IN FEAR OF The AK
employees OF SCHOOL BOARD
NERVOUS ABOUT THE
DEFICIT
SOME SURE TO BE DROPPED
Deficiency of $4,000 VIII Not Be
Felt This Year Inspectors
May Give Up
Offices.

The year 1903 Is a long way off, but
this does not tend In the least to re-
lieve the anxiety of those school employees
who fear for their positions because of
the $4,000 deficit that the board of edu-
cation is now facing.
While a. state law permits an unlim-
tied amount for new buildings. the char
ter prescribes limit for maintenance,
which, based on an error of judgment
in naming the daily average school at
tendance as the basis of computation,
finds the board UP against 1t. This cut
of $4,000 will not show up until 1908, but
in the meantime economy that will mean
the curtailing of more than one perquisite
will have to be adopted.
One item which it is proposed to elm
mate is that of rental for the offices now
occupied in the New, York Life building.
For these offices the city monthly pays
$40, which it is claimed could be easily
saved by the board moving into the city
hall, where 1t properly belongs.
Some people say that it will have to
be done, but am opposed to the cut
ting of salaries" said Mayor Smith yes
terday. A man earns all he gets these
days and if can help it none of them
will suffer in that direction. I might
say that in many cases they really don't
receive the salary that they should
What in all probability will be done
will be the dropping of a few janitors
or teachers, and their work added to
that of the others. 1t Is not thought
that any employee will be reduced in sal

PAVING ON PAYNE
WILL ACT TOMOR-
PROPERTY OWNERS ACTIVE
Will Fight the Proposition to Spread
the Cost, and the Matter
May Be Taken Into
Court.

If time permits the board of public
works will take up the proposed paving
Of Payne avenue at its meeting tomor-
row afternoon. 1t is expected that the
preliminary order calling for the work
will be approved.
The proposition to spread the cost for
the work has engrossed the attention of
the board to the extent that a personal
visit was made by the members to the
locality Friday afternoon. The entire
street was inspected, and the thorough
fares over which it is proposed to spread
the cost also visited.
Il haven't tie least idea what will be
the outcome of the scheme to make 9TH
er property bear its share of the cost, !"
said President Hammer, Of the board,
yesterday. In fact, it may not be done.
Court decisions Of late have shown that
the merest technicalities will invalidate
an assessment, so that you see we have
to be careful what we do"
Property owners east ard west of
Payne avenue are opposed to any spread,
and have publicly given notice of their
intention to fight it in the courts. Money
is now being collected from individual
property owners in order to be prepared
for a suit if necessary.
The members of the board seem disin-
clined to talk about the Improvement,
but in the remarks made the Inference
is sufficient to lead to the belief that
only property abutting on Payne avenue
will be taxed.

SUIT OVER RUBBERNECKS
TWO ITALIANS WHO MANUFACTURE
TOYS CANNOT AGREE.

Judge Hine in the municipal court is
trying an interesting case, which, al
though it does not involve a great sum,
is nevertheless amusing. The case is
that of Pasqual Farinacci against Peter
Sofia, an action to recover moneys al
legged to be due the plaintiff arising out
of transactions of a partnership between
the plaintiff and the defendant. The two
men Were formerly engaged in the man
ufacture of toy balloons, return balls,
ring-around-rosies and rubbernecks,
which they sold at fairs, picnics and cir
cuses. Some time ago they decided to
dissolve partnership, and according to
the plaintiff, the defendant has been
using the machine to blow UP the bal
looms, and tent, besides having also in
his possession some balloons belonging
to the plaintiff. The plaintiff is suing to
recover S3S.75, which he claims is due
him as rent for the tent, balloons and
half of the machine used for blowing
them up. On the other hand, the defend
ant claims an offset of $40, money loaned
the plaintiff, SIG worth of Christmas tree
zines and $3.50 worth. of rubbernecks.
Both parties to the suit live in the Fifth
ward, and during the hearing of the case
yesterday Judge Hines court was h1led
with a contingent living on the upper
fats.

