MORE MONEY NEEDED
Cost of Running the City This Year
Will Be Higher.

How much money will the city
spend this year? This question is one
of the vexing problems for the coun-
Gil to determine at the opening of the
new year and the making up of the
appropriation ordinance is one of the
most important duties of the new
bod.
The council last evening voted to
expend S49,167.SO as the sum neces,
sary for the running of the city dur
ing the year. The amount appropri.
ated at the beginning of last year was
$4S,950.00. The amount is greater
this year on account of additional OBJ
legations, for instance, a land contract
has been assumed by the city and it
became necessary to have the sum of
$1,000 in the appropriation for the pur.
chase and lease o. land.
the appropriations in the several
funds made last evening aad passed in
the form of an ordinance after con,
siderable discussion and careful con-
sideration were as follows.

actual work to be done that 1t is dill
cult to forecast just when Thaw's al
torneys will rest and when Mr.. jerome
will begin the introduction Of rebutta1
testimony about which has been so
much mystery and secrecy. DR.. Evans
was on the stand and about to relate
certain conversations he had with
ThaW in the Tombs during his frs:
three visits when court adjourned
Thursday. 1t is presumed that Dr.
Evans will resume Monday morning
He must necessarily do so, it is said,
10 maintain the continuity OF the pro
ceedings It was intimated today, how
ever, that Dr. Evans may be inme-
diately withdrawn Monday to allow
Mrs EVELYN Nesbit Thaw to conclude
her evidence.
The defense has the right to ,cca
Mrs. Thaw any time it desires 10
place before the jury sufficient te3['-
mony as to Thaw's insanity to permit
introduction of further revelations
made to him by his wife and his state
ments to her in return. However, there
is a strong probability that DR.. Evans
may be permitted to continue his test'-
mony Monday 1t is then question
whether or not Mr.. Jerome will elect
to cross examine the witnesses im1ne-
diately or reserve the privilege anti
later.
When court adjourned last Thursday
afternoon Justice Fitzgerald released
the Jurors from custody until Mon'tay
morning" Having o1ce been releasa1
it is not likely that the jurors will again
be held in close confinement.

road rates from the Lakes to Georgia.
Our state owns a railroad from At

strong sentiment in favor of extending
it to Savannah. II Cincinnati could re-
claim control of the line built by its
citizens from Cincinnati to Chicago,
and Cincinnati and Chicago would join

might be made through trunk lire

water and plenty OF it TO be diseov-
cred in that section.

entire city under franchise granted

pipes and installing system as
soon as possible.
Phil Eyer, the man who had
charge of the drill when the wonder
