Two Judges in Orphans Court.

In the orphans court, Judge A. A.
Nosburg heard the audit in the estate
of Ezra Stevens, deceased. Testimony
was taken for the purpose Of distribute
ing the fund in the hands Of the ac-
countant, Frank r. Stevens. B. F.
Tinkham appeared for the executor.
1t appears by the evidence, that the
widow elected to take against the will,
and also that one OF the heirs, George
Stevens left his domicile in this county
for the west, some ten years ago, and
has not been heard from in several
years. An alternative distribution of
his share was asked for. to provide
both for his death and possible re-ap-
pearance.
In the estate of Mark f. Hart. de-
ceased, the audit Of the accountant Of
Thomas II. Hart, as administrator was
also heard, H. D. Carey appearing for
the administrator. This is also a dis
tribution audit, no exceptions having
been filed to the account This account
includes about $17O0 of assets which
came into the hands of the decedant,
as guardian of Maud Dowden, and is
claimed by her present guardian,
Thomas NJ. Hart.
The audit in the estate of John b.
Smith, deceased was also heard.

kins on behalf of certain heirs, who
are now in possession Of the property,

The New England Briauette Coal
company has been organized to oper-

Island. The object of the company is
to mine the coal and make it into
briquettes and market 1t for domestic

it is more efficient than any other fuel.
The company claims to have a plant
now under construction that will turn
out 1000 tons q day. People in the
trade. however. who are familiar with
these coal deposits, are inclined to be
more OF less skeptical as to this coal

THE TAX LEVY.

1t is believed that the tax levy will
be about five mills on II full valuation,
which would be comparatively the
same as a levy of fourteen mills and
a fraction on one-third valuation.
The levy for the present fiscal year was
thirteen mills. while the levy for last
year was fourteen mills.
Provision for the new buildings
which it is proposed to erect must be
made in a bond issue as to include pro-
vision for the whole or part of the cost
OF their erection in the budget would
necessitate the increasing of the tax
levy to too high figure.

That the school tax levy for the COM
ing year will be considerably higher
than last year was evidenced last
night when the finance committee of
the board of control met to consider
the estimates submitted by the several
committees.
These estimates, in each instance,
provide for an increase over the ap-
preparation for the present fiscal year.
In some instances, the increase was
slight and in other instances large.
but the members of the finance COM
mitee seem inclined to the belief that
nearly all the increased amounts are
necessary. Estimates were received
from all the committees, with the en-
ception Of the teachers committee,
which meets tonight to consider the
question Of increasing the teachers
salaries.
AS it was impossible for the finance
committee to act intelligently last
night, because of this fact, the MEM
bers contented themselves with dis
cussing the estimates in an informal
manner. President Gibbons had pre-
pared a plan for general readjust-
ment and increase Of the teachers SAL
aries. which he submitted for the con-
sideration of the committee, and which
seemed to meet with general approval.
PLAN OF REIMBURSEMENT.
The readjustment which he proposes
would affect all grades Of the teachers
except the principals. The graduates
Of the training school now receive $40
a month OH starting in to teach, while
the Normal school teachers receive $35
for the first month. These salaries are
increased at four year intervals until
the teachers finally receive $55 at the
end of twelve years service.
Mr.. Gibbons proposes a new system.
whereby the training school graduates
would be started in at $45 per month
and the Normal graduates at $40 per
month, and whereby their salaries
would be increased to $50 per month
at the end of six years. He then pro-
poses a fiat increase of ten per cent. for
all teachers, including principals. after
this readjustment Is made.
If this was put into effect this COM
ing year, 1t would mean total increase
of $53,S00 in the teachers appropria-
tion. The appropriation for teachers
salaries for the present fiscal year was
S164,20O. President Gibbons plan pro-
vides for total appropriation Of $21s,-
900. He proposes to make fight for
its adoption, and there is very good
reason to believe that he will carry
his point.
Accepting his estimate of $21s,00O for
teachers salaries, the total list Of es-
Inmates considered last night are shown
in the following table In which the ap-
preparations for the present fiscal year
Is compared with them:
