EARNINGS TAX INSERTED
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE AMENDS
MANHATTAN ORDINANCE.

The assembly committee on streets held
another meeting yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of considering the ordinance
granting to the Manhattan Light and
Power company franchise to extend it's
plant poles and conduits on the public
streets. The committee had requested at
Its last meeting that the representatives
of the Edison and Manhattan companies
remain away from the meeting, but At
torney Phillips and A. w. Zahm, repre-
senting the Manhattan company, were
very plainly in evidence. Chairman AL
brecht said he was busy with the new
charter, and could not possibly remain
during the meeting. Assemblyman
Thompson sent word that he was obliged
to go to Minneapolis on business, and
the assemblyman did not show UP. Messrs
Kirke, Nelson, Denny and Benson, how
ever, decided to go ahead, and the amend
ment of Attorney Phillips, which was de-
feated at the last session OF the commit
tee, was taken up and ordered inserted
in the ordinance. The amendment pro-
vides that the Manhattan company shall
pay a gross earnings tax, no amount
mentioned, annually whenever the other
companies doing the same kind of busi-
ness shall begin to pay the same
Another amendment, proposed by Mr..
Benson, was to the effect that the city
should be granted rights on the poles
erected by the company under the ordi-
nance. These amendments were ordered
sent with the ordinance to the corpora
tion attorney with Instructions to redraft
the measure with them included.
The committee then adjourned to the
clerks office, where a call was issued
for special meeting of the assembly to
be held this evening.

FOR THE RURAL SCHOOLS
THERE IS MUCH OF INTEREST IN
LEWIS ANNUAL.

The advance sheets of the eleventh bi-
ennial report: of the department of public
instruction, compiled by State Superin-
tendent Lewis, shows a number of inter
esting articles. Jon rural school architec-
ture, art in the school room, improve
ment of school grounds and Arbor and
Bird day manual.
Foremost in the part of the report given
to rural school, architecture is number
of valuable suggestions upon the con-
struction of country school houses, with
plans for a model one-room school
house and also plans and specifications
for one7rOon log school house, pre-
pared by Charles r. Aldrich, of Mime
apolis. ;:1-
A half dozen cuts also represent the
style of architecture employed in the
construction of rural schools, drawn by
p. H. Mead, of Lansing, and approved
by the Michigan department of public in
struction.
: Missouri however, probably leads in
the matter of having the best model one
room school building. A cut and plans
for this building are also printed in Mr..
Lewis report. 80
The school grounds are treated in a
separate chapter, illustrated
l. c. H0dgson contributes a chapter
upon Arbor day, giving aids and sug-
gestions for its observation in the schools
Several model programmes are outlined
and list of readings appropriate to the
days also included. Mrs. A B. Whit
ford tells how the school room can be
made more beautiful, and appeals more
strongly to the scholar by leaving in
dellible prints upon the minds Of stand
ard works Of art, the reproductions OF
which can be secured at a very low fig
ure.

school, contributes an essay on BIRD

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
GOV. LIND SO DEsIGXAFEs FRIDAY,
APRIL 20.

Gov. John Lind yesterday issued a
proclamation naming Friday, April 20, as
, Arbor and Bird day. The proclamation
is as follows:
THE work of building our great COM
monwealth, of which we are so justly
proud. has been facilitated in no small
degree by the riches Of our forests They
have furnished the material for the
homes of our people, employment for
their industry, and an abundant return
for their capital and labor. But we have
felled more than we have planted. We
have used more than we have provided.
1t is apparent to all that the time for
outstanding this, as we do our other
great resources, has arrived. We can
not restore the forests, nor shade and
shelter the prairies at once, but we can
make a, beginning We will never have
intelligent forestry until we have an in
telligent appreciation of the beauty and
value of trees. To insure this, we
must begin at the homes, in the schools
and with the children. And now that
spring has come, throbbing with life and
promise, our people can, and trust will.
make this beginning by planting trees
and Shrubbery to shade and beautify our
homes, our public grounds and our high
ways. L appeal especially to the teachers
of the state and to the pupils In our
schools to take up this work. and to in
sure It's continuance as a patriotic duty

JUSTICE CANTY'S QUEST
HE IS INQUIRING INTO THE PHIL
IPPINE HEMP SUPPLY.

