MONEY IN PLENTY.
Derived From San Domingo Revenues
to Pay Indemnity.

New York. Nov. 8.-John T. Abb
bolt, who recently took charge of the
Puerto Plata customs house in order
to liquidate a judgment against the
San Domingo government, has ar
rived here. He declared that Carlos
F. Morales, the former priest who re-
Gently placed himself at the head of
the little West Indian republic, to be
a very friendly man and one of great
ability. The customs house at Puerto
Plata is working out the indemnity
which the San Domingo government
owes American citizens. Having full
power in the matter, Mr.. Abbott has
been liberal with the government in
the twenty days he has been in charge
and has turned over most of the
moneys for government uses. The in
demnity payments will be taken out
later on. He is in this city at present
on a brief business trip and will sail
for San Domingo again tomorrow.
1.-THE idea of paying the indemnity
has rather taken the fancy of the
people now he said. "Our relations
with the people and the governm ent
have been most cordial.
''The averages of the last five years
indicate that the revenues will be
more than sufficient to pay the INSTALL
ments on the indemnity and provide
for the budget.
1.-THE revenues are always a little
larger when collected by Americans"

Then the board raised the salary OF
the janitors at Harrison school from
$50 to $55, and the pay of the janitor
at Potwin from $40 to $50. The Potwin
building has been enlarged.
Judge Carver questioned the policy
of the board in issuing script bearing
six per cent interest in lieu of bonds
rot yet issued which would draw four
per cent Judge Carver thought the
board was paying two per cent too
much. Chairman Wilson, of the build
ing committee, said the reason was
that the Schol fund commissioners of
Kansas would not take Topeka school
bonds in $4,000 lots, or sums some
larger, at four per cent but demanded
that the board of education of Topeka
deliver large punches of bonds to the
school fund. Even then the school fund
commissioners object and haggle over
taking Topeka school bonds at four per
cent. Chairman Wilder, of the finance
committee, has had considerable trOu
BILE in selling Topeka school bonds to
the state school fund at four per cent.
Chairman Wilson, of the building
committee, advocated another saving.
He thought that by not having the
pressed brick walls of the manual
training school oiled that the board
would save money and that from in
vestigation he had determined that oil
ing brick walls were matter of taste.
The walls will not be oiled.

ERA. OF INFRINGEMENT.
school Board Will Save $67 on a.
Stairway.

The board of education at the meet
ing last night gave hint of starting in
on a wonderful era of retrenchment.
For months and months Judge Gar
yer, and other members of the board,
have earnestly and urgently advised the
board to stop spending money and to
be saving. This missionary work seems
to have borne fruit for at last nights
meeting, by careful and wise considera-
ton and manipulation, the board decid-
ed to do away with a proposed stair
way in the new Quincy school in North
Topeka and to substitute a ladder and
thereby save SGT over and above the
cost of the ladder.
After careful consideration w. H.
Wilson, chairman of the building COM
mittee, and L. NJ. Wood, the architect
of the building, advocated this saving.
The stairway is from the second story
of the Quincy building to the attic and
as the attic is not to be used ladder
will do as we'll as anything and the
treasury will be SGT in.
Judge Carver called the attention of
the board last night to a much need
ed reform. The board has been in
the habit of considering expenditures
and voting to spend money for this
and for that without knowing how
much money there is remaining in the
fund from which the amount Will be
drawn. For instance, a one meeting
the board decides to spend a certain
sum from the building fund. At the
next meeting the board cecides to
spend some more out of that fun I.
without knowing how much will be
left after the expenditure decided on
at the previous meeting.
1.-The board acts in the dark" said
Judge Carver. ''We de ;!je on ex-
penditures, and we know, perhaps,
how much money there is in the fund,
but we do not know how much is still
to come from that fund to pay bills
which we have incurred. I think the
board should know exactly how eacE
fund stands, and that the clerk of
the board of education should pee
pare tabulated statement of the con-
dition of each fund and of the money
to be expended from each fund, and
provide each member of the board
with a copy of that table at each
meeting, and that he should keep this
table up to date"
81 move you that as this is to be
done and as the clerk should receive
more pay, that we increase the pay of
the clerk of the board of education
from $50 to $50 month"; said Col.
J. D. Norton, and the motion carried.
