J Discuaslon of the budget of ex-1 penes for the next year was the! principal business of the council last! evening. Cpon the recommendation I of Councilman Murphy, chairman of the finance committee, an Item ol, $2500 was put in the budget for li- brary purposes, the same to be used as the city's share of maintaining thej Joint city and county library If the present differences are adjusted, otherwise to be used for the mainte nance of a separate city library. The appropriation for the police department a' recommended by the fi nance committee will be only $5600 as against $6500 last year. This re duction results from the saving of $1200 on the appropriation made a year ago, the figures of Chief Gur dane showing that the police de partment has cost cons'derably leu this year than last. The cemetery appropratlon will be increased from $500 to $800. A lively tilt occurred when Coun cilman Murphy reoommended against the purchase of an automobile for the fire department at this time, de claring that there Is no money avail able.

He was of the opinion that at the end of the present tax year, next April, a suit able car could be purchased. Councilman Phelps was of the same opinion about the standard of car to be bought but held out strongly for the 'Immediate purchase, declaring the protect'on of the Pty demands the extra equipment. Councilman Ell. chairman of the fire committee, de clared the recommendation for a $1200 car was made for the sole pur pose of killing the proposition and declared positively that a $400 car would suffice. The matter was held over until next meeting. In the absence of Mayor Rest, who attended the W. C. T. U. banquet. Councilman Murphy presided last evening. The ordinance defining a dimmer was read last evening but not voted upon. Concllman Phelps declared he would not vote for It or any other or dinance until some of the present or dinances are enforced.
