Loan of $4,000.

Mishawaka's tax levy will remain a
I the same rate as last year. S1.25 ac-
cording TO the ordinance fixing the
rate. which was passed at the special

figures are almost the same as those
affixed to last years tax levy.
The ordinance appropriating fl
nances to the various departments OF
the city was also passed. The budget
totaled $S1, $40 and was submitted by
Mayor Gaylor after having been care
fully considered and investigated by
City Controller Walter MichaelS and
Councilman T. w. Kuss, chairman OF
the ways and means committee. The
recommendations for appropriating
funds by the various department
heads we're comprised last week and
each was submitted to the controller
for his revision and approval. The

partment totals for this years appro-
priations: Board of public safety,

board of public works received the
heaviest appropriation, but under the
head of this department comes the
street, and engineers departments,
city hall, park department and public
water and electric service depart
ment. The public water and electric
department secured the largest por-
ton of the entire budget for an indi-
vidual department, getting S1S,65O.
Another important ordinance was
passed to allow the city the right to
enter into a short time loan for $1O,-
600 until the next tax finance receipts
will be turned over to the city. The
loan is for the purpose of tiding over
the city for general expenditures dur
Ing the next 50 days.

Monday evening was for the construc-
ton of a sewer Jointly with South
Bend on Logan ST., between the new
bridge and w. Joseph st. The limits
of each city border on this street and
the cost of the improvement will be
so per cent to each city to be paid by
the property owners benefited along
the line of improvement. The ordi-
nance was recommended by the board
of public works which at the Monday
morning session passed a resolution
ordering the construction of the
sewer.
All rules were suspended in the
action of each Of the ordinances and
all were passed from first to third
readings and adopted.

TELL OF SLAUGHTER

but if we suffer reverseS we shall let
the people know. If we win victories
we shall let the people know.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the president and his ministers as to
our final success. Every engagement
in which the enemy suffers loss only
Weakens him the more. The Germans
are far from their main base. We
were brought closer to ours by falling
back upon French soil. Our losses
were heavy. but so were the Germans.
I'VE expected a fierce onslaught
from the foe and were not surprised.
The latest developments show that
Germany has taken the offensive along
the entire line from Brussels to Swift
zerland. We are content to remain on
the defensive for the present But
our time is coming"
Army Has Many Wings.
Developments of the last "a hours
have shown that the German left wing
extending from Luxembourg TO Swift
zerland, comprises three armies. They
are the army of the Moselle, led by
Crown Prince Frederick William, the
army OF the Saar. led by Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, and the
army Of the Rhine, led by Grand Duke
Albrecht of Wuertemberg.
The presence Of these three armies
in the German left wing indicates that
the main assault on France will be
made for Luxembourg, Metz and Strass-
burg. Part of the army of the Mo-
selle Is operating with the army Of
the Meuse about Namur and Mons,
but the main force is moving straight
south and southwest, apparently aim
ing TO strike for Paris between Verdun
and Vouziers.
Fierce fighting continues along the
Vosges mountains where the French
troops are resisting a steadily increas-
ing force of German soldiers. 1t is
impossible TO state the position OF the
French forces or their numbers, but
il is permitted to say that the posi-
bility of q massive attack on the
northeast frontier had been fOreseen
and provided for.
That the attack down the valley Of
the Mouse and toward Lille was
movement intended TO conceal the
real aim OF the German general staff
has been suspected here for some time.
This suspicion has been practically
confirmed by the discovery Of the
fact that the main army OF the Mo-
selle is pressing down about Longwy.
On the Lorraine border this fighting
is still going on.

terday confessed to the murder OF
Helen Wood Smith. the New York
girl, today begged the authorities to
shoot him.

BUDGET IS HELD
UP BY REQUEST
OF PARK BOARD
Members Say They Could OBJ
tain Better Results by Hand
ling Own Wholesale
Market Again Delayed.

The wholesale market proposition
and the plea OF the parl. board Cor an
appropriation OF $1,000 for next year
marked the principal business OF the
council last night The park board
request was heard first. but no action
taken, il being decided 10 take the
matter up in a meeting OF the coun-
Gil committee with the park board
and the board Of works present. The
! wholesale market project was again
referred back. this time 10 the COM
mittee on streets and alleys.
Pres. Green of the park. board
made the principal talk for the re-
Quested appropriation. He said that
the nine cent levy provided for In the
budget. is not enough TO cover the eX-
penses arising in the park delnKt-
ment He said the park board did
not request an additional $1,000 but
wanted the appropriation taken from
the regular $50, 900 appropriated 20
the board Of works for the city light
ing Ii was held that better work
could be done towards obtaining
lights for the parks and boulevards
if the park board had more power in
the handling OF the funds Mr. Elbel
followed Mr.. Green and said that the
board really did not get a nine cent
levy in view of the fact that about
$500 or $4,000 was expended on
yearly payments on land leases. In
truth he said the park board only
gets about a six per cent levy.
The councilmen felt that they could
come to a better understanding OF the
matter if a meeting is held at which
both the park board and board Il =
works are present to thresh out them
differences.
Refer Market Proposition
The wholesale market ordinance
appeared in an amended form where
by it was provided that instead Of
providing a place under the COlfaX AZ.
bridge for II, one should be made on
Colfax av. between Main and Michi-
gan SITS. The clause to charge a fee
was also stricken out and it amended
to make stalls free.
Councilman Hagerty objected to tho
wholesale and retail market being to-
gether and believed they should DO
detached. The site on COlfax av. he
held is too close and suggested some
place as South st. or Lafayette ST.
He moved that the matter be referred
to the committee on streets and alleys
which committee is then TO report To
the committee of the whole. II was
held that a better site could perhaps
be found.
The tax levy ordinance was referred
to the committee OF the whole which
will meet in special session Friday
night. The ordinance for appropria-
tons was adopted and referred to the
committee OF the whole before action
is taken. The city treasurers report
was adopted and referred to tho com
mittee on ways and means. The
budget report was adopted as was the
controllers report
The muffer ordinance was passed
certain OF the city's streets.
The city treasurer's report showed
a balance on hand OF 1854, 30O-2S.
The total collections were $500
05O.17. The total credits in orders
redeemable amounted TO $55, 1889.
