Mr. Chittenden for tho past week hus

whole thins rlguied out. Mr. KHIer to
whom he submitted his plan acted us

adopt their (dees. There was a little
kicking now and then w hen wme par
ticular locality or some prt project Buf
fered but the Ielder.'i of the ax re
ntatntd firm and by their refusal to
bridge one way or the other subdued
ull opposition.
That they had to do some very close
figuring Is evidenced by the fact that
got under the limit by a bare margin of
JHO.'t.'. There was po particular at
tack made on any one department but
everywhere that it dollar could be pared ,
oft', nflr It came. All luxuries were
trlven the cold shoulder and only atiso- !
lute necessities were treated with any '
kind of consideration. Several clerk- i
idilps were made to Buffer, one by total !
unnlhllation und others by paring of j
remuneration. i

The first attack wes made on the city '

The J;;on for repairs to Hast mountain ;
road nnd the .$l,iiti) for repairs to North
Main avenue were ulso blotttd out. The
SI.ocu f.-1 aside for u retaining wull on
F.ust Market street was cut down to

for which contracts have expired. The
j Item of 2.W0 for general repairs on

cut from $l.uut to tSOO. The appropria
tion of $fi()0 to provide substitutes for

The Increase allowed nt a ' former
meeting to the crematory employes wus

saved. The Jll.OtW piiase tnohey lor
the crematory lot wna cut out and $l"0
for another year's Interest on the money
was supplied. The incidentals of the
board of health were shaved down from
$400 to J"U'.
Instead of the tU'.u.M asked for by the
public library. $ lit. 602 was allowed,
which Is the u mount of last year's ap
propriation plus the Insurance.
It was on the park appropriations
thut greatest cuts were inude. In the'
Nuy Aug park estimate the item or
J4,0,"S was cut down two-thlids. Pro
vision had been made for two policemen
ut $000, but only one was allowed. The
$iira for ii lundscatH gardner wits cut

tlntated would be needed tor the Inii- I

down to $14,000 despite the waring of
City Controller Wldnniyor that the city

I the discussion was on concerning the j
cleaning of asphalt pavements the pres- j
em system of sweeping wns ipiite gen- i
! erally condemned anil the Hushing sys- !

to cut the appropriation from $11.1100 to
X,0oo, alleging thut $1,000 u mile was
I siifiiclent for Keeping pavements clean

with hint, however. j
! The committee came within an ace of j
I doing awny with the orllce of captain of j
; police and lu-ovldtng for an extra pa-
. trolmitn with his salary, thus e-onomix-'
lug to the extent of $100. Mr. Chitten-

he ugreetl lo ado.it some other mcun-i '
; of saving tin $100. untl uftef lool.i!it; i
j ubotit. found that the Itetn of $20!) for
eiiulpinetit of police could be cut In two. '
! Mr. Latter fought hard fur the abolition
: of the captaincy, saying thut It was
un ornamental otllce and the Incumbent
! should be put on u bent where lie could
: do some Rood. He said he did not wish
; to criticise the present captain of po

i as his sinecure rloefi not t:lve him an

nut In a hard fight against the rutting

While the general butchery was In
