The circumstances with which
the board is surrounded have not
been fully considered up to the
time when the board has felt the
need of meter financial conditions
in the city. Financial troubles are
not pleasing to the present board
seeing the many needs over the
city which demand attention as
soon as possible.
At the meeting of the Service

BOARD IS UP
In THE AIR
Now Seeking Some Place to
Alight.
MONEY IS LACKING
Service Board Members Can
not Proceed.
General Discussion of Condition Is
Had by the Board but no Action
Is Taken.

The members OF the public SER
vice board are muCn puzzled at
present whether or not to believe
that the appropriation for the SER
vice board needs amounts to any
thing. At a meeting held Tuesday
evening the question came up and
the board members were in a guam
dry to know whether they might
proceed with the understanding
that the money was at hand or
check their advances, owing to the
uncertainty OF the appropriation.
President Busard thought the
case very peculiar If not UMPIRE
cedented. The board could find
good use for the entire appropria-
tion but If It is not backed by the
money ii will be useless. "There is
the list with our appropriation"
and the president of the board,
"but we don't know whether 1t
amounts anything or not,'
The board is co ntent to be econ
omical in its proceedings and is
willing to abide with the most
stringent methods but there are
number of things which must be
considered. The appropriation
should be used economially, ac-
cording to the members, but they
will first seek to find whether they
may depend upon getting the
money to pay bills.
There are number OF matters
before the board which must be
attended to within the near future
and which will entail much expense
on the city. Among the greater
needs is that of repairs at the
garbage disposal plant. The mat
ter was well discussed at the meet
ing Tuesday evening but owing to
the uncertainty of the board in
regard to the money question no
definite plans were completed for
the work. The repairs at the plant

NEW YORK SYMPHONY CONCERT

When Mime Nordica, who is to be heard here February h, with Walter Damrosch and the New Yorh symphony orchestra, returned to Lon don some years ago, after her hfst operatic success in England, she was welcomed by an audience of 25,ooo, the occasion being the trlennial Han del festival at Crystal palace. The occasion acquired additional brilliancy as it was jubilee year, and London was thronged with visitors from every part of the world. The event proved in every way a memorable one in her career. The chorus, numbering three thousand, being on the stage first, caught sight of her and the welcome began, extending to the orchestra and audience, and proving in its volume the enthusiastic regard in which the woman and her art are held in Eng land. She fought her way there, as elsewhere, step by step, but career gained in such fashion is as enduring as the art that gained it. The next. and what proved very nearly to be the final appearance of Mime Nordica was made at Queens hall, London, where she sang a programme of songs by American composers in lecture on that subject by William Armstrong. Shortly after this event Mime Nordica
 was obliged to cancel all engage ments, among others a state concert at Buckingham palace. At one time
