INDER, done is at LATURNEY'S "very hing o is done unde he BUDGET, ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. License Fees For Butchers Raised From $2 to $50-Several Amendments Offered and De- feated--What the Arguments Were, Pro and Con. A considerable amount of gas went to waste in the city council chamber last evening, The aldermen sat until the hour hand of the clock had just about covered the figure 1. The con- sileration of the badget occupied the members until ten minutes to twelve at which hour the report of the water works committee was taken up. At the appointed hour all the members, excepting Ald. Behan, were in their places; the last named wax absent on account. of illness. The budget was considered clanse by clause ani only two changes were effected, one replac- ing the sum of 8750 to the credit of the water works department for water supplied for fire protection purposes, and one increasing the estimated re- venue from butchers' licenses to $830 instead of 8100, so a2 to provide for the 8750 for the water works depart- ment. ---- Communications Considered.

Low, applying for position stenographer.--Finance committee, Madeline Campion, applying for position of stenographer and type writer --Finance committee. Warden Spoor, of county council, asking for explanation of delay in payment of the county's account, - Finance committee, of The Budget Taken Up. Ald. Walkem introduced the report of the finance committee, which com prised the budget of 1902, and moved ite adoption, seconded by Ald. Me Leod. Upon this motion the council went into committee of the whole, with mayor Shaw in. the chair. Ald. Tait took objection to the clause in the preamble recommending that butchers' licenses should he plac- ed at $50. That sum was too high. A high tariff, 830. had once before been exacted and it had proved a failure. The principal consumers of fresh meat are the working classes, who would have to pay the increased license fee. A high tariff would pre. vent competition and raise prices. Ald. Knapp took the same gronnd. The license fee should not exceed $23. In reply to Ald. Carson, Ald. Walk etn stated that the increased license fee was decided upon hy the committee because of a request by a large num- her of butchers, It would result in a hetter article being supplied, and' but- chers would be compelled to keep con stantly on hand a supply of whole: some meat. At present about forty merchants pay a fee of 82, amounting to 880. If twenty-five men would pay R30 it would be to the interest of both the city and citizens, that such a fee be exacted. Unaer the present svetem much unwholesome meat is ex- posed for sale. In reply to Ald. Tait, Ald. Walkem acknowledged that butchers had not MRANINNICs, (hd NOT TOOR--rTm-- Voars of age. The audience was gene- ous in giving encores and the com- in respondi the at the water carnival being specially good. But, the life 61 the omedy was "Flipper," the clever, rersatile comedian, Archie Dunn, who hopt the audience comvulsed with aughter when on the stage, his char- beter as a very small jockey and his piter ignorance of his duties as court: et to lord Coodle was very ludi- rons.

Allen Armstrong, who, in partner ship with John Pratt, has taken over the proprietorship and of the electric hgh Arms I f IL f5it F monopoly of any necssity of life. { of what was right, 2 ; petitionea council jor an ineregsed ficense fee. Ald. Carson stated that upon re port of the sanitaiy inspector aml market clerk, it was shown that all the merchants selling teat had proper places to keep it in. It was in ihe interest of the citizens that the fee be kept as at present; the workingmen are especially benefited. fa reply to Ald. Farell, Ald. Walk em stated that it was intended to bave about twenty-five licensed shops, Ald. Craig took the ground that the council had no right to credte a It was a matter the council could deal with at a future time. He woula be prepared to move that the clause be struck out, Alds. Farrell and King suggested al lowing the clausé to stand jor the time being. If twenty butchers would cone forward and declare their will ingress to poy a 850 fee, it would be tme enotgh 10 act then, Ald. Harkness stated that from the present time until about October there will be only about twenty or twenty five butchers doing business. After that every little gr very store will have a quarter of Ee and sell it to all comers. The speaker was of opin: fon that the 850 license fee would not affect the small shops; they could still huy their quarter of meat on the market and retail it. Ald, Sears pointed out that the in creased license fee would not prevent the sale of meat by farmers on the market, : Ald. McLeod expressed himself as in favor of the adoption of the clause as it stood and advanced a strong argu ment on this line. Alcs. Craig and Carson moved that the clanse referring to the sale of fresh meat be struck from the report, Ald. Farrell took the ground that ii the clause was adopted, the budget should be amended and' the revenue made to show an increase of 81,000 or more, according to the number of but- chers iicensed, The clause could very well stand over and be discussed at a subsequent meeting. Ald. Craig thought the clause should not have been inserted in the report. It was unfair to create go monopoly. The city could get twenty men to pay 850 each, or one man to pay 81,000. Strike out the clause and give the al dermen a chance to eonsider the mat- ter. He was not committing himself to a $2 or any jee. Ald. Carson thought that a strong reason why the clause should stand over was the fact that council did not know why the £50 fee had once before heen reduced to 82. Ald.Craig's amendment was put and 'ost on a small majority. The clause