fiscal year 1908, the disbursements
were $5s,070,201 in excess OF the E.
ceipts, due to business depression and
increased appropriations Fortunately
the report says, the available cash
balance al the beginning of the fiscal
year was $272 LOCI, 445
The Treasury was called on in
the latter part of October, 1907, to
render assistance in a financial panic
which started in New York city and

entire country. Through Treasury op-
erations during this financial disturb.
ance the amount of public deposits

The report shows that from the
date OF the passage OF the national

tiers were granted to OLA national

OF 'the last fiscal year there were il
operation 6,s27 associations, with au
t.iorized capital stock OF 1890, 542, ia

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an

this tube is inhamed you have a

Increase in Typhoid.

An approximate increase of 10 per
cent. in the number of typhoid fever
cases for November over those of the
corresponding of last year is estimat-
ed by DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary OF
the State Board of Health, from the
reports thus far received from the
secretaries OF the county boards of
health. DR.. Hurry traces the cause
of the increase to the drought of the
late summer season. which affected
almost all the sources of water sup
ply in the state.
Aside from the prevalence of ty-
phoid, ocntagion over the state is re-
markedly low.

MAYORS SEEK NEW LAW.
Executives of Twenty Cities of State
Agree on Abolition of Metropoh-
tan Police Statute.

The mayors of the cities and towns
Of Indiana see good in the abolition
OF the metropolitan police law and
the amendment of the cities and
towns law
At meeting held at indianapolis
attended by the mayors OF twen'y
cities OF the state, steps were taken
TO accomplish both these ends. A
legislative committee was appointed
to draft bill, to be introduced al
the coming session OF the Legislature
repeating the metropolitan police law
lnd amending the cities and towns
act.
The following committee OF may
DTS was appointed: Lawrence Becker
Hammond; Edward ]. Fogartv
South Bend; d. c. Anderson, Hunt
ington; George p Mckee, Logans-
port; w. H. Arnett, Kokomo; l..
barrow, LaPorte: George E Greene,
Vincennes; w. B. Reed, Attica; S
E. Voris, Charlottesville, and W. A
Bridges, Franklin.
The sentiment of the mayors was
that the cities and towns act, in its
present form, worked a hardship on
the smaller cities of the state of the
third and fourth classes in that il
imposed unnecessary expenses on the
taxpayers. The law requires these
cities to maintain police judge, con-
troller, city treasurer and police COM
missioners.
Want Offices Abolished.
The mayors are of the opinion that
the City Councils should have the
privilege of abolishing the Office of
controller when deemed desirable,
combining his duties with those OF
the city clerk; that the mayor should
have the power to act as police judge
and that the county treasurer should
do the work OF the city treasurer. 1t
was also suggested that the Board
or Public Works take the place OF
the Board of Police Commissioners.
The bill to be drafted by the may
ors will also repeal that section of
the cities and towns act which for
bids city officers to succeed them
selves in Office. One of the mayors
present charac terized this feature as
mIAmerican and unreasonable
Mayor Boehne of Evansville stood
alone against the general feeling that
executives should be ineligible to re-
election.
In all other respects the present
cities and towns act was praised by
the mayors Many expressed their
opinion that it would be grave
blunder to repeal the entire law,
since it had been a means for much
good to the cities as we'll as the
smaller towns of the state. With
the amendments suggested the belief
was general that the law would be
perfect in very detail.
