TEACHERS MAY
GET SALARIES
City Treasurer BanteI to,
Confer With State Con-
trOlier. !.
Effort to Be Made to DraW
Upon Moneys That Are
Due From City.

City Treasurer Bantel and Deputy
Treasurer John F. McGlynn left yes
terday for Sacramento. where they wiz
confer with State Controller ColgsL
relative TO the payment OF the salaries
of teachers and other employees of the
local Public School Department
Bantel on May paid some teachers
their April salary demands. But Book
keeper Tomalty discovered that tn
fund was exhausted and had been
overdrawn to the extent Of $4,000 O,
$4,000. This was not caused by an
diversion of the funds TO pay police
men and hremen as was erroneous!
reported, but simply because the ca
lamity had interfered in a large meas
ure with the payment OF taxes ana
consequently there was no money on
hand 10 pay the salaries.
In former times 1t was the custom
when a fund was exhausted to borroN
temporarily from another fund to pay
salaries, but the city officials, haNe
agreed that such a course woGd no,
be wise in the present emergency.
Bantel will endeavor to get a writ
ten authorization from Controller Coi-
gan permitting the city TO retain sum
cient moneys out of $260,o00 ,on ham,
in the treasury, but due the State to
pay at least two months salaries o.
teachers. 1t Is estimated that the
amount to come from the State appor-
tioument for the support OF the San
Francisco schools will aggregate some
100000, based on the average daily
attendance OF pupils under normal
conditions.
This money will not come, however,
until the annual settlement is made
with the. State, which Will be the last
week IN May.
The sum of 100000 in round mum
bers will be needed to pay salaries OF
teachers and janitors for April and
May, and If the consent of Controller
Colgan is obtained the money due the
State will not be sent to Sacramento
bat will be credited against the
100000 to come from the States ap-
portionment.
1t is expected that the salaries foI
June will also be paid, as considerable
money is now being collected for taxes
OF which IA cents on every 500 will
be accredited to the schools. Checks
to the amount OF 100000 have al
ready been deposited for taxes, and az
soon as they have been cashed the
money will be made available This Is
in addition to about s1,000.000 which
will be collected in taxes before the
penalties are imposed, which will
however, only be after the legal holi-
days come to an end. These will
probably cease on June I or f.

a Good Garden Fence.
IF. B. WeSt.)

am going to tell your many read
ers how to build a garden fence that
will protect their gardens from all
kinds of poultry, turkeys Included
This fence has been in use for three
wears. and from every point OF view
il has proved a success. Now is the
time to build this fence and have II
ready for use when needed. Inc ma
terials needed are posts feet long, or
10 feet would be better; poultry net
ting A feet wide; enough galvanized
No. IA smooth wire to reach around
the garden, and piece OF barpWire
of same length; staples to fasten the
netting to the posts and staples or "a
larger size to fasten the smooth ana
barbwire to the posts. Set posts IN
tbe ground two feet and set them
firm and secure. Brace the corner
nosts but do not have the top of the
brace over Az feet from the ground.
When posts are set and braced stretch
smooth wire two inches from the
ground and fasten with the large
STAPLES. When this is done stretch
the barbwire five feet above the
smooth wire and fasten to the posts'
same as smooth wire.
We are now ready for the poultry

only country showing an increased
production. For the fiscal year OF
1906 the export of hops from this
country amounted to 13,O26,9O4
pounds, valued at $3,125,80O OF the
exports the United Kingdom took IL
947.616 pounds. 1t appears that the
United Kingdom consumes nearly all
of the American export of hops. The
heavy failure of the crop in continent
tai Europe as well as in England
will probably create a very large de
mand for the American product, and
result in greatly increasing the price.
American hops have, for many years
commanded the best price IN torelgh
markets, especially in England. The
average price, in 1905, was $0.1S16 per
pound, that of the American product
being $O.2334 per pound. All this is
very comforting to American hop pro-
ducers.
