Der 81, 1895. there was some improvement in the

militia New York leads, with l4,7l1, and Pennsyl-
Valia Is next. with 9S36. Illinois IS third with 6,6l3

KEPPEL SAYS &C UNITY
SCHOOL FUNDS ARE AMPLE.
Superintendent Declares Extra Tax
Levy Disposes of Anxiety and
That Surplus Is Expected
at TERMS End

Mark Keppel. county superintendent OF
schools, denies the report that the county
school funds are so low as to put IN
question the payment of salaries 70
teachers for the past month.
Although the county school funds are
lower now than at any time during the
past five years. yet there is enough to
meet all requirements.
1t is not ordinarily the, case that a
shortage is experienced by the county
school authorities so early in the year,
and it was only the present years un-..
usual enrolment, necessitating the en-
ployment of additional instructors. which
could give cause for anxiety.
Mr.. Keppel said yesterday: Il do not.
think there will be any difficulty of meet,
ing further requirements by the county
school authorities at any time. An extra
tax levy, which was imposed by the
supervisors during the year, Is due the
coming month. With this additional sum
in the county school treasury we Will be
able to handle the financial end of af-.
fairs here until the close of the year, and
even then. if I have estimated correctly.
we shall still have a surplus.

TO DISCUSS MEANS OF
RAISING FUNDS FOR PARK
PLANS OF IMPRo yEMENTs ARE
PREPARED
Contributions Have Already Been Do
mated for Work Suggested for
Ceding of Agricultural
Park to City

A meeting will be held Thursday at 3
o'clock in the Thorpe building by the
Sixth District Agricultural association,
through whose efforts a motion has been
set on foot to convert Agricultural park.
which in the past has been used for state
fairs and other exhibitions, into beau
tiful city park.
The object of the meeting will be to
devise plans for raising fund of $l0O
or $4,000 with which improvements will
be commenced Immediately. Many prop
erty owners who have real estate hold
ings In the district adjoining the park
have suggested their willingness to con-
tribute and several have already made
donations.
During the meeting to be held Thurs
day, H. H. Dwight, the landscape artist
who has been engaged by the association
and the park commissioners to draw plans
and specifications for scenic and land
scape effects and other improvements,
will present his ideas to the association
for approval. 1t Is likely that the plans
of the artist will be accepted as final.
The Sixth district board, at recent
meeting. voted that the park should be
decided to the city and thrown open to the
public as general park. Heretofore the
