A NEW STATION HOUSE NEEDED.
The Police Committee Recommends the Erec-
ton of New One.

The annual report of the Police Com

I'VE would respectfully call the atten-
ton of this board to the condition of
the Staten House. The place has been
condemned time and again in former re-
ports. and we add our condemnation. In
every particular it is wholly unfit for oc-
cupancy as place for the police.
Your committee would recommend
that suitable location be purchased and
station house be erected that would be
humane and also an ornament to the city
We believe this could be done very easily.
Money could be borrowed for this pur-
pose, and the rent of the present Station
House would pay interest on the amount

BIGGEST FORCE OF THE YEAR.
The Board Gives the Investigating Commit
tee the Gay Face.

The News and Observer said a hand
full of days ago that the Water In
vestigation" was the biggest farce of
the year.
The report of the committee last
night was more. 1t was whole
minstrel show.
As q curtain raiser Alderman Nc
Donald came in with his 1872 pages of
typewriter evidence and the report
thereon.
With due ceremony he presented
this to the board and asked City AZ
torney Watson, who conducted she
''ingestigation,' to read the report.
Mr.. Watson complied, perusing the
document with great JUNCTION ana lay
ing special stress on the following:
Your committee is aware 81 the fact
that criticisms have been made as to
the investigation being "a farce etc,
this may be. We will state however,
that this had not the slightest effect
in our collecting the evidence present
ed to you"
The only thing in the report really
worthy of note was this: s'We would
recommend, however, that the Water
Company be required to have stand
and that the turkeys be required to
keep an hourly record of the pres
sure, night and day, and to make a
daily report of same to the Chief of
the Fire Department.
Having RECALLED the board with the
report and being well under way the
attorney insisted ON giving the men,
bers the benefit of the evidence.
@,I IL
ton.
1T cost $3.50 cents to take the evil
dence and the board ought to have
the benefit of it, remarked Mr.. Nc
Donald
Alderman Hamilton said he wanted
to hear it; Mr.. Watson ratified away
on it, while the members of the board
chatted in undertone, walked about
and otherwise amused themselves as
best they could.
Finally, after three or four pages,
Alderman Hamilton said he had
enough and further reading of the
testimony was dispensed with on mo-
ton Of Alderman Wynne, and the evil
dence was ordered filed with the city
clerk.
This completed act /. of the show.
The second act opened with the re-
port OF the Finance committee, Chair
man Jones stating that the commit
tee had declined to allow the bill OF
$lo.60 Tor stenographic work without
further information in regard to it.
Chairman Mcdonald explained, as
did also Attorney Watson, the former
remarking III an aside that he'd sue
the city. for the amount if the bill
wasn't allowed.
After some discussion it was allow
ed and the curtain went down Oh !,
rather tame second act.
The next scene is an hour later. The
board is about to adjourn. Mr.. Me-
Donald calls attention to the fact that
the report has not yet been acted on
Alderman There's moth
ing in it to act on. / move we lay
the thing on the table"
Alderman Croker (also member
of the Investigating" committed -
You ought to do something with it
we had to spend $3.50 to get it,
Alderman Bogasse-"That's all you
did do-spend SIS
Alderman Cornell (aIso member OF
the Investigating" committee -'But
there's a recommendation in it about
water gauge in the station house. .
Alderman Pegram-'I move the
gauge part be adopted and the rest
laid on the table"
Thus ended the greatest farce of the
year.

The citizens of Raleigh feel much in
terest in the changes recently announced
In connection with the Interstate Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
This splendid electrical plant has had
a phenomenal growth since its inaugura

800 subscribers in Raleigh. Improve
mentS are being made constantly and
other important ones are contemplated to
render the service, which is already
highly satisfactory, more efficient. Long
distance connection with the more i'm
portant Eastern towns and cities will
also soon be perfected.
The management of this enterprise are
to be congratulated on having secured
the services of Mr.. VIM. Boylan, one OF
our most prominent and public spirited
citizens as resident manager here.
To fine business capacity he unites ag-
gressive and energetic characteristics
that cannot fail to make the service here
as near perfect as their unsurpassed ia
cilities are prepared to render it.
The public appreciates the efforts of
these gentlemen and is prepared to re-
ward them with constantly increasing
patronage.

ADVISES THAT THE MONEY BE
APPORTIONED.
VOUCHERS FOR 1T ISSUED BY AUDITOR
The Treasurer Says He Hasn't the Money, But
the Supt. Says the Legislature Appro-
priated It and Intended That It
Should Re Paid.

State Superintendent Mebane is hot on
the trail of that 100000 of public
school money appropriated by the last
Legislature.
State Treasurer Worth says he hasn't
got the money, and hence he can't pay
it,
But Mr.. Mebane replies that he must
get it; that the appropriation was duly
made and it must be paid.
The Auditor has made ont his warrants
on the Treasurer for the amount due the
various counties, and yesterday Super
intendent Nebane sent out a letter to
all the county superintendent and mem
bers of county boards of education in
the State, advising them, when they meet
tomorrow to apportion the school funds,
to go ahead and apportion this special
appropriation to the respective town
ships, keeping a strict account of the
special fund given to each township"
Mr.. Mebane's letter in full is as fol-
lows:
"Raleigh, y. c., Jan. 6, 1900.
To County SuFerintendents and Mem
bcrs of the County Boards of Educa-
ton:
Dear Sirs:-Among the many ques-
tons of anxious concern that | have
had to deal with, one has been my earn
est desire to have the special appropria-
ton of 100000 for the public schools.
Il wrote an official letter to the State
Treasurer some months ago i'll regard to
this appropriation i have seen him in
person three or four times and urged
him to make special effort to pay this
money when due. He assured me on
each occasion that he would gladly pay
the money if he had it when due, but
could never give me any assurance that
he would have the money You, no
doubt, have his official letter before this
time stating that he has not the money
now, but that he hopes to have it in time
for the fall term of schools.
This money was appropriated by the
Legislature for the school year, begin
ming July 1st, 1899, and ending June
Both, 1900 and we must have this mon
ey on or before June Both, for the spring
term and not for the fall term.
MY advice to you is that you go ahead
and apportion this special appropriation
to your respective townships, keeping
strict account of the amount of the
special fund given to each township, and
the township trustees in turn to keep
strict account of how much special
fund they give to each individual school.
This may cause the teachers to have n
small bill of 49, $50, or SO that may
not be paid promptly at the close of the
schools, but can be paid as soon as the
county treasurer receives the money from
the State Treasurer.
"Of course, if the State Treasurer
pays the money before the schools close,
then there will be no delay in paying
the teachers in full at the close of their
schools.
NO one regrets the failure to receive
the money promptly more than myself,
as ] have been exceedingly anxious that
the last year of my term of office should
show an increase in the length of schools
as well as an Improvement in the quality
of work done in the school room.
yours very truly,
&C. H. MEBANE,

II transpires from the general
condition of democratic affairs in
this state that the Pocatello candi-
dates were set up to be knocked
down like niger babies in a street
fakh's stall. Chairman Perkey
has been out with his baseball bat.
he has been unable to get the rank
OF candidates thinned out so far.
Each of the electors has been tap
ped, but in turn each has refused
to 60 down behind the canvas. 1t
seems that each of the candidates
wanted the other fellow to be the
Niger baby and submit to the ball
throwing act. All the populist
Niger babies are down except
Mullen, but there are still four on

main. Pe,key, the ball thrower,
must hit democrat next.
