A Winter of Snow.

According to the official records
65f inches of snow have fallen-21
inches more than last winter. The
first snow of the winter occurred
on November la, when eight inches
fell and demoralized the telephone
and telegraph wires, and also put
out of service the trolley lines for
some time. According to the pop
ular superstition, which says the
number of SHOWS during the year
will be the same as the date of the
first one, we should have had only
13 this year. But this has been
refuted, for up until the present
time we have had 36 snowfalls, or
almost three times the number al
lowed by the weatherwise.

School Commissioners.

The Board of School Commission.
ers met on Tuesday. Present,
Messrs. Blake and Carey, DR..
.Jenness absent, due to sickness.
The minutes were read and ap-
proved.
The attention of all teachers and
patrons of our schools, is called to
the change in our school law, made
by our last Legislature, regarding
Washington's Birthday, February
%. The law reads as follows:
On Washington's Birthday the
schools shall devote a portion of
the day to exercises bearing ON the
life and services of "The Father
of our Country"
Heretofore it has been school
holiday with our schools closed,
teachers and pupils engaged in the
walks of busy life. Such custom
failed to accentuate the purposes of
such holiday, for nothing was
done to perpetuate in the mind of
the pupil the memory of Washing
ton, hence the wise change in the
law, which now requires that
suitable program shall be carried
out. Suitable literature for which
has been sent to each teacher.
In this way we hope to instill
into the heart of each child, love
for Washington and our beloved
land.
Bills amounting to $132.56 were
passed and ordered paid. Also the
quarterly accounts as follows:

Bel Air Electric Road.

The January report of receipts
from the first section of the Balti-

shows a net balance over operating
expenses for the month. Nearly
5000 passengers were carried.
There has been het balance over
operating expenses each month
since the line was opened, and the
directors feel satisfied that if so
short a section can be operated with
such satisfactory results, the COM
pletion of the entire line to Bel Air
would show much greater profits.