EMS STATUS OF THE
EXCHANGE
DEBTS TO BE PROMPTLY PAID
Commission Man Who Allowed Gus
toners Long Credit Was Ex-
PEELED and Courts Uphold
the Action.

Local produce commission men are
greatly elated over a decision rendered
by the court in Minneapolis in the case
of C. ]. Ertz against the Minneapolis
Produce Exchange. The case was an &C
ton brought by Ertz to recover $loo'o
for alleged boycotting on the part Of the
exchange. The case was tried once be-
fore. resulting in a verdict for $2OO, put
was taken to the supreme court which
ordered a new trial. The matter has oc-
scupied the attention of the court for
a week, and resulted in a verdict for the
defendant.
The Produce exchange is an organiza-
ton of the commission men for mu-
tual protection. One of the rules which
they have adopted and agreed to enfcSee
is that any man that does not pay all
his bills promptly will be denied credit
by all members of the exchange while
unpaid bills are standing. All bills are
due on Thursday of the week after they
are incurred. ErtZ was a member of the
exchange, but In order to cater to a GER
tain trade he did not enforce the credit
system, and gave time to certain ones
who had not paid all their bills on the
street The matter leaked out, and Ertz
was fined SIS. He paid-the fine but did

TEA TRADE IS Dull
AFFECT BUSINESS AD-
VERSELY
ST. PAUL LIKELY TO SUFFER
City Now Stands Fourth as Tea I'M
porter, but Conditions Existing
Will Probably Cause
Big Drop.

ST. Paul now ranks fourth in the list
of cities in the United States in the
amount of tea imported each year. A
representative of one of the large tea
houses i'll the city said to T h G e
yesterday that it was quite likely that
st. Paul would lose her place on account
of the high duty, and of change made
by the railroads governing shipments Of
tea made to ST. Paul Under the old rule
OF the railroad companies a shipment of
tea could be consigned from the coast to
this place, but if it did not find ready
market it could be rebilled under the
original lading and forwarded to any
other city in the land. This has been
changed recently, and if the tea which
is shipped here is not sold 1t must be
forwarded to other places under new
bill of lading at regular freight rates
The conditions of the tea market are
far from satisfactory to the local job
bers who, handle the commodity in large
quantities. They say that owing to high
tariff imposed upon tea small jobbers are
not able to carry as much tea as they
otherwise would. Under the present
schedule the tax on tea amounts to 10
cents a pound, regardless of its value
AS the average cost of tea In bond is
Is cents pound the duty is equal to
about 70 per cent of the original cost
This high duty makes too great an in
vestment for the man who cannot hold
the tea in bond and prevents him from
handling as much as he would were it
not for the duty.
The amount of tea consumed this year
has not been as large as usual owing
to the exceedingly low price of coffee.
Experienced dealers say that an advance
of 25 per cent in the cost of coffee will
cause a decrease of about the same per-
centage in its consumption.

not stop the practice. After a few
months he was fined $50, when he point
edly refused to pay. and was expelled
from the exchange.
He claims that after nc left the eX-
change, they conspired to boycott
him. If he was short of any comm 91ty
and went into the street to buy, all ihe
merchants claimed that they had ND more
than they needed and refused to sell him.
If, on the other hand, he had more pro-
duce than he could dispose of, they would
refuse to buy of him, even Wher. 1t was
evident that they needed the stuff. AS
result Mr. E~tz business was seriously
crippled and he asked the court to award
him $4,000 damages.
TIE case first came up ever year
ago and resulted in the verdict Ter S200,
as stated above. G'he commission men
asked for a new trial, but the mott IN
was denied. They appealed to the SUI.
preme court and obtained the trial which
resulted in a victory for them. They
consider that the verdict decides an i'm
portant matter, and that it makes the
Exchange a permanent affair, because it
allows them to use the methods necas
sary to force men to obey its rules
The ST. Paul exchange is organized on
the same principles as the Minneapolis
association, and it is governed by SIM
liar code of laws. The commission men
here say the decision in the Ertz case
is of great importance to them mas
much as it gives to them the right to use
the same means to protect themselves
against such persons as incur debts with
out intending to pay them within rason-
able limit of time.
