l herewith submit the report of the
finances of the School Board for the tis
Cal year ending July 3lst 1906 The state
ment of receipts shows that we received
from the State $685. 6S 33 which was
81, 1888 90 less than the sum received for
the previous year. The County Com
missioners levied$23. 500 for white schools
and 81 500 for colored schools. Thy also
made an extra appropriation of $4,000.
Our expenditures were very heavy. AS
compared with the previous year we
spent So, 149 10 more n teachers salaries.
Ten new teachers were employed, and as
the schools were kept open longer, the
maximum salary was Sab and the min
imum 1921 % and increase to each teacher
of about IS. For repairs we spent 1884 50
more than in the previous year; and for
furniture $765 A. more. The interest on
the Hyattsyille school bonds-a new item
Of expense was $500; and $294.l4, paid
for interest on said bonds in the previous
year out of the building fund, was return
ed to said fund
We spent on colored schools $S,971 "a
and paid on Indebtedness of same 81 $50,
making a total outlay Of $l0,021.34, as
compared with So 23S SO spent the year
previous. bat the schools were open one
month longer, or for eight months. The
Bladensburg School lot was sold for
$500, but only a cash payment of $50 has
been made.
The work in the schools. with few ex-
ceptions, has been good. was able dur.
ing the past year to devote more time to
supervision, but the clerical work of the
Superintendent office has greatly in
creased in recent years.
There should be readjustment OF
| teachers salaries. The pril cipals Of our
large schools should receive more pay
Teachers. who hold 1st grade certificates
| and who have had experience, deserve
and should receive more compensation
than those who are just beginning to
teach and who may be so fortunate as tn
secure appointment to large schooi2. This
is a defect in the system of paying
teachers which has been in operation in
this county for so many years.

LOSS WILL
REACH A BILLION
OR MORE OF
DOLLARS.

News was flashed over the
wires that on Wed. morning
the 18th inst, that SanFrancisco
the largest city of the West, had
oeen completely destroyed by an
earthquake and by FIRE, and the
loss of life will reach 1000 or
people.
News of terrible loss of life
and destruction of property is
very meyer at this time.
From reports the earthquake
commenced at 5:15 o'clock in the
morning and continued for 43
seconds, and it was of such force
that the entire city was tumbled
to the ground, Following the
earthquake the broken electric
wires set the ruined city on fire.
And added to the horrible state
of affairs the water pipes were
all broken, and no fresh water
could be obtained to extinguish
the flames or for drinking pur-
poses.
Without doubt the disaster is
the greatest of its kind in the
history of America, and closely
approaches in magnitude many
of the greatest earthquake dis
asters of the world.
After the shock which wreck
ed the city, fames broke out in
scores of the demolished build
ings and the entire business cen
ter of the great city was swept
by fire. The water supply was
cut off and the only method of
checking the progress OF the
flames was the destruction OF
buildings by dynamite.
At an early hour this morning
it was apparent that practically
the entire city was doomed, the
flames having gained such head
way that even dynamite would
not stay their progress. The

city is under martial law and
and soldiers are shooting down
ghouls who are robbing the
dead.
There was another sharp
earthquake during the night,
but it could add nothing to the
terrible damage. Stanford uni
versity lies in ruins, the insane
asylum at Agnews was demolish-
ed and most of the several hun
dred inmates killed, but by some
strange freak the University of
California at Berkeley escaped.
Santa Cruz, San Jose, Santa
Rosa and all of the surrounding
towns are wrecked, but the loss
of life and extent of damage is
unknown.
Oakland, April 49, San Fran
cisco, the Western metropolis of
the United States, the Mecca of
all who tour the continent, is
this morning practically in ruins
Her magnificent business blocks
and handsome homes are a mass
of wreckage, the result of earth
quake and fire, which followed
in the wake of the upheval.
The calamity is the greatest in
the United States. 5000, 900, 600
or more of property was des-
troyed and a loss of life estimat-
ed at from 500 to 1000.
Early Wednesday morning the
earthquake occurred, and since
then it has been chaos. Great
buildings toppled over, burying
their inmates in the debris.
Last night at 7:15 o'clock an
other upheval occurred and great
which had withstood
the shocks of the morning fell
as did the others during the day.
The great newspaper buildings
of the Call and Examiner were
gutted. The Chronicle building
was the only one in that portion
of the city which withstood the
shocks and the fire which fol-
lowed.
The Merchants Exchange, the
Crocker- Woolworth bank build
ing, the city hall. the Palace
hotel, the mint, were ruined.
The flames spread to the resi-
dence district, and at this time
it appears that a magnificent
will have been wiped off the
map.
One hundred thousand people
are homeless; thousands have
lost their all.
