HAS NEW BUDGET PLANS.
Mayor Favors Establishment Of Con-
tingent Fund.

Mayor Breitmeyer left Thursday aft
ernoon for trip with the Board or
Commerce and will not return until
Monday night or Tuesday morning,
Aid. Herman f. link taking his place
temporarily as acting mayor. The
mayor will be back In town, however,
In time TO make sure that no park
commissionership appointment Is
made June / In his absence.
Breitmeyer has some ideas with re-
gard to the changing OF the budgetary
features OF the city government which
he will bring up later In the form OF
a suggestion for the amendment Of the
charter. He would have contingent
fund established upon which all de-
partments may draw to make up def
cieucies in their appropriations. This
would serve to Offset mistakes OF the
board OF estimates.
Some of the aldermen are limiting at
an amendment to do away with the
board of estimates entirely. Aid. Gin
nan, chairman of the council ways
and means committee, is not one OF
these.
Some slight changes may be made
in our financial system but l think
that, In general, II is a good one," he
SAYS. 81 think that the board Of esti
mates should remain to cut the budget
and that the aldermen should retain
the power to transfer funds and piece
them out. None of the aldermen is
dod ging the responsibility.

The long-continued grind of the
case OF Hugh Dillon against Craig
Wright & Walker. the insurance ad
justers. for the return OF the $4,000
fee collected for adjusting the loss in
the Dillon fire. Is getting on the nerves
of the lawyers. and Thursday morn
ings session was marked by signs OF
peesishness. Several times Judge
Mandell was compelled to demonstrate.
and once he called two OF the oppos-
ing counsels into his private chambers
for a talk.
Mrs. Powell, a daughter Of the plain
tin. was on the stand, Thursday, for
crossexamination, and was being ques-
toned by Attorney Selling. He stood
In front OF the witness In such a posi-
ton that she could not see her mother.

Is associated with Sloman, remarked
TO Selling:
IF you stand in front OF me and
try to shut out my view OF the wit

Settings reply was not very loud,
but when the matter was called u
Judge Mandell's attention he took the
attorneys into his room, and conferred
with them several minutes. The bal
ance OF the session proceeded without
interruption
Mrs. Powell was rigidly examined
regarding the testimony given Wed

Grated the story Of her father and
mother relating to the alleged loot

Craig and Wright and their wives. Al
though confused as-te minor details
and occasionally contradicting herselr
regarding trivial matters, she stuck
TO her story splendidly.
