The meeting broke up with no defin-
lite progress indicated towards the sifi-
ing out of the saloonkeepers who are
to lose their licenses under the new
law. The temper OF some OF the alder
men indicates that they will protest
strongly against the selection by the
police commissioner OF the saloonkeep-
ers who are TO be put out OF business
Some expressed the opinion that the
council might as well leave the entire
matter of giving licenses to Croul as
TO accept his list.
"Of course, we shall have to take
care. first Of all, OF the men who have
been in business more than year and
have had no complaints against them"

pected that all the reports will be in
by the end of the week.
The streets committee, which will
act upon all estimates for repaving.
resurfacing and similar matters, goes
out Tuesday morning for two days
tour of the city. This committee haS
the hardest work Of all. as the gen.
eral road fund estimates are very
large this year.
The bridges committee met Monday
morning and passed the estimates as
submitted in the bridge fund, which
is very small this year.
So far. the aldermen have reduced
the budget by approximately a mil
lion and a quarter, the biggest cuts
coming from the educational and park
funds. Big cuts are foreshadowed in
the police. fire department and gen.
eral road funds. II Is expected that
most of the things which are to be
met by bond issue instead OF direct
taxation will be approved. on the sup
position that the bonding limit will be
Increased next summer. II will be lett
10 the board OF estimates to say
which bond issues shall have prece-
dence by being made under the pre-
sent bonding limit.

Blessed IL know" he replied.

first represented himself as broker,

he claimed to have discovered a new
drink, which was destined TO become
very popular, and waxed eloquent as
he dilated on his prospects for the
future. His affable manner won the
confidence of the business men in the

commodated. Miss Briggs, daughter
of the grocer, very willingly handed
him over $2S5 on the first modest
check he presented. Before this check

with another for $40 and Miss Briggs
again accommodated him.
