According to an ordinance intro
duced and passed upon its first read
ing at an adjourned meeting of the

lie library, Board of Health, for pub
lie grounds and buildings, police,
poor, district court, city hospital,
streets and sewers, fire department
and an appropriation of $1,500 al
lotted for experiment with a public
playground.
Caused by Growth of City.
According to Acting Mayor Will
liam D. Voorhees, the increases were
actuated by the growth of the city
and increased number of improve
ments in the various departments
the past year Strong efforts were
made to keep the total amount OF
expenditure down and to that means
the city fathers figured close, allot-
ting only amounts as they thought
absolutely necessary to run the vari-
Gus departments.
General Increase Noted.
The amounts set forth in the ordi-
nance as introduced last night with
differences over this years figures
follow. Public library $500, i'm
Icrease sT00; Board OF Health $4,000,

mission s1,500, new.
Library Gets Extra Sum.
The increase for the public library
Is in accordance with laws which pro-
vide for the enlargement of such
appropriations with the growth of a
community. That for the Board OF
Health is to aid it in carrying on its
work which has necessarily grown
with the city. 1t had a balance OF
about 600 last year with which
to conduct its work and with plumb
! ing fees the board. will have approx
mately $4,000 next year, Mr., Voor
| Ihees estimates. An increase of S50t
for public grounds and buildings
means that repairs to roofs and
other parts of public buildings will
be made next year. The increase In
the police approximation Is for the
salary of q new policeman,

Women and Seals.

1t might be Interesting to know what
position the women Of the civilized world
would take with regard to the proposed
treaty between our country and Great
Britain to put an end, for some years, at
least. to the destruction of seals in the
polar seas.
The beautiful, inolfensive animals have
been the occasion OF almost numberless
international difficulties, Our govern
ment, as arbiter OF affairs in the seal
resorting sections has endeavored TO as
sert its authority of preventing the whole
sale, barbarous destruction of the seals.
Aside from a natural sympathy for the
pretty, harmless creatures, however. what
real occasion exists for all the fuss and
bother and international diplomatic deal
ings over the destruction Of the sealsp
The only persons in all the wide, wide
world really interested are the women
who can afford to wear sealskins and the
men making it a business to secure the
skins and prepare them for the market.
Why should the fancies ofia few thousand,
more or less, Of rich women and the
cupdity of a comparatively few seal
catchers and sealskin tanners and Overs
be allowed TO have SO great influence on
international affairs?
