Subsequent to the compiling of the foregoing report there has been some increase from the city tax levy, and there remains still due from that source approximately $45,000.
 The question of finance occasioned considerable discussion. Councilman J. R. Willis, who Is chairman of the fi- nance committee gave out a warning note, declaring that the council In their anxiety to take up the interest bearing warrants that were out, had used certain portion of the Federal license tax money, that technically be- longed to the school fund. This he said would have to be restored out of the tax collections from the city levy, Mayor John Reck said that this would be easy as there was a considerable amount of taxes due that should be paid in during the present month.
 Tin chImneys to Go.
 Councilman F. WollRnd brought up the subject of tin chimneys and the matter was thoroughly discussed. The Heidelberg fire yesterday was reterr. ed to as having been occasioned by an overloaded tin chimney. It was de. cided that the ordinance demanding the construction of chlmneys of brick be enforced.
 OiseusS Fire Department.
 The fire department was discussed informally. No action was taken on account of the absence of Chief Mil. ton Vim from the city. It was the general opinion of the body that the problems of the department will be settled satisfactorily. Mayor Reck de- clared that one of the greatest things to strengthen the usefulness of the de- partment would be the acquisition of the combination hose and chemical auto truck that is wanted by the de- partment.
 Auto Ordinance Pa8sed.
 The ordinance regulating the use of motor cycles, bicycles, auto trucks, au. tomoblles, and other vehicles, was passed The ordinance carries a pro vision for licensing auto trucks with sliding scale adapted to the tonnage. The ordinance. provides for license numbers to be exposed on the rear of motor vehicles, and City Clerk Pet. tit was authorized by subsequent res olution to order fifty numbers for pres ent use.
 Routine Matters.
 Current bills were audited and or. dereG paid.
 A bill for $5,OOO worth of lumber, used in construction of Wllloughby ay- enue and general street repair was held up pending auditing.
 The bill of SS for hauling ashes from the city hall was also held up pending investigation.
 Councilman c. w. Fries. offered for himself and others to do the labor necessary on Kennedy street if the city would furnish the lumber, and the council agreed to the proposition.
 F. J. Wettrick asked for sewer con- nection from Sth to 9th on Golden Belt avenue. He agreed to put the sewer in himself if the city would con- tribute $50. Mir. Wettrick's proposi- ton was accepted.
 E. R. Jaeger asked for fire hydrant on 9th street near Dixon and was in- formed that this section was provided for in the city plans.
