FAYORS GENEROUS TAXES
T.. B. WALKER BELIEVES IN LIB
ERAL LEVY FOR LIBRARY AND
SCHOOLS.

T. B. Walker, president of the library
board, appeared before the board Of tax
levy yesterday to enlighten the mem
bers on the needs of the public library
system. He asked for a full half mill
levy, which is the maximum allowed the
library board. While in the presence
Of the tax board Mr.. Walker improved
toward the school and library boards.
In his opinion, the average taxpayer is
not disposed to grumble over the taxes
if he knows the money is to be honest
ly expended.
It. is not expected, he argued, that
municipal institutions can be conducted
as economically as private concerns
and the people are willing to make al
lowances. He did not think that it
levy exceeded 25 mills. In the course
of his remarks he stated that the state
board Of equalization Disseminated
against Minneapolis and in favor of
st. Paul.
The board had an interesting confer
ence with Andrew Rinker, the city en-
gineer, who shed light on the public i'm
provements, which ought to be con-
structed next year. The total de-
including new fire stations, permanent
bathhouse, and the completion Of the
garbage crematory plant and armory,
aggregate $536,l0O. The charter places
a limit Of 21a mills as the levy for
permanent improvements. This will
yield only $437, 500, which means that
the board of tax levy must cut at least
100000 in this fund alone.
Mr.. Rinker made special plea for
$4,000 for a stone crusher, $4,000 for
"good roads,' $4,000 for sewer re-
no;rs and GAO OOO for bridre ranairs
The condition of many of the bridges,
he said, is dangerous. In his opinion it
is the duty Of various railway compa-
MES to make these repairs, but as they
have refused to do it the city cannot
shirk the responsibility.
Mr.. Rinker spoke at length Of the
proposed sewer to Armour's new pack
ingtown. This sewer, he pointed out,
should be laid in the stockyards road
to connect with the trunk sewer in
Tenth avenue Sc He estimated the
cost at $4,000. 49, - 3. - ..

KILLED BY LIGHTNING

Mrs. Augusta Melby, 4738 Beard ave-
instantly killed late yesterday after
noon while sitting with her little daugh-
ter in the parlor Of her home.
At the moment the house was struck
she was sitting on a couch and it was
there her body was found when neigh
bors ran into the house after seeing
flames and smoke coming out Of the
windows. The bolt that caused her
death burned her body and fractured
her collarbone and three ribs.
The house was set on fire, and. altho
the neighbors heard the crash, it was
several minutes before they could tell
what had been struck. AS soon as the
cottage was seen, to be burning they
ran to the place and dragged the body
of Mrs. Melby to the yard. The dead
woman's clothing was afire at the time.
The fire department was summoned, but
as the Melby home is nine blocks from
hydrant, the building was burned
to the ground. 4 The furniture was
saved by the fremen. ~.
Mrs. Melby was. the wife of Theo-
Harry B. Cramer. She was % years
old and leaves daughter years old.

Carrying six victims of the New
Prague railroad disaster, the relief
train sent out by the Minneapolis & St..
Louis road arrived in Minneapolis late
yesterday. Ambulances from every
hospital in the city met the train.
Victims Are Cheerful.
AS the train of three cars passed the
station platform and came to a stand
still in front Of the line Of ambulances
the anxious bystanders were given
their first glimpse Of the wreck victims
The scene should have been intensely
pathetic, according to all the indica-
tions before the train arrived, but
there were few heroics and the victims
visible thru the open windows of the
cars, waved their hands to the crowds,
dispelling the fears of the anxious
friends. Aided by the police, the hos
pital assistants bundled the injured
into the ambulances and hurried them
to the hospitals.
No Fatal Cases.
It is not thought that any Of the men
who were conveyed to Minneapolis on
the relief train yesterday are fatally
injured and at the hospitals it is given
out that all are doing well. George A,