was thereupon passed. When the estimated revenue was be- ing considered, Alas. Carson and Far- rell took the ground that the fees from butchers' licenses should be shown to be af least 81.000. All es timated revenue should be shown. Ald. Craig took the same stand, and also advocated taxing hawkers much higher; they interforred with legiti mate business. Ald. Walkem warned the minority side of the council to save their wind and not to waste the time of the council, because they would only be defeated again. The revenue from but chers' licenses was only mythical. If there is to be an incremsed revenue from that source jet the money 'be ap plied to streets, Ald. Kent supported the contention of Alds. Carson and Farrell, that the salimated revenue should be shown in full, Alds. Farrell and Craig moved in amendment that the estimated revenue from butehers fees be increased from £100 to 8000, Ald. Parrell scorea Ald. Walkem for the stand he had token on the but chers' fees' question. It was most unusual for an alderman to support such a clause in couneil and saving in the same breath that when a by-law came up he might vote against it. Ald. Walkem considered that he had as much ability as Ala. Farrell, or hall a dozen Ald. Farrells, to judge Ald. Farrell was the junior of the speaker and it ill be- came him to criticize one who had greater and longer experience. Aid. Farrell retorted by saying that every aldérman was supposed to have ability to defend himself in council. It was the first time he had known an alderman to take refuge behind his grey hairs. Ald. Graham also supported amendment and attacked Ald. Wal kem for his stand on the question, Ald. Farrell's amendment 'was put and lost, the clause thereupon being carried. the Regardi the fair grounds, Ald Carson stated that $250 vas less than half of the sum required fo put the grounds in condition. The fences were in a very bad condition . It would cost $30 to $40 to construct a fence to enclose the proposed pound. Ald: Farrell suggested that £27 be taken off the salary of the caretaker this year, to be lied to the fence of - proposed Pocy HI there were only five cows impounded last year, an increase, of $195 would he very substantial to the salary of the, care taker, suggestion was not acted upon. Ald. Graham objected to the chief clerk of the city engineer's depart ment receiving an increase of $50 in salary. It would not be amiss to al low him to warm the chair for a Year or so before increasing his sal ary. For a young man $60 was net a bad salary. Ald. Farrell pointed out that only a year ago-the clerk had received an increase of $100. While he was a water sppplied for © fire protection purposes. The parties who wse water are being taxed to supply water for protection | purposes to all eiti zeus. He moved, seconded by Ald Carson, that the budget he amended #0 as to provide $750 for the water supplied for fire purposes Ald. Carson pointed out that it 'would require close figuring to fin ance the water works department this year, and the 37530 was hadly needed. That sum merely represented the in terest on the money invested in hydrants. The department alreadyr sapplied free 13,000,000 gallons of water for street sprinkling and other purposes. Ald. Tait supported AM. Carson's stand that the $750 ought to be paid the department, Ald. Craig took the view that as the council had all along fostered the water works department, and =~ was accountable for its mainténance, the city as a whole should benefit from any profits that might arise, He fa vored the cutting off of the $730. Ald. Farrell came to the defence of the department and made & strong claim for the amount in question. A new main would be required this year and the money should be paid the conmmitiee, Ald. King pointed out that if the $750 was eut off, a deficit would ensue which would mean an increase in the rates, Ald. King's amendment was put and carried on a close margin A: motion of Alds. Graham and Knapp, that the city clerk's salary be placed at $1,100, was lost on a division of nine to eight. ; Ald. King objected to $25 being tnk- en from the usual grant to the or phans' home. He moved, seconded hy Ald. Harkness, that the grant to the orphans' home be placed a: $200 as in past years. It was pointed out by Ald, Walllem that the finance committee had méere- ly tried to equalize the usual grants to charities. The arphans' home was almost self-sustaining and was worth at least $30,000. The amendment offered by Ald. King was declared lost on a vote being taken. Ald. Graham presented an amend- ment, to the effect that in the event of there being a deficit in receipts of the fall fair, $500 be paid the associ- ation, Ald. Hipson refused his name to be was opposed to a grant to the fair association. The resolution not being seconded, was not put. Alds. Walkem and McLeod moved the adoption of the budget as amend ea, Ald. King wanted the $730 provided for the water works' committee, Ald. McLeod thought it time that the water works' department con tributed something towards the gen- eral revenue of the city. Ald. Carson thought the budget ought to go back to the committee to provide for the deficiency. He felt sure that if the committee looked carefully into the budget there were places where it could be pared down. If a mdn wanted an increase in sal- ary all he had to do was to ask for it and council voted for it straight. The difficulty was overcome by Alds. Farvell and Walkem moving that the revenue from hutchers' licenses be placed at h Ald. Craig characterized this tion as "butchering the budget." Ald. Carson still maintained that it was an irregular proceeding; the bud- get should go back to committee. Ald. Graham also strongly opposed the adoption of the amendment.

