ing balance on hand Of $S2S.37.
The school census just taken shows the
number Of children Of school age In the
district to be BIS, 400 males and rs fe.
males. According to the census Of last
year there were Is3; an increase Of 222,
or $50 per cent. This Is no basis on
which to figure the increase In population,
however, for the reason that large pro.
portion Of new comers have not yet
brought their families here to reside, for
the reason that II Is i'm possible to get
houses In which to live.
The number Of pupils enrolled In the
schools thus far during the present ses.
sion Is 247, Of which number 1873 are
males and I2o females. The average

1t will be noticed that both In the en-.

Notwithstanding the severe weather pre-.

departure of reinforcements from the Black
Sea to Russia's Asiatc possessions in the

The Manila Railway Co., Ltd, is in

amount to nearly 100000. The directors
were compelled to defer the payment of

Many cases of violations of this law
generally of custom, here, of statute as
well, have recently been noted in the
city press and these have resulted in
serious injury in some cases and in
narrow escapes frequently, that the
police have been INCREASINGLY vigilant in
requiring it's observance. The punish
ment of few violators will doubtless
have most salutary effect, but we are
led to ask if it would not be we'll for the
authorities themselves to set good
example and this we think they can
possibly, easily do.
In the main, the offenders are Asiatics
who in their own countries have been
made to observe the law there, which is to
turn to the left. These people constitute
the principal part of the street car travel
and finding here, that the cars take to
the left at switches may be led to that
way of turning in passing in the streets
in wheeled vehicles.
1t would not be a difficult nor an expen-
sive matter to have the switches arranged
to turn to the right instead of to the left
as now, and though we shall probably
have double tracks in short time, it
might help in the interval to have this
object lesson taught.
And, by the way, does anybody know
why the switches are laid to give left
instead of right turn?
