SCHOOL DEBT WIPED OUT.
DISTRICT OF NORFOLK AGAIN ON
A CASH BASIS.
THIRTEEN YEARS OF DEBT
Treasurer sehoregee Has Issued
Call For All Outstanding Warrants,
and There viii be a Cash Balance
Left-Patrons Pleased.

From Fridays Daily1
The school district Of Norfolk Is
on a cash basis!
II has been something like thirteen
years since the same statement could
be made and the patrons, tax payers
and school officers are naturally feel.
ing good over condition that has
been long desired but long deferred.
The school year closed with some.
thing like $500 cash in the treasury,
enough to meet all outstanding war.
rants and leave a balance
Up to six years ago the debt contin.
ued to pile mp and the treasury was
always behind with its payments.
The outstanding Indebtedness had at
that time reached the sum Of some
thing over $4,000, and a campaign of
rctrenchmont was insisted upon and
inaugurated, with the result that since
then the debt has been gradually re.
duCing.
The new revenue law came along
in time to render valuable assistance
and as a result the district is now
clear of outstanding obligations,
Treasurer Schoregge having issued a
call asking that all warrants be pre-
sented for payment, as no more inter
est will be paid. During those thir-
teen years It would be difficult to de-
tail just how much interest has been
paid by the district, but II would run
into the thousands Of dollars, without
n doubt. AS a starter for the debt
the new Lincoln school was built out
of the general fund Of the district and
the old building was moved to the
Junction. Since that time, fortunate
ly, there has been no need of addi-
tiOnal room and the district has mar
aged to get along without accumulat-
ing any large increased Indebtedness.
There are, however, some repairs
that now require attention, among
them improving or rebuilding the
heating plant at the high school that
may throw the district a little behind
again at the beginning of the next
school year, but this will he wiped
out before the end of the year and
all will be smooth sailing.

new move that should result in a
better condition Of school houses and
school grounds at the beginning of
next school year, by employing Aug
ust Hellerman, janitor OF the high
school, TO look after them during the
long vacation months. In years past
except for an occasional moving of
the weeds, the grounds have been neg

and flowers and the development of
the lawns during recent years it was
thought to the best interests of the
property and the patrons TO keep the
grounds in thorough order all sum-
mer and the engaging OF Mr.. Heller
man to do the work means that it will
be properly looked after.

WILL LIGHT THE HOSPITAL
ELECTRIC CURRENT TO BE FUR.
NlsAED FROM NORFOLK.
E. A. BULLOCK CLOSES CONTRACT
All Night Service TO be Given the Nor.
folk Hospital for the lnsane--Line
OF Wire 20 Connect Win the Power
Plant In Town.

From Fridays panyl
The Norfolk Electric Light and
Power company will furnish electric
lights for the Norfolk hospital for the
insane, contract TO that effect having
been awarded Il, A. Bullock by the
board Of public lands and buildings.
The contract is based on the price Of
10 cents per kilowatt the first year, s
cents per kilowatt the second year,
der the contract Mr.. Bullock con
structs n line of wire from his electric
plant in Norfolk 10 the hospital. deliv.
crinE the current there, where II Is
measured. The fixed investment
must be installed before any revenue
can be derived, which explains why a
lower price can be made after the
first year. Even at the price Of 10
cents II is considered that lights will
be furnished the hospital cheaper than
the institution could operate a plant
of It's own. To run the old hospital
plant, which has been used eighteen
years, would need considerable ex-
pensive repairs to put II in shape to
operate cheaply. II would require the
services OF an extra man and the coal
would have TO he hauled three miles
from the railroad station with which
to keep up steam. Transmitting elec.
tricity by wire Is far cheaper than
hauling II in the shape of heavy coal
over more or less bad roads, and Mr.
Bullock Is able to do well in furnish.
ing lights at a less price than the
state could produce them itself. A
little extra load at the power station
simply means more coal hut no more
men, an item that enters very mate
the institution.
Connecting with the city service,
gives the hospital current at all
hours of the day or night, whereas the
custom used to be to dispense with
electric lights after 10 o'clock at night
and use kerosene oil lamps until morn
ing, an institution dangerous to both
life and property whore used in an
insane hospital. Particularly Is this
true in the cottage system of hospi.
tails. where forty or fifty patients will
sleep in one room. In wards of this
character II is necessary to have
lights all night, and oil lamps are
very poor contrivance to have where
there are so many insane people.
Arrangements are being made at
the Hastings hospital for an all night
electric light service, and it will not
be many years until all such institu.
tions will be similarly lighted. As
well as being a bad thing to he in
the reach of insane people, oil lamps
are very dangerous because OF the
extra fire hazard they entail to prop
erty.
The contract further provides that
at the end of two years, If the state
board decides to try operating its own
plant until 10 o'clock, that Mr.. Bullock
will furnish lights after 10 o'clock for
10 cents per kilowatt. Thus the board
was able to secure anything it wanted
in the way of terms of the contract,
because the city plant has greater
capacity than it has business, and II
can be more proftably run up to its
full power 1t is a good contract for
the state and good contract for Mr..
Bullock.
