chairman Well of finance Committee
CT Council Reports That Revenues
During Last Year Exceeded Dis,
bursements by sl,o45,

That the city o. Pine Bluff spent
Sl,04o.44 less to run its affairs in
1914 than it received in the same
year, was the substance of 4 state
ment read at the council meeting last
night by Alderman Ben B. We'll,
chairman OF the finance committee.
The further fact that the CITY gov
eminent was operated in 1914 for
about $4,000 less than it cost to
operate in 1913, was also brought out.
and there was considerable pride
taken in the announcement that the
expenses Of the government fo, the
two years, 1914, were about
$4,000 less than the expenses for the
two years, 1911-12.
The outstanding Indebtedness OF
the city now is $159,31S.75.
The statement showing the expeu-
ditures by departments for 1913 and
1914, and which showed also the
amount budgeted to each department
for 1914, was as follows:

totals. ..... $7G,34S.S3 SS0,704S7
Other expenditures not carried or
shown in the above statement brings
the total of expenditures in 1913 to
something over $4,000, while all the
expenditures in 1914 are shown
above.
The amounts budgeted to each Of
the several departments for 1914
were as follows:
General and executive, s9,435;
water and hydrants, 1924; lights,
$1,000; police, $13,O65; fire $13,7Oo:
sanitary, $500; streets, $1,000, aggre-
eating $65,454.
TIE addition of many city lights,
employment of an additional police
man several times during the year,
and the expenditure of $4,000 for fire
hose, brought the expenditures in
those three departments above the
amounts budgeted, but except for the
fire department, each department
was below 1913 in its 1914 expendi-
lures.
The statement shows receipts and
disbursements of the city in 1914 as

That interest in the several matches
of the Champion Billiard Players

by the promoters of the affair, is the
statement made by the officers of the
league in an announcement this
week. The attendance at the matches
is larger than had been anticipated,

RATS TNFEST UNIVERSITY
 BOCNTY PLACED ON SCALPS

University of Washington, July 15-Pied Pipers are in demand at the University of Washington this summer. So infested with rats are tn ancient buildings on the campus especially the dornitories and those structures that were left from the Alaska Pacific Yukon exposition, that Bdrsar Herbert Condon has had to open a systematic war up- of the rodents.
 Clark hall, the woman's dormi- tory, seems to have attracted the pests ia particular, which may be an indication that rata have a sense of humoi. At any rate, so serious is the problem that a bounty of 10 cedts was offered to one of the staff of janitoTs for every scalp he obtained in that building. One girl who inhabited that "dorm" vouches for the story that one roomer awakened to find all infant mouse nesting in her hair.
 Bursar Condon says the rats came up from the government canal connecting Lake Washington and Union, after the construction camps were removed.
