10 PERMANENT BURDEN.
..The appropriatlon made BY the state
will not be n permanent burden upon the
state. In 1905 the old debt Of the nsu-
tuition will be wiped out for which we
pay now into the sinking tund the sum
Of S722O annually. This amount can De
saved to the state. Then, again. the Oni-
versity Is the rcslduary legatee or inc
Austin bequest. amounting 20 S65eo. TINS
amount will become due al the deatn OF
lady who IL now forty-hve years old. AZ
that time the state can be entirely re-
lleved from this appropriation. The worst
time for a reduction Is the present one
because We have spent large sums IN the
new buildings and equipments ana there
is reasonable assurance that a decrease
In the expenditures on the part Of the
state can be made IN seven years, but az
present we must ask for an appropriation
OF $4,000
When questioned by Mr. Withrow. Mr..
Jennings. OF Lynchburg. and other mem-
bers Of the committee. Or. Barrineer
said: since the fire we have received
from the Fayerweather fund tho sum OF
si0i 0l9 but two years ago. from what
can learn nothing was said before the
committee that this legacy would be used
TO pay back the amount borrowed on the
bonds.
This was confirmed also by Mr.. Boaz,
who added that two years ago such state
ment was made outside Of the commit
tee.
When asked by Mr.. Jennings. DIR. Bar
ringer said the losses caused by the IRE
had been as follows: The old rotunda
from s65 0o0 10 $4,000 the annex about
$4,000. books from $4,000 70 $4,000. physl-
cal apparatus from $4,000 20 $1,000. maxi
ing a total loss of about S2l50O. on which
there was an insurance Of only $4,000.
because the institution could not ahord
10 pay q higher premium.
The restoration of the various buildings
cost at least S400 600. and the insurance
was now $4,000 on the old buildings. and
$4,000 on the new buildings. Since the
fire the University had received the fol-
loving amounts. Two hundred thousand
dollars for the issue Of bonds. $6.OOo in
various donations $4,000. q donation from
Mr. Rouss: $3.50 from Mr.. Coolidge for
the carving Of the marble capitals Of the
columns I'm the rotunda.
DISPOSITION OF THE MONEY.
Colonel Thomas n Carter. the proctor
of the University and superintendent OF
the grounds and buildings. said his salary
was g go and he gave bond of $4,000
He then read the following statement
showing how the appropriation Of $4,000
made by the state. has been expended:
From the $4,000 annuity to the Uni
versity of Virginia 10000 must be first
deducted as fixed charges whether the
nstution be closed or operated. This Il
shown as follows:

market to extend the reaction which has been
In progress during the week, when the prices
suddenly and vigorously took an upward
turn, and 1t was a runaway bull campaign
for the rest Of the day There was an enor-

Transit, the grangers and few of the lead

and dormant stocks, however, distinguished
strength In the great speculative leaders.
The advance was made in the face of several
Incidents, any one of which would have been
seized upon to raid down the whole list in
