vestigatfon of the records at the state
capitol and found that st. Paul was
the least liberal of any city in the state
which had special school district or
ganization, in it's treatment of the
schools. The rate of school taxes per
dollar of taxable valuation, he said, in
Little Falls was II mills, in Wabasha
IA, in Duluth 9, in Minneapolis 4, and
in st. Paul but 2.5. The average for
the state was 1853 This, he said, was
niggardly. While it was urged on the
other hand that the assessed valua-
ton here was proportionally higher, he
contended that the variance was not
sufficient to compensate for the pro-
nounced difference in rates.
The chamber of commerce, he said,
had recommended a bill giving the
schools of st. Paul one mill more in
taxation, but had attached to this a
proviso that the additional mill should
be for purchase Of sites and erection
of new school buildings, which, he
thought would be to the disadvantage
of the teachers, rather than a relief to
them, as with the completion of the
new schools, the teachers would have
to be increased with consequent re-
duction of salaries. He favored a bill
which should make the building and
purchase fund not to exceed half a
mill, if it was insisted that such a
proviso should DE made at all.
Some of the other teachers thought
the limit should be made or even 5
mills in order that it would not need
an early revision to accommodate the
growing needs of the schools One
said that the chamber of commerce
was dead, anyway, and the teachers
association would do well to go on it's
own behalf without paying any atten-
ton to the chamber Of commerce. This,
however, was not adopted, and Prof.
Denny announced that later in the
week the legislative committee would
confer with representatives of the
chamber, the Commercial club and
other public organizations
The discussion lasted until nearly
o'clock. and the meeting finally adj
journed, leaving the matter Of legisla-
ton still in the hands Of the COM
mittee.

The board of fire commissioners held
Its first meeting Of the year last even
Ing, when the following organization
was perfected for 1899: Kenneth Clark,
president; w. R. Tostevin, vice presi-
dent; j. A. Owens. secretary.
Chief Hart NJ Cook submitted his
annual report. lengthy document,
covering the detailed workings of the
department during the past year The
report showed the expenses of the de-
partment for 1898 to have been S1s4,-
7Ol.4s, while the allowance for the year
was S19O.0OO. Much Of the expense was
incurred through improvement in
apparatus. the equipment of a new fire
alarm system and the purchase of a
new engine. During the year there
were 659 fires, an increase of 173 over
1897. The aggregate and the average
loss for the year was lower than those
of any other twelve months for the
last ten years. The total loss on
buildings and contents was $159, 958.17.
For 1897 the loss was STA $685. With
lIS more fires the average loss during
the last year was $242.SS, as against
$301.73 for the previous year.
In value the buildings involved in
the $50 fires aggregated s1,762, 230. The
loss on buildings alone was $74. 6S2.60.
The loss on contents was $50, 275.57. The
insurance on buildings was 81, 1885, $50,
while the insurance on the contents
foots up 1856, 1O9.33, being a total in
surance involved amounting to $780,
1888. The fires were In LAT brick
buildings, 3S9 frame buildings, while
there were 149 other fires.
The department is at present COM
posed Of 1876 members, including officers
and men. The total payroll for the
year amounted to $160, 1927. In going
to fires 3,494 miles were Travelled, while
196,643 hours were put in working at
fires. The extra work Of members of
the department. such as carpentering,
blacksmith work and general services,
estimated at current wages, amounted
to S5,l49.5O, a practical saving Of this
amount.
Chief Cook recommends the erection
of an additional engine house ON Fair
field avenue. between Robert and Eva
street. where the fire board owns two
lots. The establishment Of another en-
CINE company on the West side Is
deemed necessary as protection to the
factories and warehouses on the levee.
At present every alarm from the West
side calls a company from this side Of
the river. There has been the most
perfect harmony in the department
during the year, Chief Cook says, be-
tween his assistants Chiefs Martin and
Irvine. and among the men. He COM
pliments Supt. Carey. Of the fire
alarm system, upon the efficiency
of this branch Of the service, also Elec-
trical Inspector Varnum and Master
Mechanic Wheeler. Chief Cook says
Chief of Police Goss and the police de-
partnent has been Of much assistance
to the department at fires.
Yearly reports were also submitted
by superintendent Of Alarms Carey,

and Veterinarian Berkman. All re-
ports were accepted and will go to the

Reported Yesterday After a Com
parisOn With Other Special
school Districts in the Cities of
Minnesota.
There was breezy session when the
St. Paul Teachers association met for
It's annual meeting in the assembly hall
of the Central high school yesterday
afternoon.
The officers were reelected as fol-
lows: President, Prof S. A. Farms
worth; vice president, Prof D. LANCE
secretary Miss Grace Sanders; treas
urer, Prof. j. G. Donnelly; executive
committee, Miss Nora Moran, F. c.. Mil
Ter, C. L. Caldwell. Miss Florence Perry
ana Miss B. M. Phelan.
The election was about the only top
ic that came before the association
that was not the occasion of a spirited
contention.
The bill for legal expenses in the
teachers salary test case recently in
court was audited and paid with COM
paratively little debate but when the
recommendation was made that the as
ISOLATION adopt the course of lectures
which had been arranged for by Miss
Sarah c. Brooks some animation was
CduS6u GIlHclpdI OCODnell, Oh the
Mcclellan school, objected on the
ground that it was establishing a bad
precedent. 1t would afford every teach
er in the association an opportunity to
go out and get some lecturer that she
or he might desire, and then saddle the
expense on the beard.
Prof Donnelly, of the German school,
also objected on the ground that the
proposition had not been recommended
Miss Brooks was complimented, how
ever. by number of the teachers of
her own sex and by Supt Smith, who
said that as far as he knew there was
no question of the high standard of the
lectures
IF Mr.. O'Connen will give us any
thing as good as Miss Brooks offers US,
We'll take, that, too" said one little
woman. Il think Miss Brooks is en-
titled to credit for the energy and in
terest she has shown in arranging the
course
So the association decided to take
charge of the lectures as arranged and
reimburse Miss Brooks for the expense
to which she had been put.