Gov. Lind, when seen yesterday by the
e. confirmed the statement that has
been abroad for some time, that Judge
Thomas Canty, Of Minneapolis, is now in
the Philippines as the special agent Of
the state board of prison managers, with
view to contracting for manila and
sisa1 for the prison twine plant
Further, however, the governor would
say little. Judge Canty, soon after retiring
from the supreme bench, left for the Phil
ippines. His expenses are to be paid by
the prison board, but his services are
rendered gratis.
1t is not likely that any twfne will be
brought from the Philippines until next
season, even If the board decides, after
giving Judge Canty,s report a careful Pc
rusal, to buy twine direct from our new
possessions. 1t is quite late in the sea-
son, and from now on nothing but sisal
twfne will be made at the prison.
The statement has been made that 1000
bales of hemp could be bought in Manila
and laid down at Saltwater for 11%
cents per pound or less by 2 cents than
the New York quotation. Gen. Reeve, In
an interview, state that many grades Of
good hemp are quoted in the New York
market at a variety of prices, so that it
would be difficult. until a full investiga-
ton was made to determine If cents
could be saved per pound by buying d.
rect and at the same time secure a good
quality OF the raw material.
Gen. Reeve says that one important
thing to be considered Is the amount Of
money that will be required to carry out
that plan. The cost of hemp or sisal for
the years product of the prison twine
plant is In the neighborhood of $$1, 900, ,000
1t requires about two months to bring
a. cargo from the Philippines to Still
water.
James J. HiH, OF the Great Northern
railroad, Is giving the prison authorities
the benefit at his suggestions on this sub
ject, and more especially as to the ship
ping facilities that would enable hemp
to be shipped quicker and cheaper by way
Of the Pacific than the Atlantic

PAYING WORK DELAYED
GAS COMPANY WANTS A LARGER
MAIN IN HARRINGTON AVENUE.


The contract awarded to the Barber
Asphalt Paving company for paving with
asphalt Harrington avenue from Summit
to Nelson avenues Is likely to be delayed
in its completion. The st. Paul Gas COM
pany has notified the city engineer that
1t desires to substitute larger main on
the street, and the paving work cannot
go ahead until this is done. J. B. Rob
bins, formerly manager for the Warren
Scharff company, has transferred his
services to the Barber company, and the
men who have been laying asphalt for
the same company will do the work for
the Barber company, under the three
contracts which have been let to 1t. The
paving blocks are being taken up along
Harrington avenue.
The wooden pavement was laid In 1888
at cost of $1O,SSO and the asphalt pave
ment with ten-year guarantee. which
is to be put down. will cost $lo092.

BUY
COUNTY TO GET THE MONEY
No Refundment to BE Made to Rec.
ord Owner, No Matter How
Much the Property
Sells For.

The forfeited tax sale which will be
held next month to clear up the tax rolls
of every county in the state of taxes de-
linquent prior to 1896 is attracting a great
deal Of attention and generally resulting
in the taxes being paid. Mr.. Dunn has
thrown such safeguards as are possible
around the sale in a letter of instructions
Issued to county auditors, In which he
states that all money over and above
the amount of tax and penalty collected
from the sale of each piece shall revert
to the county. This, for instance, pre-
vents any one from outbidding everyone
else on the sale of his own property and
then securing refund of the differences
between the amount bid and the actual
amount charged against the property
The law is hardly specific on this point,
but the state auditor has ruled that all
in excess of the delinquency shall be
turned into the county revenue fund
About $1,000 tracts in Ramsey county
will be disposed of at this sale.
The following is the state auditors cir
cuIar:
To County Auditors
a lew suggestions on the forfeited tax
SAFE. Parties wishing to redeem their
property from the sale should be permit
tea TO 90 so up to the precise time when
tract is taken up and offered for sale,
put not thereafter. Under no circum-
Stances allow redemption to be made after
plddlng has commenced.
Should any tract sell for more than
the original taxes with 10 per cent interest
ana costs of this sale, as shown by your
!lSt, the excess or surplus should be cred

event SnouId the excess be paid over to
the original owners of the real estate.
State lands held under contract with
the state (school, university, internal i'm
proYement lands, etc.), upon your forfeit
ed list, should be sold the same as other
Iands. Purchasers of such lands, how
ever, only acquire a tax title which al

held by the original purchaser of the
Iand. Iad See section 1882 of the Statutes of
1899. by paying up in full all delinquent

certlhcate on such tracts will be issued by
this Office.
Purchasers at this forfeited sale should
make immediate payment to your treas
ufer: All tracts not paid for should be
reoffered before you adjourn the sale.
The making of the certificate is very
important. Section 5. chapter 322 Laws
OF 1899, contains the form which must be
followed. 1t would be preferable to in
clude only one description as advertised.
in each certificate The law, however
permits more than one description in a
cert1ncate When sold to the same pur-
chaser. But when that is done the certif-
lcate should show the exact amount for
