8 CJty Starch eom- moo council last uiKOt passed a reao- Ilitioy cutting down expenses, £ii6 first and wast important was one discharging $11 the employees and members of the flre department, from chief to janitor, retaining only one man to rare for tuft engine house and tbe city's two span of horses. Tbe city has one of the best water systems in the state, with electric flre signals, and many citizens condemn the council for thus leaving the city open to incen- diarism. The cause for cutting down expenses is the refusal of the Holt Lumber company and the Oconto oompany to pay the city tax, claiming they are not assessed according to valuation. It will take until next August to adjust the controversy. Meantime the city has no funds to carry on its expenses, nor can she borrow any mooey because the bonded debt bas reaehed its limit.

'The mayor refuses to sign any city warrants, and the "outlook for Oconto looks dark. There is a great probability of all the insurance companies doing business in the city cancelling their, risks, because they have no protection, although they pkyjnto the city treasury over 8400 an- ndally for fire tax. The city has been paying nearly S7000 yearly for water tax. and this expense is obviated by tbe council's action. The result, however, that in case of a fire there will be no water to use except'what may be obtained from tbe riyer by a single steam engine the city owns.

As there is no one to run it, however, this will be of no use. Thay solemnity ot oociwott nod change which now ihe 1 troduoed Mr, BaenBch, vho tribute to the Stoodminir administration. chair oC state rtfdhwo Owsajp. Baenseh pccnpies daring the absence of Gov. ScefleJd Washington.

Probably No In the "Ice Gorge," But There is a Large Body of Snow. There is a good deal of talk, about the possibility of high water this spring. The-sum and substance of it is that there is a great deal of some sections four the upper waters which are tributary to the Chippewa, and that, if warm weather and spring rains come there may be a heavy rise. This state of fact, however, furnishes no ground for alarm. As far as the notorious "ice gorge" is concerned there Is paobably no danger in it, notwithstanding the fact that a Chippewa Falls man wbxKwasiin Milwaukee the other day talked to, a reporter as follows: A.
