One and perhaps two officers OF the

pay Of the mayor. councilmen, ana oth-
err officers of the city will stop on that
date. until the general fund is replen-

treasurer The reason for this unusual
action is that the general fund is prac-
ticallv exhausted. 1t will be entirely SO
bv Jan. 1, when the next and the last
salaries Of officers are paid from 1t.
It is very likely that at least one po-
liceman will be dropped from the pay
roll the first of the new year. Councli-
man W. E. Nicholson said this forenoon
that probably one or two would De ialo
off. In case one officer is dropped. and
the Youngest man in point OF service
is discharged that officer will be
Charles Sandvig. If two are removed
and the same rule is followed. the 9TH
er one will be Charles E. Delahoyde.
Will Not Withdraw Fund.
This plan of further reducing the po-
lice force is to keep the expenditures OF
the department within the appropria-
ton. The removal of one more ofticer
would leave three, exclusive or the
chief of the police and Merchant 20
lice Mcnamara, who is on the city pay
roll.
The city officers affected by the stop
in pay are Mayor Willard and Council

their pay from the general fund the
others draw some of theirs from the

part of their pay that is paid from the
water works fund.
Other Funds Ample.
The city's fiscal year ends March
81. The city will receive some tax
money from the county treasurer dur
ing both February and March. City
Clerk Wilson hopes it will be enough so
that the officers unpaid salaries for
January, February, and March may be
paid before the end Of the fiscal year.
1.-THE other funds are in good shape"
said the city clerk this forenoon. But
] understand that every year, about
this time, the general fund gets low. 1t
has been the custom to keep on issuing
warrants, whether there was money in
the fund or not. I'm not going to do
that. No warrants will be issued for
officers pay out Of the general fund
after Jan. until tax money is re-
ceived for this fund to pay these sal
aries. ] hope that we will get enough
money for this fund before April to
pay all back salaries and clean up by
the end Of the fiscal year"
AS far as Is known all Of the city Of
fcers affected are satisfied with the ar
rangement of getting no salaries now
but drawing it all in one sum late in
the winter or early in the spring.
