16 THE HORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1905. CITY'S BUDGET S SUBMITTED Deficit of More Than Ninety Thousand Dollars Must . Be Made Up.. HOW FUNDS ARE DIVIDED deductions in Fire, Tollcc and Street lighting Estimates "Will Proba bly Be Made to Meet the Situation. Estimates of -expenses of the various municipal departments for the ensuing year were submitted to Mayor Lane yes terday morning:, and from this data he will make up the budget for 1903. An analysis of-the figures Indicates that there will be a probable deficit of $91,285.34, un less steps are taken by the Council to re lieve the situation, although the esti mates this year are nearer the actual re sources than ever before known, there being a difference of 5240.000 last year. Provision for the impending deficit -will probably be made by reductions Jn the fire, police and street lighting depart mcnte. In which cases the appropriations asked for are considered sufficiently am ple to stand curtailing to some extent. The approximate expenses of the fire de partment for 1905 are given at 5196.0C7. while the estimates for 1903 aggregate J2S1.999, without Including the cost of new buildings and ground. Upon the basis of a 4-mIU tax levy on J150.O00.O00 valua tion, the Auditor estimates the Fire De partment's share for , next year at 5163,990. This year the expenses of the Police Department will amount to approximately ?120,3M, while 5147.501.50 Is the estimate for 3606. 2"he street lighting fund calls for an appropriation of 595,000 for next year, as against an estimated expenditure in 1903 of 569.383.07. Auditor Devlin thinks that the deficit can very readily be made up from these three funds without entailing any serious Inconvenience. Following are the estimates for the different funds: Expenditures Based on Estimates. Tire 5 Police Lighting Street repair................... Park fund Library Bonded Indebtedness Interest...

Harry Wheatley. recently arrived from Omaha, was found by Policeman Wade In front of Blaster's saloon. North Third street, about 10:43 o'clock last evening with a knife wound In his left breast, which, he says, hp received at the hands of a man with whom he had been drink ing but a few moments before. Wade took "WTieatley to the station; where his Injuries were dressed by Dr. Matsdn, and found to be merely flesh wounds, which would not have any seri ous consequences unless bloodpolsonlng should set in. "WTieatley claims that he invited a man to have a drink In Blazier's .saloon, and shortly after made his way to the street, and while passing through the Third-street entrance, the one with whom he had the drinks accosted him and attempted to put his hand in his pocket, and, upon being shoved away, the stran ger drew a knife and slashed Wheatley over the left breast. The police are inclined to scout the statement of the wounded man, and think there is more behind the stabbing than the victim has been willing to telL "Wheatley has been in the city for about three weeks, and has no occupation at present. He gave his residence as the Everett House. Fund for Miss Loubct. The more thoughtful have not forgotten one less fortunate than themselves, and contributions continue to arrive dally at the Oregonlan office. Miss Anna Loubet lies in the hospital here awaiting transfer to the French hospital In Ean Francisco. These contribu tions are to make that transfer possible. In the State House Inn fire .Miss Loubet not only lost all her worldly goods, but her health and part of life's happiness, for she fell and sustained a broken back! Hor relatives arc all In France, and It Is a duty of others more fortunately placed to help her in her suffering. Letters of sympathy Inclosing checks or cash are always welcome In this cause none better ever existed and the fund grows daily. The amounts received" yes terday were: Collected by :MIllIe Schloth, 51L75; H. B., 52, and G. J. B., 51, making a total for the day of 514.75. Insulated AVire Burns.
