 Estimates of the city's expenses for the coming year will be among
 the important matters for the com
 mon council to decide at the meeting
 tonight as the city's new year be-
 gins with this meeting. During the
 last year, departmental costs have | been shaved to the limit so that the
 indebtedness, already at the limit al-
 lowed for the municipality, may be cut down. A further lowering of the
 running costs is anticipated by the city fathers for the ensuing 12 months so that the fiscal year, which ended
 with November may be beaten by the coming years record.
 Among the other important dis cussions will be the building code draft; the police department salary increase; erection of public comfort station and an overhead bridge con- meeting Pond and North Pond streets. Although the building code will be discussed tonight. no action to make it operative is anticipated for sev- eral months yet as a space of time is needed to make all changes satisfac- tory The police have asked for a salary increase because of living costs, | that aafl have the short end of the salary problem as compared with workers in other lines as the guardians of the law must have several sets of police clothes in addition to their civilian attire.
 The public comfort station will be another matter for which an immedi- ate future is not looked. although Its imperative need is readily appar- ent. Plans have been drawn up for the location of such an institution on the west side of Main street near the railroad bridge.
 The Pond and North Pond street bridge is being urged by the parents of the many children of that vicinity, who must cross dangerous railroad tracks in their trips to school and return.
 Speeders Beware
 Motor car speeders will be com pelled to remain within bounds in this city at least if the eagle eye of Motorcycle Officer James Burns de- tects any nasty driving, as a special model four cylinder motorcycle has been placed in his charge. The new machine has more powerful motor than the stock model machines and is a counterpart of the model, manu- factured especially for the Illinois state police. The motorcycle is guar anteed to be capable of d speed of 90 miles an hour, when the engine is properly worked in. The old twin cylinder machine is being overhauled and will be kept in reserve, tempo rariy.
 Fine Boxing Presented
 Seven rattling good bouts were pre- sented on the boxing card of Com. pany l., C. \. G., last night at the armory before a crowd of 900 fol- lowers of the sport. Three knockouts and plenty of action and gore in the other clashes sent the fans" home, well pleased with the nights enter tainments, the second Of the series being conducted by the local military company. The first encounter ran but a round when Aldrich of New Britain sent Cofrancisco into dreamland at the fourth punch. Robinson of Shel- Ias En fFrzalyz..s Friedman of Bridgeport in the second clash but only after two rounds Of nip and tuck lighting. McKane and French, both of Bridgeport fought a terrific battle with the former a shade the better so that he vas given the decision on points, in the third meet ing. The fourth contest brought to- gether Jumbo" Pratt, the local 1i2 pound marvel and Battling Mccarthy of Bridgeport. These two battlers mixed it up good and plenty, greatly ! to the delight Of the spectators. The l Bristol boy had the better of the ar despite the longer reach Of | his opponent and was given the de- i cision.
 Jimmy Clinch Of New Britain 1 showed the form Of a veteran and 1 scored a victory after one minute Of i lighting with Hosesnini Of Bridgeport, whose seconds threw in the towel aft er their man had been beaten to the floor under bsrrage of blows.
 Speck of Bridgeport knocked out Casey, also of the Park City. in the second round of their encounter.
 The last event between Jeanette Jf Bridgeport and Bender of New Haven, both 130 pounders. was a sorker. The men fought a fast bat Ile through the three rounds esched- nled. so that an extra round was needed for the decision. In the ex- ra session Jeanette gave the Elm city boy terrific punishment and easily gained the decision. He did not es- ape unscethed however. as his left .ye was ripped open by one of Ben iers ripping smashes. Honest John Willis was the third man in the ing and conducted the bouts in his isual efficient manner. Il
