MAY HAVE TO Be CLOSED
Institution for the Deaf and
Blind in a Serious
Predicament.

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept 29.-Superin-
tendent Wilkinson OF the State Institu-
tion for the Deaf, Dunn and Blind is in
q quandary as 10 how meet the require
ments Of the appropris ton bill passed by
the last Legislature. Ibe superintendent
asked for $40 800 TOR salaries and $40 0 %
for maintenance, but the Legislature
turned the figures arc nd and gave
$40 600 for salaries and $40, 800 for main
tenance
Il cannot believe" he said this evening,
that the Legis azure made the change
purposely. l do not think they would do
so cruel a thing, for if only $40, 900 is avail
able for salaries the institution Will have
10 be closed.
This IS an educational institution and
consequently the amount needed for sal
aries is greater than the amount required
for support. The children at IN e instltu-
ton have not only to be ted but also to be
taught.
However, I am inclined to believe that
We can draw upon the support fund for
salaries Of some of the employees. The
salaries ol the bakers VINO make The bread.
for example, come under the head OF sup
port, for payne MT iOr their work is Just as
much an element OF support as the cost OF
the flour. Ii the Board of Examiners will
lake LOlS view OF the matter We can pun
through all right, for the $4,000 which
viii be available for salaries wall be just
sufficient tor The salaries OF the superin-
tendent ana instructors"
