In making the appropriations for the
maintenance of the several department!
for the fiscal rear ther city council found
that It wouM have fur the "emergency
fund." according to the revenue estimated,
$l,o. The financial report of City Auditor
McAneney for May, the second month of
the fiscal year, show that the appropri
atlon Tor the "emergency fund" has al
ready been overdrawn $507.90. despite the
fact that the statute expressly prohibits
the lKqln; of warrants against any fund
In excess of the appropriation. It la said
that the expense of the preliminary work
for the new central fire station over In
dlan creek at the foot of Bryant street '.
paid out of this fund Instead of out of the
bridge fund and this accounts for the over
draft at this early date.
Anticipating a revenue of $47,000, the city
council made appropriations to this amount
, for the maintenance of .the several depart
ments for the fiscal year. The report of
City Auditor McAneney shows that In the
flrat two months of the year fl9.S8S.S8 has
been expended.
lit the first two months of the fiscal
year there has been expended out of the
appropriation of $10,000 for streets and
alleys no lesa than $4,901.01. - leaving but
$6,098.33 for the remaining ten months.
For the fire and police telegraph fund
the sum of $2,000 was appropriated for Its
maintenance for the year. In the first two
months of this period, according to the
report of the city auditor. $677.74 has been
expended, leaving but ll.322.2d for the re
maining ten months.
Cksrt of Reekleaaneaa.
Said a city official yesteday, "the city
council appears to be entirely reckless In
Its expenditures this year, regardless of the
fact that It la extremely doubtful If the
the revenue upon nhlrh the appropriations
were based, will be realised. In the first
two months of the fiscal year already
some of the funds are In a badly depleted
condition, while on at least Is overdrawn.
This Is not as It should be, considering
that that It Is prolable that the revenue
will fall short from the amount antici
pated owing to the agitation against the
saloons. If th councllmen will look over
the books of the city clerk they will find
that about ten saloons owing to this agita
tion have already gone out of business and
It Is easy to figure out the loss of revenue
to the city from this source. Then again
the councllmen would do well to look over
the report of fines and forfeitures covered
Into th city treasury from the police court
ts compared with recent years and with
what they figured on when estimating the
revenue for the fiscal year. The condition
cf the finances at the end of the first two
months of the fiscal Is such as to warrant
the municipal authorities to 'sit, up and
take notice.' "

Sentiment of Conference Against lie
alrln Paatenrtaat Ion f Milk.
"It Is Immaterial to m whether the
milk Is brought to my house In a bottle
or In a basket, so long as th cows from
which It comes are tested," declared Mayor
Maloney, who presided at th conference
last night between th city officials and th
dairymen over th proposed milk ordinance.
"All cows from which milk is sold in th
city, whether by dairymen or Individuals,
should be tested for tuberculosis and th
owners compelled to comply with the sani
tary regulations of th Stat Board of
Health. Is all that ts necessary at this
time," opined City Health . Officer Bower.
"I do not believe It would be feasible
to requlr th pasteurisation of all milk
sold In th city, but I would Insist on all
eowe, whether owned by regular dairymen
or Individuals, be thoroughly tested by a
competent person." said City Physician
Tubbs.
The conference was attended by Mayor
Maloney. Councllmen Jensen. Morgan and
Skodrholm. City Solicitor Klmhalt, I"r.
Tubbs, Sanitary Officer Peter smith.
Quarantine Officer Macrae, Deputy Stat
Dairy Inspector Lenox, President Taylor
and several members of the recently or
ganised Palrymens' association.
The dlRcussion which, followed the read
ing by City Solicitor Kimball of the draft
of an ordinance, which he is preparing took
a wldo range and dealt with practically
every phase of the milk business and the
best means to ensure pure milk.
The discussion was more or less Informal
and while nothing definite was determined,
many good points for the proposed ordi
nance were obtained. Another meeting will
probably be held a soon a Mr. Kimball
has his ordinance completed and before It
Is presented to the city council.
As the matter now Is, the ordlnanc will
provide for the tenting of all cows owned
by dairymen and individuals who sell milk
and will requlr all persons selling milk
to be licensed.
