SCHOOL WATER BILLS
|
They'll Be Paid When Fire and Po-
lice Departments Pay. zT.

4 q q
When the fire and police7 departments
are charged for city water the board Of
education will not object to o'paying for
water. but when only the park board and
school board are to charged the school
directors feel that there is an unjust dis
elimination. The resolution Of the water
works committee to shut off water from
the schools by. Oct. rs, If certain ac-
counts were not paid by that time, was
referred to the finance committee.
The matter Of preparing a school ex-
hibit for the worlds fair at st. Louis
was also referred to the finance commit
tee. The school exhibit which had been
prepared at some expense was destroyed
when the Women's Federation building
at, the state fair grounds went up In
smoke a month ago. The sentiment seems
favorable to starting another display.
Bids for the construction Of portable
schoolhouses were rejected as being ,too
high. Two sample buildings awil be set
up at the Clay school, but it will be ex-
ceedingly expensive reconstruct any great
number @s s5 y.
The board voted to make physical cul-
ture OPTIONAL in the high schools, instead
of requiring it as part sof the course Of
study. There is not sufficient room to
carry on the work properly. 1..o a.

Increases in the. assessmentso the public
service corporations were adopted by the
state board Of equalization yesterday af-
ternoon as shown in the foregoing. The
report Of the Committee on franchises
as given in yesterdays Journ a \ was
adopted without a dissenting vote, after
representatives Of the corporations had
spent the afternoon in arguments against
1t.
The assessment Of the Twin city
Kapid Transit company was a conpro-
mise between the original proposition, to
assess only on the common stock, and the
report s, MAJ MAJ de- yesterday morning, to
assess both the common and preferred.
The committee took the preferred stock
at par and the common at 80 per cent,
and from this reached a valuation of
$16,500,000, from which. on the so per cent
basis the valuation Of S8,250,000 was OBJ
tained. q,
The original intention was to double
the assessment of the Duluth-Superior
Traction company, but the committee
the $1,500000 of preferred stock should
only be listed at so per cent, and the 49,
100000 of common stock at 15.
M. d. Mum, attorney for the street
railway company, made a vigorous pro-
test against the more than so per cent
raise. He declared that it was not taxa
ton; but cpnfscation. It meant an in
crease of 100000 in the company's taxes,
of which the state would only get about
$4,000, the. rest falling to the localities.
which had already acted on the assess
ment and approved it. The stock of the
company was valued at less than last
year. The assessment had been increased
374 per cent in five years, and this was
an additional burden The preferred
stock had been given in payment of an
indebtedness, and was not capital.
f j. %. p. Whee1Wright, speaking for the
Minneapolis Gas Light company said
that in 1899 it paid 2.83 per cent on its
gross earnings, and in 1902 1t paid .55
per cent. Business conditions did not
Justify an increase. The company had to
pay II per cent more for It's coal this year
than last, "a per cent more for oil, and 25
per cent more for labor, while the price
Of gas remained fixed. :
Jared s.. How for the st. Paul Gas
Light company said the company did not
know whether its property was worth
anything at all until it settled the mat
ter Of the franchise with the city
A. M. Robertson, appearing for the
Minneapolis General Electric company,
said the company''s taxes had been more
than doubled in three years, and 1t also
faced great increase in the cost. Of

ON A BLOCKADE RUNNER.
Sir William Allan's Experience In the
Civil Mar.

Sir William Allan's Experience In the
Civil War.
When fortunes were being made by
British merchantmen running the
blockade Of Southern ports during the
American Civil War, Sir William Al.
Ian, who had served in the engineer.
Ing department of the British navy,
signed as chief engineer on a mer.
chant steamer. London MAP. re-
peats a personal Renaissance Of Sir
William, which gives a good glimpse
OF those exciting times.
After a successful run into the Sa.
vannah river, tae blockaderunner
tried a second time, and met with dis
aster. One dark night, she was steal
Ing, with all lights masked, into Sa-
yannah, and ran plump into the arms
OF a Federal cruiser that was waiting
for her in the darkness.
Stop your engines Or we shall sink
you'll" was the from the
cruiser, which had suddenly unshroud-
ed her lights and thrust out her guns
close alongside.
II stopped the ergine3," related Sir
William, land began to blow off
steam. A boat from the Federal ship
had come alongside, and suddenly an
officer rushed into my engine room
and put a revolver to my head. He
was in a rage, and told me I had
opened the valves and was trying to
sink the steamer. l must close them
at once.
l asked him who he was, and
he answered:
"T'm the engineer of the steamer
that has taken YOU
at can't believe you are the engi
neer.' said, or you would have a
spanner or an oilcan in your fist, in
stead of fooling about with a pistol
and you would know that I am onl.
blowing off a bit of steam.'"
At this cool reply the officer dropped
his pistol, and the two were soon good
friends.
