officer who was at the gate of the
works, the admiral was emerging from
a small shop in the works when a
workman who had been concealed

City Revenues Fall Off $4,000 and Ex-

report to the finance committee which
shows that the general fund is over

cOrding to this same report, the Morris
administration had balance on hand
in the general fund of SIS 1882.
Mr. Alff's report shows a tremendous
falling off in the revenue of the city for

amount collected was S144S49O1 as
against $219, $500 for the corresponding
period last year. At the meeting of the
finance committee held in Mayor
ThOmpSOn's office yesterday afternoon
an attempt was made to prove that this
falling off in the revenue was due to the
stopping of open gambling: but this
statement doesn't hold water, because
the total annual revenue from open
gambling under the Morris adminiStra-
ton was only $4,000, whereas the fall
ing off in four months amounts to $74,-

Moreover. City Treasurer Frank A

been better and closer than those which
furnished the revenue to the Morris ad-
ministratiOn last year. Nobody con-

belief that had pledged myself specific

set Of amendments, or that / would not

preserved the essential features of the
Hepburn bill as il came from the

The president says that as to many of

called Long, Overman, Bacon and
SpOoner amendments, he had said he
should be entirely satisfied TO have
