1ournment in July.
It needed but a brief period at home

DAMAGE is HALF A MILLION.
Inadequate Water Supply and Fire
Department Responsible for
Heavy Loss-Fourth in
Towns History.

St. Johns Newfoundland. Nov. 1.-The
town Of st. Pierre, Miquelon has been dew
astated by fire.
A destructive confiagration started last
night and swept the main portion Of the
town.
The Governors house. the Government
building. the building occupied by the Min
istry Of Marine, the Roman Catholic Ca
thedral. the Presbytery. the schools and q
number Of other buildings were destroyed.
1t has not yet been learned how the fire
originated. There was no wind last night,
else the entire town would probably have
been completely obliterated.
Even as 1t is. the extent OF the disaster
is very far reaching. and the financial loss
will probably reach half million dollars
There was no loss Of life or serious acci-
dent ~.
The rapid spread Of the conflagration was
due to the trifiing water supply. and to the
fact that St. Pierre has no adequate IRE
fighting appliance.
The town Of St. Pierre has been partially
burned down three times before-in 1856
1861 and 1879. t-a.,~

to make up the loss in the amount
of the annual distribution of school
money which must result from changing
the investment Of the State School Fund
from the existing per cent and per cent
certificates to United States bonds bearing
a premium and netting the holder less than
per cent annual interest?
The money gathered into the State Treas
ury arises from general taxation of the
wealth OF the State. while that raised by
school-district taxation is made up entirely
out of the taxpayers Of the schoo, district.
In the one case, all the wealth OF the
State contributes to the support OF the pub
lie schools in each and every school district
of the State. The adoption OF the seventh
amendment will continue this general con-
tribution.
In the other case, the loss by reducing the
rate Of interest upon the State School Fund
and such loss must surely follow II the in
vestment be changed from per cent and
per cent interest-bearing State School Fund
certificates to per cent United States
bonds bought at premium. and therefore

per annum-must he made up by increased

schools must suffer from the lessening Of
the funds for their maintenance.
vote for the amendment is a vote for
continuing the present policy. both just and
wise, of helping all the public schools OF
the State through taxation Of the wealth Of
the whole State. A vote against the amend
ment is vote to lessen the contribution
from the general fund and cast more Of
the burden Of maintaining each and every
one OF these schools upon the people OF the
several school districts each district bear
ing alone its increased burden. With the
amendment adopted and the present wise
and just policy continued. the poorer Of the
school districts will have more help from
the wealth of the State: with the policy
changed, either the taxpayers In these
poorer districts or their children, or both,
will be the sufferers.
