$4,000 blank licenses to the county au-
ditors of the state to be issued to men

more plentiful than for several years.
Itasca, st. Louis, Beltrami, Crow Wing

CHILDREN TO AID
THE CIVIC LEAGUE
Pupils of Schools to Be Allowed
to Work for Fairgrounds
Amendment

The Civic league and Commercial
club will be permitted to distribute in
the schools printed arguments favoring
the adoption. of the charter amendment
allowing an annual appropriation of
$4,000 for public Fairgrounds, but a
like request as to the park board
amendment was refused.
1t was held by the members of the
board of school inspectors last even
ing that they were willing to favor the
Fairgrounds which pertained to chill
dren entirely, but feared that if the
park amendment was included that
the fremen and policemen might ask
the same privilege. Upon this ground
the playground promoters were au-
thorized to circulate their arguments
through the school children, and the
request as to the park amendment de-
feated.
Mrs. w. E. Bramhall, president of
the Civic league, argued at some length
in favor of permitting an active can
vass in the schools in. the interest of
the Fairgrounds, saying that the good
that has been accomplished by the
Como avenue Fairgrounds is apparent
Approval has been given by the school
teachers and others who have made
study of the question.
1--WE desire to lay before the pupils
of the public schools the fact that the
incorporation in the city charter of
the proposed amendment will permit
the establishment Of Fairgrounds in
other sections Of the city," said Mrs.
Bramhall 1.-THE question of play
grounds, to my nind,'' is an important
one. 1t solves what is to be done with
the idle hours that are now too often
spent by children on the streets and in
alleys. There has been at the Como
avenue Fairgrounds during the season
that closes tomorrow an average at
tendance Of 400, and the conduct of
the children now shows wonderful
Improvement as compared with their
behavior when the grounds were open
ed. They have been taught the neces-
sity of federation in play, and I believe
that the lesson will follow them into
later life.''
AS the playground secured its start
from the park board, she asked that
the amendment of the charter allow
ing 100000 instead of $4,000 year for
parks be also laid before the children.
She said that 1t is the purpose Of the
park board to establish Fairgrounds in
connection with the parks and that
considerable Of the proposed increase
would go for this purpose.
DIR. A. w. DUnning spoke in favor Of
the granting the request of the Civic
league and Commercial club, and told
Of the good accomplished by the play
grounds.

general, in the construction of the Krostue
law, providing for the payment by the
state of twothirds of the actual value Of
tubercular cattle and glandered horses

Gen. Douglas had ruled that the terms
OF the Krostue law permitted payments

attorney general had given an opinion to
the state auditor that the conpensatiue.
clause of the law had been repealed.
John Day Smith, Minneapolis attorney
of the live stock board, presented the
conflicting opinions to the quarterly meet
ing Of the board yesterday, and the board
declared it was up to the state auditor to
say which opinion would guide him in his
future action.

experiences with the local health Off
GERS. He was much impressed with the
mana gement of the local department,
but secured no Information concerning
the best method zof eremating garbage,
subject on which he was seeking in
formation. =
'.St. Paul is particularly fortunate in
having a health commissioner who is
able to be absolutely independent"
said Mr.. Murray. "Dr. Ohage's name
is familiar throughout the country, and
he has proved to be the best advertise

ports from both physicians and drug
gists, ard one class serves as a check
on the other. If the physician fails to

RUSH OF TAXPAYERS
County Tressurer's Office Will
Be: Busy Place Until Nov. I

Beginning Monday morning we will
have the annual rush of taxpayers anx-
ious to deposit their money with the
county," said Joseph H. Jansen, cash
Ter at the county treasurer's office yes
terday. Mr.. Jansen was kept fairly
busy all day taking in gold and bills
from the taxpayers, and also handing
out considerable money in payment of
jury warrants and other items.
During the second and third weeks in
October the steady going taxpayers can
be depended upon to make their pay
ments promptly. AS high as $780,
has been received in a single day, and
when the fact that the average pay
ments do not exceed $50, and in a great
many cases are considerably less, is
considered, it requires no stretch of i'm
agination to realize that the cashier is
busy man.
This year a total of over $4,000, 900
will be collected before the books are
closed. Already $2,464,1S6 has been re-
ceived, while to almost balance this
50, 1S0,279 has been paid cut, making a
total of over $4,500,000 handled by the
cashier directly, and indirectly by his
assistants.
"The taxpayers this year are show
ing a tendency toward early settle
ments," continued Mr.. Jansen. I'm
fact, it looks like the best year the
county has experienced for some time
in the matter of early payments.
Beginning with Monday, we expect
to be kept on the rush every moment
of the day. and for that matter, far
into the night. Owing, however, to the
fact that the largest percentage of the
county's taxes have already been paid
the amounts received during the rush
will not be as great as formerly, but
the numbereof accounts handled will be
more numerous"
