 statement to the Mayor. the city ap- propriated $43,s5s.s0. and the State ap- yortionment and the resource from poll

 State apportionment aggregating. about $22,000. It will therefore be necessary, Mfr. Floyd reports for the Council to
 appropriate about $43,oOO for schools. The crowded condition of the negro
 schools continues, Mir. Floyd reports, and fourteen of the teachers are work
 ing on short time. Hundreds of pupils | were denied admission because of lack
 of accommodations for them. Of the | pupils enrolled in the schools, 1,7Se were negroes.
 Of the expenditures $42,34z70 was for salaries of white teachers and S9,- 96S.40 for negro teachers. The salary | of the Superintendent was S1,eI6.e0, and | of his clerk s4s5. For rent, fuel, SUD- plies. etc, $4.2st.ss was paid. The enrollment at the schools of the | city is as follows:

The handling of the office work of this department, believe, would be facilitated by the installation of an ad- ditionai utility man.
 Reports Not Received.
 owing to the amount of work in his office at this time. the report of the City Treasurer has been delayed. The reports of the City Clerk and Water Works Department, for the same reason. have not. as yet, been received. -Immediately upon receipt of these re- ports, same will be transmitted to your Honorable Body.
 Several recommendations. that are worthy of consideration, appear in the reports of the different departments, and some of them put Into effect would improve the condition of the City Government as wen. as the city at large. but the financial condition of the city at present will not permit these attendant expenses.
 These recommendations. however, might be borne in mind by your Honor able Body with a view to their adop- ton at a more opportune time.
 During the year just closed the city has made a monthly donation of SIS to the Salvation Army. l appre- bend there are but few people in our city who realize the volume of work done by this worthy organization, under direction of Captain L. A. odom. toward the uplifting of the fallen and the feeding of the hungry.
 ..An investigation into their work would. I am sure, elicit the sympathy and support of every citizen. This or- ganization. like most others of It's character, is dependent. in large measure. upon the public for support. And in view of the increasing duties of the Army. recommend that larger appropriation be accorded them by your Honorable Body.
 Tt is my earnest hope that this ad- ministration will be favored by Provi- dence, and our efforts be rewarded by beneficial and lasting results
 Respectfully.

Water is in the cellars of more
than 800 business houses running

in the west end are still running and

Tenement houses in Cincinnati

is in the cellars. 1t is expected that
