HALL TOO SMALL.
horticultural Exhibit VIII Tax
State Fair Accommodations.

horticultural EXntDtt Will INK
State Fair Accommodations.
Secretary Latham, Of the State Hor-
ticultural society, called on Secretary
Randall, at Hamline, yesterday. Mr..
Latham says that the exhibit of hor-
ticulture at the fair this year will be
larger than ever The entries already
made will completely fill horticulture
hall, something that has never been
done before. Last year they had room
for the privilege man to use, but this
year they will be unable to help him
out. 1t may not be generally known,
but the Minnesota Society of Horti-
culture is the largest society of that
kind in the United States, there being
500 members. No other state has So
ciety half as large. The continual Wig
lance which the horticulturst has to
preserve in order to attain success in
the raising of fruits and berries in this
state, the constant experiments that
are being made along fruit-growing
lines, have drawn together class Of
men who are enthusiasts in the study
and whose faith in the fruit-produc-
ing attributes Of our soil and climate
has never faltered. That they were
right in their belief is shown when Mr..
Latham speaks Of a man down at
OWatonna who this year estimates his
apple crop at 1000 bushels. Mr.. La
than says that the apple crop of Min
nesota this year VIII amount to 1,500,
900 bushels.
The florists exhibit this year will be
just twice as big as 1t has ever been,
Mr.. Latham says.
Eight years ago the society occupied
one corner of the hall that they will
fill this year. If the exhibits increase
in the future as they have in the past
few years the present building will be
insufficient for their purposes.

Mayor kiefer's Police Changes to
Go to Aldermen First,

The communication Mayor Kiefer sent to
the board of aldermen Tuesday evening. in
which the changes in the police force were
announced. was recalled yesterday by his
honor from the clerks Office
The mayor intended that the aldermen
and changes In the force and was quite
surprised when he learned that no action
was taken by the members of that body,
communication from the mayor was not
opened for the reason that there was SOM
contention as to the number of votes Ie-
CURED to concur in the action OF the mayor
In making the proposed removals. Corporation
Attorney Markham had given opinion to
several that 1t required only majority vote
Of each body to make the removals.
To other members of the board Assistant
Corporation Attorney Taylor had given an Off
handed opinion that 1t would require a two
thirds vote Of each body to remove an officer
without any specific cause.
These two opinions seemed trihe varied
and as two of the members Of the board were
absent IT was decided to postpone action
In the regular course of business the COM
munication would have been held by the city
either of the bodies. This, however, was not
what the mayor wanted as he had been
assured that the assembly would stand for
any changes he might wish to make. AS
to the aldermen. however. he was rot so con-
fident, and desired to have that body have
the first chance at the guillotine order.
mayor had any idea the list of names would
leak out through the city clerks office that
the letter announcing the changes was recalled
and placed in a secure place IN the mayor 8
office.
Corporation Attorney Markham announced
yesterday that he no longer wavered, and, In
fact, had never had but one opinion to tho
votes necessary to remove police officer. To
show that his opinion that a majority vote
of both branches all that needed Mr..
Markham pointed to the following clause from
the charter:
''Any member or officer Of the police de-
partment who may be appointed by the mayor
may be removed by him from Office whenever,
in his opinion the welfare of the city demands
such removal. Provided that such removal
shall not take effect until such notice thereof
Is given to the common council, and action of
the mayor concurred In by a majority vote Of
the entire members-elect OF said council"
Mayor Kiefer stated yesterday that when he
sent in the list of changes in the police force
1t would be made public first to the members
of the council assembled for business.
The next meeting Of the board Of aldermen
will be held Tuesday evening, and at that
session IL there is a full attendance OF the
members the changes will be announced.

County Treasurer Edmund Com
pletes His Statement of the June
SettIcment-There Is "a Decrease
of $273,326.6I From the Figures
for the Same Period Year
Ago.

County Treasurer Edmund has COM
pleted the figures for the June settle
ment. The total as compared with that
of the same settlement in 1897 shows
decrease of 1926. which is explained
by the treasurer on the ground that
last year the law providing for a semi
annual payment Of the realty tax was
not in force.
The amount credited to the ST. Paul
Independent school district fund is
$l2O,2S0.89 for this year, as against
$150, 035.70, a decrease of $29,75481.
This is the particular account that
the council committee on school bud
get is interested in. Comptroller Nc
Cardy stated last evening that he had
not received the official figures as yet,
and consequently could make no esti-
mate as to the amount which the
school fund might receive during the
year.
The following are the figures from
the county treasurer.
