COST OF COAL HEAVY.
State Will Have To Pay Advanced
Prices For Fuel.

Des Moines, July 20.--The board OF
control has discovered that it will
be obliged to pay big prices for coal
for the state institutions the coming
year. Bids are being received by the
board on the fuel supply for the com
ing twelve months. The lowest pro-
posals indicate the state will have to
contract at an advance of from so to
rs cents a ton over last years prices.
The price paid last year varied with
the different institutions. according to
nearness to the mines, freight rates
and the like. 1t was considered then
that the prices were fairly high. but
the effect of advanced prices will be
felt much more this year. 1t will re-
quire $4,000 tons of coal TO run the
institutions for the year according to
estimates. and bids on this amount of
coal are being obtained. An advance
of so cents ton on this amount would
mean an Increased cost to the state
for fuel of $32 800.
The board of control has turned
back into the state treasury balances
of two appropriations, the total re-
funds amounting to nearly $1,000.
The Twenty-eighth general assem-
bly, appropriated $500 to reimburse
the patients of the Mt. Pleasant hos
pital, who had deposited sums with
Superintendent Gilman when ne was
in charge of the institution, which de-
posits he had converted to his own
use. The board of control pail off
the different claimants but for the last
two years there have been no claims
made, and 1t was concluded all the
patients had been reimbursed. The
balance left in the appropriation was
S2,03SS0 and this was turned back
into the general revenue.
The other balance refunded was the
remainder OF the $4,000 appropriation
made by the last general assembly
for the transfer of patients to Chero-
kee hospital The unexpended part
of this appropriation was about $4,000.
