REPORTS

me passing OF the old council
was preceded BY the reading of re-
ports of various officers, including
that OF the city cler which showed
a remarkable improvement over
the financial affairs Of a few years
ago, proving that the city is tend
ing in the right direction, and that
capable men are at the head Of
affairs. One Of the remarkable
things about the report is this, as
pointed out BY Alderman Ryalls,
the chairman Of the finance COM
mittee, that after all warrants have
been paid. including those issued.
at the last meeting the city has at
the close Of the administration a
balance Of cash in hand Of $5OO0,.
besides paying off some $4,000 Of.
the city 5 indeb tedness. All branch
es Of the city's affairs are in good
shape. The municipal court has
proven to be a fine proposition.
and is on a selfpaying basis. The
report fortthe nine months during
which it has run shows a balance
over and above all expendi tures Of
$500, $500 of which are for office
furniture an expense which will
not be required again for years.

The forthcoming report for the year
1909 of Mason S. Stone, State Superin-
tendent of Education, contains much in
formation that is of interest and value to
the people of the State. Among other
things this report shows that the total
number of schools now in the state is
1850, against 1850 in 1908. Rutland
county has the largest number of schools,
254, and Grand Isle county the smallest,
%.
Increase in the number of school weeks
is almost 500 over 1908, and the aggregate
of days attendance of all the pupils in the
state is over 100000 days. The cost of
operating the schools per week has been
SIC, against SIS last year, and cost per
pupil has been S22, against $50 last year.
OF the $4,000 appropriated for trans
portation, Orange county receives the
largest amount, S3,17929, and Windsor
county second, receiving S3.110.12. The
the number of school children has in
creased about 400 since last year, but the
total number of children enumerated is
about 1000 less than last year, due largely
to the negligence of clerks and school
boards and school districts who have
called to make house to house canvass.
