City Fathers
Discover That
Funds Run Low
CounCilmen Find Estimate for City
Expense Was Below Last
Years Needs.

In fixing the appropriations Cor the main
tenance of the several municipal depart
ments for the fiscal year now drawing to a
close, the city council figured that it would
take at least $1,000 a month to run the city
government. Taking this as a basis, the
council estimated the revenue of the city
for the fiscal year at So, 900, and made the
appropriations accordingly. 1t now develops
that the councilmen did not make a correct
guess as to the expenses Of the city gov
eminent and that they will be not less than
S92, 900. The deficit, city officials say, is at
tributable to various causes.
The expense for the month of February
was $6.547.77. which was the smallest ex-
penditure of any month Of the year. The
report Of City Auditor McAneney for the
month Of February, issued yesterday, shows
that the balance in the general fund out OF
which the running expenses OF the city gov
eminent are paid on March l was only
$2,277.M. Should the city's expense for
March. the closing month Of the fiscal year,
not exceed that of February. there will of
a necessity be a deficit OF over $1,000 when
the books are balanced on April l.
At the beginning Of the fiscal year the
council appropriated only $1.6SO for emery
encies. and the city auditors report shows
mat this Iund mas Deen ONSToIdWn 10 the
extent OF $3,969.99. The flooding Of the
streets by reason OF the overflow of In
dian creek last summer is held responsible
for the overdraft in the fund. BY the end
of this month the deficit In this fund, 1t is
figured, will be increased by at least $1,000.
The appropriation for the city health de-
partment is o%verdrawn S751.11, and the ex-
pense attendant on enforcing the new pure
milk ordinance is blamed for this overdraft.
The appropriation for the city electricians
department was overdrawn &.01 on March
1, and city officials are now wondering
where money will be obtained to pay the
expenses OF this department for the month
Of March. The law specifically prohablts the
drawing Of warrants on any fund in excess
Of the amount appropriated at the com
mencement Of the fiscal year,
The following shows the amounts appro-
priated for the maintenance of the several
municipal departments for the fiscal year

That the run of The Merry Widow
the longest and most prosperous in
the history of the theater is already
apparent Since the opening perform
ance last Monday night the brilliant
satire of two great successes has been
playing TO capacity business, and the
advance sale augurs a continuation of
this patronage for some time to come
The production has awakened great
appreciation from press and public
alike. Kolb and Dill have put on
some pretentious shows at the Prin-
cess this season, but it has remained
for The Merry Widow and the Devip'
to cap the series. The production Is
a visual delight
Maude Lillian Berri is making the
hit of her career as Fonia, the wife
OF the Farsovian ambassador, who
yearns to be merry widow Miss
Berri not only sings and acts the role
admirably, but looks it besides. Her
rendering of the famous Villa is
delightful
The devil is quite novel and inter

of c. William KoIb and Max Dill gets
all the fun that is lying around loose

here for a long time.

William c. de Mile and Margaret Turn
bull and served Robert Edeson as
starring vehicle throughout one sea-
son. In the role of a West Point ca
det. Desmond scored the most en-
platic success of his recent engage
ment in Kansas City. It not only en-
ables him to appear to eye pleasing
advantage in the natty uniform of a
West Pointer, but gives him oppor-
tunity to prove that he can act inn
pressiyely without sartorial aid
Duncan Irving is the name of the
character that is assured of an artistic
portrayal by Desmond. In the opening
act of the play he is at West Point and
while fete is in progress his father
appears in a state of intoXication. To
add to the young mans chagrin his
sweetheart, Sylvia Stafford, is present.
Her brother, Burt, tauntingly alIudes
to the old mans condition until Dun
can strikes, the blow depriving him of
eyesight, and the girl promptly de-
nounces Duncan as a coward Stafford
RECEIVERS his sight and joins an expe-
dition to the Amazon. where he is lost
in the wilderness. Duncan seeks rec
oncilia tion with the girl and she tells
him that if he brings back her brother
she will forgive him. With two COM
panions he starts. for the jungle, where
he, too, is lost.
In the third act Stafford. insane from
his sufferings, and Duncan, whose
plight is scarcely less pitiable, meet
in the tropical forest. In his delirium
Stafford refuses to be succored by the
man whom he detests. but Duncan in
sists and finally forces him to drink
the water that means life. Then the
rescuer climbs a tall tree and attaches
a handkerchief to its topmost branch
and the flashing of photographic rays
upon the distress signal announces that
it has been seen and relief is at hand.
