I AL liJYn W acenwHng to the published statement, was $3,368.49. He ali from a late decision of the Supreme Court, wherein that court Idlittattihe city could not issue bcMfeds and thus ten get years time in which to pay its share of the coat of improvements, but the law required that the city pay its share of the cost in cash as soon as the improvement is made. The city attorney was present and listened to these statements and when ■pwrtiriiifid by some of the Council, admitted that the law had been correctly stated. The statement of the amount cf funds on bands was not controverted, except Councilmen Eger said that since that statement had been published, the road fund had been reduced from $721.70, as shown in the published statement, to S9O thus reducing the amount of funds on hand that much. Admitting these statements to be true, where is the money to come from to pay what the city will have to pay, in case these proposed street improvements are made? The city attorney, when interrogated by one of the Council, said that the city could perhaps incur an indebtedness by issuing to the contractor certificates of indebtedness, or by issuing ordinary city bonds. Is there such an imperative necessity that these preposed street improvements shall *be made at such an enormous expense, that it is necessary to not only use all the money in the city treasury, but bond the city in order to raise the money necessary to pay the city’s part of the cost? If all the city funds are spent on these improvements where is the money to come from to keep the other streets and sidewalks in repair, and where is the money to come from with which to pay the ordinary expense of the city? Is it not about time that the conservative members of the city council take hold of this matter? Why is it necessary to make such expensive improvements? The streets can be improved and made good for all practicable purposes at about one-third the proposed cast. Citizen.

Letter From Joe Hordeman. Joseph Hordeman, who is now with his regiment at Luzon Islands, writes his sister Mary, under date of March 16, as follows, the letter being received here April 20: Dear Sister Mary—As a boat leaves Manilla to-morrow with mail for Hongkong, China, and then makes connection with an- | other steamer for San Francisco, and as mail does not leave here | every day, like it does at home, I and our letters have to go to China first, then to Japan, then to Hono-1 lula. then to “Frisco,” Cat, unless | a steamer leaves here direct for| Frisco—just think how far our f letters travel before they reach yon? But they get there just the j same. I think I have every letter sent me —so I thought I would write you a line or twdfcl not to give you any news, but to I let you all know that I am welO and that everything is quiet at j present. -’O 1 We are still holding our littO that we took on the sth of Feb.l Of course there is never a day| passes but that some part of the | line has a skirmish with the in-a surgents, and with little succeeds in regard to advancing our linettm We are laboring under great diffill culties, as the “niggers” lay in th«| thickets and we have to hunt tbeOM out. 1

We haven’t got near enough! soldiers here, and very little artjlil lery, and only three dO mounted cavalry. Altogether the®aa are about 30.000 here now aihfl only a few more on the way, so aayß opinion is that we must wait longttß for more help, and another disad-J vantage is the rainy season anl the heat, which is comrae'ita&ff® now.
