Paul has a group of republican assemblymen which is determined to save the city some money and they are apparently in position to dictate, altho they are In a minority. They refuse to approve the financial budget for next year, unless certain items are cut. It is argued that the city engineer's emergency fund could be cut from $30,000 to $15,000, that $10,000 could e.asily be taken off the courthouse and city hall maintenance fund, that 000 could be saved on the waterworks extras. The republicans are. willing to accept $5,000 increase for the St.

Paul exhibit at the world's fair, but insists on saving $50,000. Omaha Calendars for 1904. Ttye popular business calendar issued every year by the Omaha road is jiow ready for distribution.
