A Trustee en- the Chart Question.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

- trustee Gu Inc SnaTt GueSIlCu.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please allow NE space in your
columns to say few words concern
ing the chart question.
If all the trustees were treated 8
my to,rd were I think we would be
perfectly justi6able in refusing to
pay for them. When the agent came
through my courtry the first time he
did not see either one CT my board
and in few weeks he came back
and said he had missed our school
when he first came through and said
the County Superintendent had seIt
him back and showed US a recon.
mendation from the State and County
Boards Of Education, and having no
sample we bought on their recon
m udatioo. But we found afterwards
be had lied about the whole business
We then tried to countermend th.
order, but the chart came anyhow,
but lot according to his contract.
His contract was to send the chart
and four maps, but only one map
came I have had tie opinion of
some good teachers on the matter
and they thought $40 big price for
tie outfit in common school.
We would like to hear from the
balance of the trustees who bought
charts. A Trustee.

Tie TaAa,n.ter 2 Success.

The statement is confidently made that tue taxameter, or cab-fare indi- cator. will quickly be introduced in all the civilized cities of the world. It appears that in both Berlin and Lon don. where the taxameter has been adopted, it has been as popular with the cabbv" as with the fare. The reasa11 this surprising fact is that this S@s .g q. automatic fare indlea- ton e..ts ive.y and permanently ln- creases l,.e number of fares. Many persons object to ride in cabs because of the possibility of an altercatlon with the driver as to the amount Oi the fare when the trip is ended. All that is put at an end by the taxame- ter. which shows, in plain sight, the distance trayersed and the fare to be paid. Consequently more persons are riding in cabs today than ever fede before. and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent. The taxameter also enables the pro prietor to control and check the daily ESGeIplS anu SilSiSll19 VI kAAs e
 ] or the distance covered by it. More over. since the apparatus calculates l the fare on the basis of the distance covered, the driver earns his money quicker according to the rate at which he drives. a system equally profitable ; and agreeable to both passenger and driver. It is said that the cab pro- l prietof who has once introduced the fare indicator can and may no longer conduct his business without it. In Berlin. where the taxameter introdue- lion at first was strongly opposed by masters and men. $500 of the city,s $500 frst-elass cabs are now fitted with them The cab proprietors pay 3125 a month fey each instrument
