AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Funds Are in a Somewhat De.
pleted Condition.
POLICE Ar F1REMEN LArp OFF
Council Face 20 Race with Serious
Proposition and First Of New
Fiscal Years Five months
AWAY.

An analysis Of the report Of the city clerk
Of the financial condition OF the city pub
lished yesterday, shows that according to
the rate Of expenditure for the last seven
months the lighting fund will be short
S3,19o72. the fire fund s. SIS 81 and the DO
lice fund S5so7.5s
The depleted state Of the fire and police
funds has long been anticipated and since
last November the board has been monthly
laying off men. But apparently this policy
Of reduction has not been able to solve the
difficulty OF the financial situation, and
the city council and the board are now
face to face with the serious proposition
Of how to run those two departments until
the end OF the fiscal year. five months
hence.
One Of the recommendations Of the char
ter revision committee was that these two
funds should be increased, but whether
that recommendation will be in the bill
when Il passed the legislature is at present
a matter Of conjecture. But whether or
not-and this increase can only help out
In the future-the opinion Of the taxpayers
Is that more care should be exercised by
the board in manning the police force.
Admittedly there can be none too many
men In the fire department. especially in
view Of the establishment Of the two new
fire stations, but the general opinion Is
that the board has been IN the past too
ready, for various reasons, 70 add 10 the
police force, with the result that there are
not sufficient funds now to meet the men
on the payroll, notwithstanding that some
have been compelled to take vacations even
to the length Of three months
The state Of the lighting fund is another
proposition and, as is well known, this is
due TO a too generous response by the
Councilmen to requests for more light.
More light in dark places is good, and par
ucularly when It is OF a moral or intel
lectual character but when II is the light
that costs 30 much per lamp II is quite
another thing. over and over again Mayor
Trainor has warned the council that the
granting Of these requests would place the
fund in serious condition, but his warn
ings passed unheeded and hence the posi-
ton Of affairs the report of City Clerk
Good discloses.
Admittedly there is always a little money
coming from the collection of back taxes
and there is the prospect Of SO per cent
or the taxes being cOllected-but this is
only a drop in the bucket. That fund
stands at the present time at about 81 300
and when that amount is segregated be-
tween the various boards what these de-
pleted funds will get will certainly not
lift their heads above water.

DIS MONIES, March 2-tspecisl)-
There fs no possibility Of any radical
legislation on any topic from the Thirty
fourth general assembly Of Iowa. The
machine Is loaded for extreme couserva-
tism.
There will probably be no legislation af-
fscting she prohibitory question or saloons
or the sale Of liquor. The prohibitory
amendment will probably pass the house
almost any day but the senate has Il
on the calendar for killing and judging
by the votes which have already been cast
upon various matters Il is destined to fall
there.
The five-mile limit law which was in
tended TO make It impossible to have sa-
looms anywhere in Iowa City because OF
the presence there Of the State university
will not set through The house refused
20 accept a committee report to kill the
bill and next Thursday will debate II and
probably pass It. but the senate committee
has not acted. So, also. with practically
every other bill affecting temperance.
The senate passed two important bills
TO cut off the attorney fees from the attor-
neys OF the Anti-saloon league on account
az bringing injunction cases, but IT is GER
tain the house will either amend these
bills or effect their entire defeat
There is no railroad legislation pending
that has any chance whatever Of getting
through. only minor matters are involved
IN any bills affecting the railroads and
anything that will cripple the railroads or
hamper corporations.
