CITY HALL EXPENDITURE.

 

At the meeting of the city
council last night
Kerr asked for a
of the expenditure
“City . Hall’ Publie
Works,” respectively. Tn
reply it was stated that the
city hall expenditure was
approximately $6,100 and
public works $5,700. In or-
der that the public may
thoroughly understand the
matter it must be explained
that of the $6,100 for city
hall expenditure $1,500 was
a grant to the agricultural
society and $1,300 the quar-
terly salary of the mayor
and aldermen. In addition,
$500 of this amount has to
be transferred to time
check account, being a pro-

When these deductions are

DENOMINATIONAL CENSUS

Be Confined to Congested
Portions of City.

A couple of weeks ago the Min-
isterial Assoication of this city
started the taking of a denomina-
tional census of the city, but find-
ing the task a heavier one than
they anticipated they have prac-

tically decided to confine the
census to the more congested
downtown portions of the city.

Up to the present practically all
of the city from McBride street
to Lynch’s and between the hill

back of Third avenue and the
waterfront has been taken. No
surunary of this has yet been

made. Although a complete cen-
sus has not been taken, the fig-
ures will be of some interest.

ARE LOADING COY
FOR LAST BIG SHOT

Spectacular Sight at at Dry Dock Is
Expected About the End of
the Week.

The last big shot in connection
with the clearing and filling for
the dry dock will probably be
fired this week. The work of
loading the coyote holes started
yesterday afternoon. It is esti-
mated that about 50,000 yards of
rock will be broken up by this
shot, which will be of about the
same proportions as the one at
Centre street which demolished
a portion of the freight shed on
the wharf. If favorable eondi-
tions prevail the shot will be
fired on Friday. For those who
have never seen one of Archie
McDougall’s big shots the sight
will be well worth witnessing.

the people on board the doomed

no efforts to seize the lines or

one man kiss his wife and chil-
dren, throw them overboard and
jump after them. They were

disappeared altogether. It was

uses and songs were just as
warmly received as on the last
occasion. Teddie McNamara as
Ko-Ko, the lord high executioner,
had ample room to display his
ability as a comedian and he cer-
tainly did his share in amusing
the audience. Leslie Donaghey
as lord high of everything else
was equally as good in his part,
while Nellie McNamara as Kat-
isha, in love with the Mikado’s
son, gave a splendid portrayal of
the character. The latter’s solos
were exceedingly well sung and
were loudly encored. The old
favorites, “Three Little Maids,”
“Here’s a How-De-Do,” “Oh,
Willow, Tit-Willow,” “The Flow-
ers That Bloom in the Spring,”
etc., were well received.

Military Aviator Killed.

(Special to The Daily News.)
Berlin, Oct. 14, — Lieutenant
Koening, the military aviator,

the board
to the es-

communication from
of trade in reference
tablishment of a permanent ex-
hibition of our natural resources.
It was stated in the letter that
the board had already a number
of exhibits and it was estimated
that the project might be financed
for about $500 for a six months’
trial. The board therefore felt
justified in applying to the city
for a grant of $300 toward it, the
public to subscribe the balance.
Alderman Kerr moved that the
application be referred to the
finance committee for report.

The mayor suggested that the
words “with power to act” be
added to the motion, as the board
of trade desired quick action.

Alderman Leek seconded the
motion.
Alderman Naden thought this

grant could well be made, follow-
ing the course taken by the
council in making a grant toward
the first annual fair. He said
that he himself had solicited and
obtained many of the mineral! ex-
hibits from Stewart and New
Hazelton for the fair, and they
were obtained upon a promise
that they would afterward be
used for a permanent exhibition.
If it were wise for the council to
spend money on an exhibit that
was to last a few days only it
