The board of education has acted very
wisely in deferring the sale of the Dodge
street school house. While it is true
~iectionable, the board should not lose
sight of the fact that three or four hun
dred children whose education the
board is in duty bound to provide for,
reside in that part of the city. Children
exposed to the. virus of vice in their
surroundings at home cannot be con-
tamlnated by attending school in a dis
reputable neighborhood. People who
occupy tenements next door to dives are
not likely to vacate them because the
school house is abandoned. If the
school house is sold their children will
either be kept out of school altogether
or be compelled to walk a great distance
to school houses that are already over
crowded. Is
The proposed location of the city and
county Jail in the Third ward will not
have to be abandoned because the Dodge
street school house is retained for school
purposes. ANY number Of lots as con-
~veniently located can be bought by the
city and county.
The only thing in the way would be
a lack..of funds. The city certainly has no
money.on hand for its proportion of the
purchase price, much less for the con-
struction of a Jail. But even if the
money can be raised by the sale Of the
last lot which the city owns there is no
need of rushing things. The rent
which the city pays for its present quar-
tiers in the exposition building will not
be reduced by removing the police court
and Jail, and those quarters will not
likely be vacated for two years. Viewed
from a purely business stand point the
proper course for the board Of education
is not to abandon the Dodge street school
house until provisions have been made
for accommodating the'children that are
now taught in that school. The proper
course for the city and county authori-
ties will be to procure and provide the
means for purchasing grounds for a
JOINT city and county prison and GRIM
inal court building, substantially con-
structed. Let them invite proposals
for such grounds, with an option of
three months, and when plans and esti-
mates of the cost of the building have
been secured, they can determine
whether or not they will be in condi-
ton to carry out the undertaking with
the means at their disposal.

THE ways and means committee are
having a parrot and monkey time of it
in discussing Mr.. Mills bill. The first
''spat' was between Representativ We
Scott and Representative Reed, and was
very funny indeed. But the novelty
has worn off, and the greater part of
the committee on either side is getting
~ill-tempered. While there is a good
deal of chattering there is very little
progress, and the bill will be pretty
well scratched and clawed by the time
1t is presented to the house.

This Year,s Assessment.

Douglas county's assessors yesterd ay af
ternoon took full possession of the rooms Of
the county commissioners and laid out theil
work for this years assessment. The stat
utes were consulted, maps looked over, and
figures debated. There was a slim turnout
of tax payers, and only one suggestion was
made. That was from Schuyler Wakefield,
who argued for an assessment the sam as
that of last year.. This the assessors did not
consider equitable, and resolved among them,
selves to tack on 10 per cent over that of last
year, thereby making the total valuation at
between $1S,O 900, 900 and S19,O 900, 900.
