| spicuous places and that notice was
given in the newspapers, the attend
ance at the meeting was insignificant.
The five members of the board COM
posed nearly half the meeting.
After the gathering was called to
order by Chairman ]. w. Maloney,
Dr.. c. J. Smith made a statement rel
ative to the financial needs and con-
ditions of the district He said the
assessed value of the property in the
district was approximately $4,000, 900
and that $4,000 would be needed for
the general and contingent expenses
of the district for the ensuing year.
This was the amount secured last
year from all sources. This sum OF
money enabled the board of directors
to conduct the schools throughout the
year, fit up several new rooms and
pay off $4,000 of the old school bonds
which are drawing six per cent inter
est. There still remains about s10,-
600 of the old bonds and the board
figured that with $4,000 for the
present year and with no school
rooms to be fitted up that it will be
possible to pay off halt the remain
ing bonded Indebtedness.
1t was also stated, however, that in
order to bring in the $4,000 that it
would be necessary to levy tax high
enough to provide an additional 81
600 as that amount would be lost
through rebates allowed for early
payments and through delinquent tax
es.
1t was estimated that 81. 900 would
be received from the county per cap-
ita tax. $500 from the state per cap
ita tax, leaving about $22, 900 to De
raised by the special tax. When the
$1,000. which Will be lost in the COL
lecting is added to this amount, 1t
makes $4,000 to be raised by the
special tax. 4 little figuring showed
that a five mill levy would make
nearly exactly that amount so that
was the levy made.

reduction Of at least 25 per cent IN
the carload rates from the East.
This demand is made by the snip

brief. to be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Mr.. stephens ryakes heated argu-
ment in his brief for incorporating the
terminal rate clause in franchises Is
sued by the city to railroads. He gays
in part:
Now. Mr.. Woodworth advanced the
idea of loss of revenue, and among
other things he said the Milwaukee Is
building to Spokane. There is pro-
nosltion to tack on to the franchise tho
milwaukee will ask for that If they
get into Spokane that they give Spo'

I e. 1.fficult to reach the conclusion
that that would be fair condition tc
nut in a franchise, but Mr.. Wood
