The Board of Aldermen of the Town of Clifton met in regular ses. sion last Monday night. with Mayor Minson presiding, and all aldermen present except Aldermen Gamble and Cotey. Alderman Miller was again at his post of duty, and took up the routine of business, manifesting the same interest in the city's affairs as before,
 Besides the aldermen, Marshal Young and Attorney Lynch were al so in attendance.
 The session Monday night was de void of pyrotechnics, and while the body was little slow in getting It's bearings, only business featured the deliberations.

 The body then took up for consid- eration the -191S-19 budget for the city expenses, which was adopted be- fore adjournment, but lengthy ses. sion was necessary to finish this work. The budget carries an appro- priation of $47,663. Some depart. ments are reduced, while others are increased. The increases are large ly in paying better salaries. Most of the employees who were affected are entitled to larger salaries by req son of the increased living expenses i it was claimed.

INDOOR BASE BALL GAME PROTESTED
DISRUPTION OF CLIFTON'S iN-
 FAINT LEAGUE THREATENED
 BY PROTEST PENDING MEcHAN lCS MAUI RAlLROADERS.

Interest in the indoor baseball games now being pulled of at the Y tennis court continues. In fact the interest has become so intense, and so like the big league games, that even the life of the Commercial league is threatened, if not the life of the umpire. This disruption of the newly organized Commercial Indoor Base Ball league is jeopardized by an appeal now pending before the exc cutive committee, and highly inter- esting developments are expected. If you are not spectator at these games you are missing some of the thrills.
 On Monday night the league was opened with a game between teams representing the General Office and A. c. Store, the latter winning by a thrilling play in the ninth inning, by a score of 12 to Il. Immediately fol- lowing the umpire's decision the game was protested by the losing nine on the ground that the umpire's decisions were all incompetent, ir- relevant, but highly material to the General Office nine." W. E. Waldron has filed a scrap of paper" denounc- ing the umpire, which will no doubt, be torn to bits by those who guide the destiny of the infant league.
 Prior to the first game, represents tives of the various departments fore. gathered amicably to organize a schedule of games, adopt set of rules, and for the election of officers and arbitrators. Messrs. Farrahay Wassem and J. F. Carmichael con stitute the committee which will de eide all disputes. Compared to the | difficulties which lie in their wake the work of those diplomats, who will some day organize the league oi ! nations, is mere child's play.
 They will, however, have little diff culty in crediting the Mechanics team with overwhelming victory over the Railroad team, played Wednesday evening, as the play was so one sid ed as to permit no question of rule or technicality.
 It is to be hoped that the flu. schedule of games can be played te the end that the championship ol this vicinity may be thereby estab lished. Large audiences gather every night to watch the games and lister to expert opinions on an umpire'' character.
