TOO LARGE A FUND.
County Schools Have an Embar-
rassment of Riches.
FOUR MILL TAX NOT NEEDED.
With Licenses the Revenue Would Be
100000. where $4,000 IL Esti-
mated to Be Sufficient.

The King county schools, outside of the
CITY. will be in excellent condition tor the
coming year, as they will have to their
credit about 100000, if the school law is
taken advantage of. The property valua-
ton. subject to county school tax, is
about $25,OOO,OO0, and the minimum
school tax is set by section 16,
chapter 127, laws of 1891, at 4
mills Besides the 100000 thus derived,
there will probably be $4,000 more re-
ceived from fines, etc. The increase of ex-
pense for the county schools is very
notable. For the year ending July 81,
1889, it was $31 ,449, and the following year
it was just about the same. $3l. 056; to July
81, 1891, it has been about $5i 900, and next
year will probably be $4,000. although
five districts have been included within
the city limits. 1t is proof OF the
settling up of the country.
The county commissioners, accepting
the estimate of Superintendent Pussy
that probably not more than $4,000 will
be needed for the current year, are dis
posed to ignore the provision in the school
laws as to the minimum. The school law,
approved March 81, 1880, provides
that the county shool tax shall be not
more than ten mills nor less than four, but
the revenue and taxation act which
became law by failure of the governor to
veto it, provides that the tax shall not be
more than mills. specifying no minimum.
As ~ or 3 mills will be ample, the county
commissioners feel disposed to limit the
levy to that amount. 1t is not quite GER
tain that they may legally do so, although
probably no taxpayer would be found to
resent their act if they give him the bene-
fit OF the doubt.
In 1890 there were only eighty-eight
school districts; at the beginning of 1891
there were 10l, but these have been re-
duced to ninety-six by the absorption into
the city of No. Is. Green Lake and Ra-
VIENNA; No. 81, Salmon Bay; No. 49, Ross !;
No. 66, Fremont; No. 80, Latona. 1t is
not probable that any new districts will
be created this year The supern-
tendent's idea is to extend the
school term little longer into the year;
but he can form no plans until the state
board makes its equalization and the
county commissioners make their levy,
which will probably not be done until
November.
The following statement shows the con-
dition of the fund of each district, as
shown by the financial report of the year
ending June 80, 1891:

PUPILS IN SCHOOL.
Circus Cut Down the First
Days Attendance.
BIG HIGH SCHOOL INCREASE.
Indication Points to Very Large Attend
ance and Crowded Buildings-Reg-
istratfon by Departments.

The opening of the public schools yes
terday was sadly interfered with by the
circus, the attendance at nearly all of the
different schoolhouses being considerably
less than it would have been had there
been no diverting influence. Only short
morning session was held, so that the pu-
pills who did go to school did not have to
stay away from the show on that account.
Superintendent Barnard's Office was a
very busy place all day. Supplies were
being sent out, and the telephone was
kept ringing so vigorously that Miss Terry,
the stenographer, had to neglect her work
to answer the calls At the schoolhouses
there was more confusion than at the
superintendent office. Three thousand
children were hurrying and scurrying
through the halls and in and out among
the desks. while as soon as they were
seated they were impatient to be out again
to see the parade The teachers were all
at their posts. Owing to the short session
it is hardly right to put the real opening
of school as yesterday. for in all proba-
bility today's sessions will see big in
crease in attendance.
The approximate attendance at the
several schools was as follows:

not showing the assault to have been as
brutal and uncalled for as was at first re-
ported.
Utley's statement was to the effect that
on Sunday while sitting in his house at
75 Tenth Street he heard his 5-year-oId
son crying in the yard. He went out and
saw the Hill boy, who is or years old,
s'apping his boy. He told the Hill boy to
get out OF the yard. and when he refused
to go, sent his own boy after his buggy
whip, hoping by that means to brighten
the Hill boy away. The boy came out
with the whip, but before ne could give it
70 his father the Hill boy hit him in the
lace two or three times and then ran away.
Utley's blood boiled, and Selling the whip,
ran after him and gave him two or three
sharp cuts on the legs. He said he did
not chase the boy over eighty feet, and
only struck at him two or three times.
The court held that by his own statement
utiey had been guilty of an assault, and
assessed the fine at $40.

Wrestling were present. The chief matter
of interest was the discussion of the Ia
coma exposition. Mr. Graves reported
that the county commissioners had prom
ised to appropriate $500 for the expense oil
King county's exhibit, and that money
would enable the Chamber OF Commerce
to repay freight charges.
Secretary Dodge said that the commit
tee having the matter in charge had met
with poor success.
Senator Forrest expressed belief that
the manufacturers and business men were
not looking at the subject in proper
light. The exposition company was try
ing to make state exhibit, not local
one, and so the merchants and manufact-
urers here should view the enterprise in a
broad-minded way.
The following resolution, offered by Mr..
Graves, was then carried:
The trustees OF the Chamber of Commerce,
recognizing the importance and advantages of
securing n requ site display of the agricultural,
horticultural and mineral resources, the manu-
featuring and trades of this county, respectfully
urge all interested to assist in every way posi-
bic to the making OF this exposition representa-
tive in every particular and successful To this
end the board pledges its best efforts.
Thomas w. Prosch was appointed to
represent the chamber at the exposition,
tn aecurp eY hihitS and look after fhe inter-
ests of the exhibitors
Colonel {. NJ. Sheafe and Percy w.
Rochester were appointed committee to
see what rates can be secured for an ex-
cursion to Tacoma on Saturday-Chamber
of Commerce day at the exposition. They
will report at the meeting of the chamber
tomorrow night.
At the same meeting the revision of the
city charter will be discussed.
In accordance with the vote of the cham
Der at large an assessment of $40 on each
share of capital stock, payable in thirty
days, was levied, and members delinquent
for six months in assessments or dues were
suspended.
Colonel c. M. Sheafe, of the transporta-
ton committee, reported that it seemed to
them unadvisable to urge the raising of
the fare from Portland to Seattle from $40
TO $3.50. The latter sum is the fare from
Seattle to Portland.
DIR. Levi Gilbert was gwen the use of the
rooms of the chamber for reception to
Bishop James n. Fitzgerald next Saturday
night.
l.. ID. Ross was added to the standing
committee on the National Educational
Association.

day visited the Duwamish dairy to make
inquiry regarding the advance in milk

1t was not until after the joke had been
kept up for some minutes that one of the

away, looking very disconnected, while an

July 26 and went to Detroit, where he re-
manned three days at the national encamp-

brought out winter clothing and overcoats,
causing more suffering from cold than is
known on Puget sound in midwinter.
