PARRY NEGLECTED MAKE PROVISIONS TO UPKEEP PLANT So Council Last Evening Had To Appropriate $45,000 for The Maintenance of the Institution.

PROVIDE MONEY FOR THE NEW HOSE HOUSE

After Council Had a Dispute as To Whether Hose Wagon or Fire Engine Should Be Placed in the House.

In the preparation of the 1910 budget of expenses to operate the city, which was prepared by former city controller, Webster Parry, he only forgot to make provision for the small appropriation , of approximately $45,000 for the municipal light plant, so at last evening's adjourned session an ordinance was passed on third reading providing for. the maintenance of the plant. In addition this ordinance also included an appropriation of $1,200 for the equipment of the west aide hose house and 8150 for the office expenses of the county treasurer, who acts as city treasurer. However, Mr. Pary's' oversight is known not to be intentional and furthermore it did not work a great hardship. The money will not be drawn from the city treasury funds, according to city controller E. G. McMahnn. The appropriation is necessary only as a business proposition. Items of Expense. The plant, which had an exceptional year in 1909, and promises to make an equally good record this year, will meet its own expenses. The items provided for in the appropriation ordinance include, $1,500 for salary of superintendent; $14,000 for pay roll; $15,000 for coal; $475 for oil; $2,300 for repairs; $700 for office expenses; $3,000 for miscellaneous operating ex- ' penses and insurance; $8,000 for wire, meters and sundry equipment and $25 for water right. In respect to the additional appropriation for the west side hose house for which $4,000 has already been appropriated, there was considerable discussion. President Hammond of the board of works gave the following detailed statement as to the cost of the equipment: 1,600 fct of hose for $1,000; fire wagon, $1,800; team of horses, $500; harness, $40; blankets, $14; wheelbarrow and curry comb, $10; gong and indicator, $225: fire box, $125; tower striker, $375; bell, $300; four beds furnished, $80; 12 chairs, $43; dresser, $12; hats $2; weight for striker, $36; saddle, $10; magnets for stall doors, $7.50; two stoves, $20; making the total probable cost, $5,196.50. It appeared for a time as though the ordinance would be laid over, because of the attitude of several of the councilmen favoring the purchase of a fire engine instead of a hose wagon. Not until it was explained by Chief Miller that even if an engine was purchased, the city would have to have another hose wagon, did the balking Councilmen consent to the passage of the ordinance. Councilman IJartel was one of the number who favored the fire engine. Councilman Williams favored a fire engine equipped with its own motive power. The administration wishes to have all equipment purchased by the time the hose house building is completed, which will be about April 1, and it is for this reason that the ordinance appropriating the required sums was passed last evening. The motion of Councilman Knollenberg that the rules be suspended and the ordinance placed on its passage, was acted upon in a unanimous manner. Another ordinance but less important was that of fixing the bond of County Treasurer Albert Albertson, who also acts as city treasurer. He receives payment on street assessment improvements and the city must be protected. Council fixed his bond at $10,000, which calls for an annual expenditure of about $40 per year on his part. It is probable that the city will pay half of this amount. Mr. Albertson felt that he should only be required to give $5,'000 bond. Solicitors for the gas companies, the water works and electric light companies will have to be provided with a badge In the future, in all probability, in order to gain access to private homes. Councilman Williams recommended that city attorney A. M. Gardner draw up an ordinance, to be presented at the next meeting, to this effect Williams said that any thug might, under the present system, en-i

ter a home by saying he represented some company and while In the house could learn whether it would be worth while to burglarize it. The water works company's employes wear badges.

ACKNOWLEDGE IT. Richmond Hat to Bow to the Inevitable Scores of Citizens Prove It. After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Richmond given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same work In other cases. Read this: Miss Sarah Hamilton, 27 N. Ninth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "About eight years ago I began to suffer from acute pains in the small of my back, sometimes extending into my shoulders. I had an idea that my trouble was sciatic rheumatism but finally after suffering for about two years, I found that my kidneys were disordered. I at once procured Doan's Kidney Pills at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store and soon after I began their use, I noticed an improvement. I continued taking this remedy until I was free from my aches and pains and in much better health." (Statement given July 14, 1905.) On December 12, 190tf, Miss Hamilton said: '"I still believe that there i nothing as effective as Doan's Kidney Pills in relieving kidney trouble. I am just as willing to recommend this preparation now as 1 was two years ago." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States.
