BOSTON AND THE FRANKLIN FUND.

Boston, June 8 (SpeciaD.-A new point has been
brought before the trustees OF the Franklin Fund and
this Is whether Boston Is entitled to all the money
or only Il portion Of II. Benjamin Franklin, In his
WILL gave to the Inhabitants OF Boston, CT 900. which
was TO be loaned to different persons, and from to
10 per cent interest charged. lie estimated that in
100 years the fund would thus Increase to 100000.
when the managers OF the fund to lay out In
pnblc works about @5OO.O the balance. 400 900,
to continue on interest for another hundred years,
when IL was estimated That |. would amount 10
"a. cOO. 900. or this 100000 was to be at the
disposal OF the people Of Boston, and the balance to
be bc paid to the Government Of the state. But
Frankllns figuring was not exactly correct. The
fund now only amounts to between $3OO,0 900 and
300 900, instead OF 100000. Treasurer McCleary
thinks that the city h not entitled to all the money
rs Franklin clearly indicated In his will That he de-
tired a portion to remain OH interest for another
