Up to Them.

I'm connection with the inventory for
Aug. I, 1900; it is explained that the
valuation of the Irvine raw material on
hand at that date is lower than the cur
rent market value at that time, but it
was taken as a basis of estimating the
profits of the institution, as it was
what in the best judgment of the board
was a fair price, fibre prices for some
time having been raised by temporary
causes, chiefly the war in the Philip
p:nes.''
The inventory on hand Aug. I, 1899,
plus the expenses of the entire year up
to Aug. I, 1900, amounted to $685.

Aug. I, 1000, plus the amount of sales

1.-THE year just closed, it is gratifying
to state, sees the department self-sus-
tanning. The deficiency of almost
$4,000 in 1899 has been turned to
surplus, small though it be, of $o2o.27
in 1900.
"Going back to the birth of the de-
partment in 1885, but one year has ex-
celled this in the number of cars
weighed. That was the big crop year
of 1897. I desire to say, too, that while.
the number of cars weighed curing the
past year was 12,1o7 more tnan during
the previous year, still the expense
account of the department was less by
$4,26o.45. To be more explicit, the
year ending Aug. 41, 1899, showed an
expense to the department of $57,338.68,
while the year which closed Aug. 81,
1900, showed an expense Of $53,o6o.23."
An example of the increased strict
ness and general efficiency achieved I'M
der the present administration is shown
by the statistics of the weighing de-
partment Minnesota export wheat is
weighed out at Duluth and weighed in
on arrival at Buffalo, the other end
of the lake route. Comparison of the
Duluth and Buffalo weights, therefore,
shows the accuracy of Minnesota grain
department officials in weighing. The
following table tells significant story.
The loss in pounds per 1000 bushels
for the past seven crop years follows:
Crop - Loss per
year. 1000 Blu.
1894 INSTRUMENTATION. ...35 lbs.
1895 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 80 lbs.
1896 .................... 80 lbs.
1897 .................... ..H IDS.
1879 Iast Republican yea5). ~ lbs lbs.
In other words, the loss in weight
during the Republican administration of
the Duluth department ranged from ~
to 36 lbs. per 1900 bushels, as against
the bagatelle of 8 lbs. under Governor
LIMBS new regime. The average loss
in six years of Republican administra-
ton was IS lbs, which is three times
that of the first year of the new control.
This shows that the new broom sweeps
clean in weighing as in inspection,
while being less heavy burden upon
the taxpayer, and a source of far great
er justice to the producer and general
business public.

Water Rent Case Decided.

The court heard the appeal
case of the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen VS.. Charles w. Ross
and Henry Williams, owners of
the Hotel-Bdrgess (now Park
HoteD. The case was tried be-
fore Justice Biser some time ago,
and he decided for the defen.
dants. The court sustained his
decision. Chief Judge Nc.
Sherry, in his opinion, said:
"The city has the right to look
exclusively to owners of property
for the water rent and can refuse
water except upon contracts
made with the owners. But
where property changes hands it
is necessary for the city to have
new contract with the new
owner. In this case the deien-
dants had no contract with the
city to supply the water to the
hotel property, and therefore can
not be held for the rent. There
can be no question as to the
power of the city to make the
regulations under consideration,
and there is no trouble with the
system, but the difficulty has
been occasioned because the or
dinance has not been properly en-

A Disgraceful Place in Fred
erick.

Judge Stake, of Hagerstown,
deserves the thanks of his people
for the order which he has issued
to the Grand jury of the county
to see that the city is put in a
thorough sanitary condition.
What of our city2 Have we any
cause to be apprehensive about
the health of the citizens of Fred
erick during the hot days of sum-
mer? Let any of our officials
walk to the old Bantz Tannery
and inspect the watts filled with
putrid water, dead dogs, dead
rats and enjoy the horrid smells,
and then ask if there is any need
for an order to clean up in Fred
erick. This disgraceful spot has
been inspected by the Grand
Jury and the court knows of its
existence. If we have a Health
Officer he should know of it, and
somebody should act in the mat.
ter at once. Let the Mayor call
on our City Health Officer, and if
he has no authority let him go to
the courts. Our Grand Jury will
not convene until September and
all kinds of diseases may become
prev alent before then. We un-
derStand time to abate the nui-
sance was given until the prop
erty was sold. 1t has been sold
and it is time for some action to
be taken. Our people have been
patient about this matter and pa.
thence has ceased to be a virtue.
Action is what is demanded now,
and action at once.

Condition of Grain and Grass
Crops.

In nearly all districts the con-
ditiOn of wheat continues to be
reported as most favorable, the
only exception being in Allie.
ganey, where the frosts were sui.
ticiently heavy to give some fields
a yellow look. There is a general
promise of a good crop, however,
and heads are beginning to show
in st. Mary's County, where
the first harvesting usually takes
place. Crimson clover suffered
with the wheat in Alleganey
County, but holds up well in
O.her districts, although it has
not so successfully withstood the
dry weather as the latter crop.
Timothy has suffered more than
either from lack of moisture, and
it is feared that the yield will not
be up to the earlier expectations,
unless warm refreshing rains fall
soon. Pastures are below the
average in all sections on ac.
count of the dry weather. Oats
are doing fairly we'll, but it has
been too cold and dry for their
rapid growth. Rye looks prom
Using and is heading out in North
Central and Southern Mary
land. Flowing of corn land pro.
crossed satisfactorily during the
week; the greater part of the
crop is now in the ground, and
the earlier paintings are up. The

until favored with gentle rains.
Cut worms are reported numerous
in many sections, and in some
places their ravages have caused
inferior stands.

VERY HIGH BID.
So the Commissioners Consider
the Lowest Figure For the
New School Building, $780,
50O-No Further Action so
Far.

A few days ago the county
commissioners opened the bids
for the building of the proposed
new Female High School, for
which plans had been prepared
by Messrs. Wyatt and Noting of
Baltimore, and the lowest figure
for which it could be constructed
was $26, 500, or $500 in excess
of the amount agreed upon bv
the board. 1t is said this bid
does not include steam heating
apparatus, for which specitica
tiOns had been submitted by one
firm for about SO. 900, this making
the total cost for these two items
alone S32, 800. The amount for
heating seems greatlyexaggerated
and it is said could be gotten for
half the above amount. So the
matter stands in a very uncertain
condition with prospects of it be-
ing abandoned altogether.
1t was stated by a person con
nected with the public schools
that the bid of $780, was not
an exhorbitant price for the kind
of building designed by the arch
fleets. He thought that if the
board were in earnest about
building the school they would
arrange for new plans based upon
the amount they desired to ex-
pend.
Some action should be taken at
once, as the need of a new build
ing is conceded and demanded
on all sides.
