STATE NEARLY OUT OF DEBT.
State Treasurer Pays Off q Batch Of
Bonds Amounting to $4,000
Big Reduction.


Pierre Register Without any blow
ing of trumpets or other remarkable
demonstration the state treasury de-
ipartment this week forwarded 1925. coo
to apply on payment of state bonds.
These bonds are the remnant of an
issue of $I35, coo which were to run
ten years more but State Treasurer
tSchamber induced the holder OF $1O,-
900 Of these bonds to accept payment
this spring and.now after the June
call for taxes the bond Interest fund
was replenished and the holder ofsthe
balance Of these bonds was notified
that interest would cease,,July list and
that payment would be made on the
bonds. This reduces the registered
bonds from S242,,5OO, which amount
was outstanding one year ago, to
1872, 500. The coupon bonds outstand-
ing are S335,000 with nearly enough
funds collected to take up S98, 600
issued to make good the loss to the
school fund by the Taylor defalca-
ton. This leaves the state debt
practically but 1926, 500. This sum
could be wiped out with a fraction
Of a mill levy and the state be entire

that the state Of South Dakota is
practically out Of debt at this time,

ABERDEEN PEOPLE WRoTH.
The Public Building According tc
Plans Will Not be What Was
Expected in Thai Line

Aberdeen peolpe are warm under
the collar all because the government
building which has been presented
to that city will not be so preten-
|tious as transportation madeby con-
gress lead them to believe it would
be, Congress appropriated 600 for
the building, this being a big Increase
over what was first set aside for it.
a few days ago the plans and speci-
fcations for the building were re-
ceiyed and a mighty howl went up,
from the city in the north part Of
the state. AS soon as the plans were
investigated it was seen that they
did not call for the expenditure Of SO
much money. a building expert in.
that town claimed that the build
ling could be erected at a cost8of not
to exceed $4,000, and the presume
ton was that so much money was
not going to be expended. Accord
ing to these plans the government
building will not be as pretentious as
the Brown county court house, the
contract price for that building be-
Ing $4,000, and the Aberdeen people
figure that the government ought to
put up a building thatwould double
what a court house would cost.
The Aberdeen News believes that
a mistake has been made in sending
the plans and that after inyestiga-
ton is made OF the matter in Wash
ington that it will be righted, and
that the $3.50 O building will be
an assured thing.

CEMENT WALKS SLIPPERY.
j585
Some Towns Finishing Their Walks
Rough to Prevent Accidents BY
Reason OF Smoothness.

In discussing the smooth surface
OF cementsidewalks and the dangero Of
accidents resulting from slipping on
them in winter time the Sioux Falls
Press says it has been requested to
mention the fact that many Of the
cement walks of Sioux Falls are a
menace to the salty OF pedestrians
when sprinkled lightly with snow OF
moistened by rain. 1t is not deemed
necessary to promulgate informa-
tion conce ming which many persons
have had painful reminders in the
past, but rather suggest that the
builders of new sidewalk avoid the
earlier mistake Of finishing with a
polished surface. a rough surface
gives a more certain foothold and a
good way to produce one is to put on
the finishing touches with a stiff
whisk broom-rather than with.a
smooth faced trowel.
In Huron precautionary measures
are being takenin the cement walks
that are being laid there now to
prevent accidents in this way. In
conversation with a Huron gentle
man in the city several days ago he
said that all walks OF a cement char
acter are being finished in the rough
at Huron The builder of walks
there has secured a roller that
makes indentations in the soft ce-
ment that produces rough edges
similar toiron doors stills.
1t might not be a bad idea fol
the walks that are being laid III this
city at the present time to be treated
in some manner that will obyiate
slipping in the wet or winter
weather.
