing the Beresford brokerage business
since the spring Of 1898.
It is learned today that Mr.. Beres-
ford had been in the Medicine Hat
country since October and that he was
returning to Mexico when killed. He
had gone north to dispose of his Cana
dian ranches, which are under lease,
but was unable to close the deal this
season. He had q thousand acres of
cattle ranch land and 500 of horse ranch
land, about seventy miles north of Med
icine Hat. Mr.. Beresford had two
ranches in Mexico, one of 100000
acres and another Of $4,000, about two
hundred miles south Of Ell Paso. The
Canadian ranch was stocked in 1903.
Mr.. Beresford had been in America
about tWenty-One years.

HAVE ~" HOSPITAL

st. Paul will not be allowed to walk
away with the proposed new state uni
versity hospital, as planned at the
coming session of the legislature. St.
Paul has offered free site, but plans
are now under way for a similar offer
from Minnesota, and in view of the
fact that the university administra-
tion and all departments are here. it
is believed the new hospital will be
erected in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis physicians and hundreds
of friends of the university are behind
the movement and have placed it in
the hands of the Commercial club
public affairs committee, urging CO.
operation. The committee discussed the
subject at length at a special meeting
yesterday and will be ready with a
proposition when NE matter comes be-
fore the legislature.

OF fourteen democrats winning the
