eressional harping on liquor ENFORCE
ment such as was dinned into the ears
of Mai. Edwin B. Hesse, and no oonus

He has been variously praised and

At the moment Maj. Brown Is ousy

There is a reduction Of $59,ol9 in the
salary appropriation, all OF which VIII
probably be met by retramlng from
filling vacancies. At this time there
are 20 vacancies on the regular force,
on the crossing police force and 8
in the civilian force BY July /, through
retirements, there will be 20 vacancies
on the regular force and on the cross
ing police force. Since salaries OF the
crossing policemen are paid by street
car companies, it will be possible to
meet part of the reduction by transfer
ring four regular officers to the street
crossing force.
During the fiscal year it is expected
that there will be enough separations
from the service through retirements
to make up the balance of the short
age. In the civilian force, however, 1t
will probably be necessary to furlough
two employees indefinitely.
There will be no new purchases OF
motor equipment, due to reduction OF
s12,220 In this appropriation, and Sc
we're economies must be practiced to
make up reductions Of s9,2l0 in con-
tingent expenses and $1,000 in the ap-

tions, gained the statement from Nc
Math that he and Cyril had been
mutual friends working for common
cause"
McMath said he had once said to
Cyril "if I could only get my girl back
there isn't a thing In the world I
wouldn't do for you"

June. This figure was obtained
to-day at the Office of the assessors
as they made ready to compile
their figures for the 1884 tax coll
lection records.
The fact that 1000 property
owners failed to sign their lists for
1888 IL not out Of the ordinary,
1t was stated. The percentage 10
about the same. Those who signed
and those who didn't will be taxed
on the lists now on record during
1893.
However, those who didn't sign
will be taxed 10 per cent on their
assessors to add 10 per cent valua-
ton to all property on which no
lists have been signed during June.
Nevertheless, the addition will
not be large, as far as the grand
list Is concerned. q perusal OF the
lists Of the delinquests showed to-
day. Most of the delinquents own
pianos or other musical instru-
ments, jewelry ana cheap autonno-
biies. The 10 per cent penalty,
when added in each case, will
amount to only few cents or a
dollar or two in taxes.
Out of town property owners
made an extra effort this year to
comply with the law and sign the
lists, the records show. This Is due
to the fact, 1t is believed by the
assessors, that the out Of town
owners of local property are
striving to save as much as they
can, while in good times they did
not worry about a few extra dol
lars on their tax bills.
