Board Of Education Must Borrow
Money for Current Expenses
Till the City Pays.
BONDS FOR THE OFFICIALS.
Plan Is Proposed to Place the Presi-
dent and Superintendent Under
Bond-Contract Let for Fire
Escapes at Durkee School.

The Board of Education has Joined
hands with the city on one PROPOSE
ton, and that is the fact that the
treasury of the board is now depleted,
and at the meeting of the board last
night the president and secretary
were given authority to seek a loan
not to exceed SIS, 900 to meet the run
ming expenses of the schools until
such time as the new tax levy may
become available. The building of
the new Durkee school has come as
drain on the finances of the board.
and at the meeting last night it was
found that they were in debt to the
amount of between ZOO and $4,000,
with nothing to meet the deficiency.
The teachers and the running ex-
penses of the schools must be paid for
the next three months and for this
reason the loan was ordered.
It is not thought that it will be nee
essary to borrow as much as SIS, 1000,
but this amount was named in order
to make it possible to meet ali indebt-
edness promptly. Of course the money
will have to be paid back as soon as
the levy is made and the school fund
from the city turned over to the board,
but it is feared that this advance
drawing of funds will interfere with
the support of the schools for next
year and a deficit will be created
which it will take some time to meet.
The expenses of the board have
been exceedingly heavy this year,
and, added to all of this the great ex-
pense of the new building, there has
been no funds to meet the big de-
maud.
John T. Yu1e, the member from the
Second ward, is insisting on better
business methods in the management
of the money paid over to the school
board and to this end he suggested
last night that both the president of
the board and the superintendent of
the schools be placed under bonds to
insure their faithfu1ness to the work
assigned to them. The action has no
been suggested as reflection on

THE Rural Mail Carriers Associa-
ton and the carriers themselves may
hear something drop before long as a
result of an investigation that has
been quietly conducted by order of
the president since the election. Dur
ing the campaign charges were, freely
made by certain congressman, who
were candidates for reelection, that
the association was conducting a sys-
tematic campaign against them be-
cause they had refused to accede to
the demand of the association for an
increase of pay for the carriers, Ac-
cording to these charg es certain con-
gressmen, among them Mr.. Over
street, of Indiana, chairman of the
postoffice committee of the house,
were to be defeated as an object les
son of the power of the association,
and their defeat was to be warning
to the other members not to oppose
the plans of the association. It is in
timated in Washington that the evil
dence so far secured tends to SUBJ
stantiate the charges and that gen.
era1 overhau1ing of the service may
take place soon. It is certain that
President Roosevelt will act with
characteristic promptness if he finds
that an attempt has been made by
federal office holders to intimidate or
improperly influence congressman.

If the city council succeeds in rent
ing the old county building new
city hall will not have to be built for
a few years, anyway, and perhaps by
that time the city will have more
money in the treasury.

Mrs. CHADWICK is not entirely to
blame. Some of the bankers who
loaned" her their depositors money
are at least accessories to her crimi-
nal operations. They could not have
been the utter fools that they would
like to have the public believe them,
and some of them must have raked off
pretty heavy commissions.