CRUSADE AGAINST CITY FALL MARRIAGE BUREAU. New York Street Railway Pension System--The Fzd of Wearing Low Shoes in Winter. New York, March 14.~Now that the chief ohjeet of public interest has van ished in the departure of prince Hen ry of Prussia to his beloved fader land, New Yorkers are turning their attention to the various political matters that are rapidly coming to the front as forerunners of the coming gutumn campaign. Up at Albany leg islators are debating bills prepared by the city club and Brooklyn inde pendent republican organization pro viding for direct nominations at pri maries, thus abolishing party conven tions. Brookfield bill restricts the aet to cities of 1.000.000 or more inhabi tants. The idea of the city club's bill #5 that the nominations for local of- fices in New York and the election of delegates to national and state con ventions shall he made by direct vote of the enrolled electors of the several political parties. It is not likely that in this year of important state elec tion, the legislature will adopt such a radical measure as this. The politic: ans can generally eontrol the conven tions under the present system, Under the proposed system they might find it difficult fo control the nomina tions, . The medical mén of New York and surrounding cities have not as a rule, put any substaotial amount of faith in. the alleged willingness of the Brooklyn physician who last month gained world-wide notoriety by offer ing to sacrifice himself to experiments of vivisection fo} the sake of science; so that announcement sent out by Dr, James Russell to his patients and fel- low practitioners declaring that he never made the "preposterous" offer, and that the only foundation of truth in the "sensational publications ori ginated in a private letter under a nomi de plume" is not a surprise. The original letter from Dr. Russell in which he offered to submit himself to medical science, was received by the Brooklyn Eagle, considered one of the most conservative papers in the east Undoubtedly the crusade against the city hall marriage bureau which president Cantor is leading is warrant od by the facts, for there have been flagrant abuses there, but if the bu reau is abolished New York's famous lower east side will miss it. There are solemnived' on an average 1,800 mar riages a year in the dark basement room called the "bureau" and fre quently city hall loungers are furnish ed with a picturesque scene, The best patrons of the establishment ave Ita liane, but couples of all nationalities and ranking from the nobility to peasantry have wedded in the bu- reau. Only a few days more and the fam- ous old Grand street store of Lord & Taylor will be closed and the building converted in to a Hebrew theatre I nearly half a century Grand street was a centre of the retail trade, but its glory has departed. It has only been a few months since the big Ridley store there was closed and with the going out of existence of the Lord & Taylor establishment another of Gotham's land-marks is destroyed The 115th dinner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick will be given here on Monday evening next. United States district attorney William Mi- chael Bryne, of Wilmington, Del., will speak and mayor Low will answer for the city and bishop Conaty, of the Catholic university, for "The Day We Celebrate." Governor Odell had pro- mised to attend, but being in mourn- ing for his mother, has cancelled his social acceptances. The new system of offering city bonds as required by the revised char- ter is a success. Heretofore, bonds could be allotted in bulk to syndi cates offering to take "all or none" at a specified price. No all or none bids are permitted and bonds, now are allotted to the highest bidders, regardless of the amounts bid for. In or len, McCammon, McFarlane, McLeod, Sears, Tait, Walkem, White.-- 14.
