The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-01-27

longer be truly said, that there are | not proper school facilities for the children of school age. And the wisdom of the policy that we have pursued from the outset, of providing special one mill yearly tax for new school buildings, rather than bonding therefor, has been fully vindicated. Were we to bond for new school build 1ngs, as many advocated at the date of consolidati tion of town and city, our debt would now be of alarming propor- tions.
 I advocate continuance of the same policy in the construction of primary schools,-pay as we go. When 1t becomes necessary,-as it will in the very near future,-to con- struct' e new high school building, then I woulG advocate a new departure. A high school stands in a separate class from the primary schools, in my Judgment. It ought to be a much bet ter, and consequently a more expensive building
 I have no doubt that it will be gen. orally recognized that it would be un- reasonable to expect that a new high school could, or ought to be paid for, by a direct tax in one or two years. Much as I dislike going in debt, my advice would be, build a high school sufficient to meet the wants of the city for fifty years to come, bond for it, and make the life of the bonds equal, in point of time, to the permanent irn- provemerlt bonded for.
 Care of Poor.
 During the present fiscal year there will be a deficit in the appropriation of rthe department of public charities, and I recommend, of course, the full amount asked for to meet it..
 During the next year, owing to the E1arked improvement in business con- dftions, we will not, trust, have so many dependent persons. The city's poor must, at all events, be properly cared for, and means sufficient for that purpose must be provided. All that we can consistently ask is: that the money provided shall be used in the most advantageous manner, for the benefit of the city's charges, and that up-to-d date business methods shall ap- ply in the administration of the affairs of the charities department.
 Tax Rates.
 recommend the following tax rates: ]. In the First District, six and six kenths mills
 < In the Second District, eight and nine-tenths mills.
 Making a total tax rate, in both dis- sricts, of fifteen aud ffve-tenths mills on each dollar of the city's grand list.
 This rate is one-tenth mill less than the rate of last year.
 Following are the appropriations re- commended by me. in the First Dis erict:

AS usual, schools call for the largest single requisition, $320. .162.50 for care and support, and the proceeds of one mill tax estimated at $78,900 addition al for new school buildings, or $399,- G62.50 in all. We have about reached the point where the proceeds of 8 one- mill tax will enable the board to con- struct two new school buildings, each year. Surely, this increased accommo- dation ought to be more than ample to provide for the increased school at tendance from year to year. It will only be a short time, if we continue our present policy, when it can no

I believe that our experience has clearly demonstrated that it is for the best interest of the city that perma- nent pavement, so called, either stone, brick or wood. should be laid on our city streets as fast as practicable, in preference to either macadam or top dressed streets. The latter do not ap- pear to be able to withstand the wear and tear of modern traffic as well as. do the former.
 Better to keep the paved. macada- mixed and top dressed streets we now have in as good repair as possible and expend such monies as we can afford. in putting down pavenents of the

The large and substantial barn Oh
the premises of Mr.. T. F. Gatewoo1
out Lee street, was destroyed by fire
at noon yesterday together with all
of its contents of hay, corn and other
provender, Mr.. Gatewood having quite
recently put in supply sufficient for
the winter.
Two buggies and sets of harness
were burned, while a wagon and other
equipment was saved though in dam
aged condition.
Two horses were stalled in the barn
at the time and the animals were
saved only with difficulty. Both were
SCARED by the flames ere they could
be dragged from the fire to places of

The building, with its contents Of
hay and grain, made very dense
smoke, and viewed from the business
section, it looked like a conhagration
in the southern suburbs. Thinking
this the case, hundreds of people fol-
lowed the fire trucks and watched the
firemen work,
The fire was confined to the barn,
and the loss will aggregate probably

KILLING OF ". F. MCREE
AND TRIAL OF SLAYER.
Trial of Patterson Next
Wednesday.

The killing of Mr.. w. f. McRee
who was shot to death by Henry Pat-
terson, negro employed on the Ray
Bagley plantation in July last, will
be investigated at this term of the
superior court. The case was called
yesterday morning in making up the
docket and assigned for Wednesday,
Henry Patterson, who confessed so
the killing, is in Jail here, where he
has been since his capture the day
after the crime.
The killing of Mr.. McRee. who was
superintendent of the plantation or
chards, is well remembered. HIS
dead body was found next morning
lying in a pool of blood from pistol
wound in his throat.
The body was within fifty or sixty
yards of Patterson's house, in the ne
gro quarter and not far distant from
his own domicile. 1t was said at the
time that Mr.. McRee was endeavoring
to locate an escaped convict who was
thought to be lurking among the ne
groes on the plantation.
Patterson fed the scene and was
captured next day concealed in barn
on a neighboring plantation. Lynch
ing was narrowly averted.
The trial of the case will be at
tended with considerable interest. So
licitors Williams and Childers will be
assisted by Messrs. Dykes and Nisbet,
while Mr.. C. r. Winchester will look
after Patterson's side of it.

The Election of Bishops.

No. one knows who the new bish-
ops are to be-" said Mr. Anthony
There are no nominations and the
members of the governing board of
Methodism cast their votes for whom
they choose until there is a selection
by the majority.
1t is a great injustice to any man
to say that he may be elected a bish-
op If his friends wish to present
him it is wrong to announce their
intentions beforehand because of the
fact that when man is thus brought
before the public he is singled out
possibly by those who have other
friends to present and his cause is
weakened.
1.-THE secular press does not seem
to understand this. The very worst
thing that can happen to mans
chances, even if he has any idea that
| his friends will urge his election to
| the bishopric, is to have his name
appearing the newspapers as a proc
| ability
For that reason / have always
declined to- discuss the question OF
| the probable selections. In the first
place it is purely guess work; and, in
| the second, if man has friend
whom he wants to see named, it is
bad policy to bring him out in the
newspapers in the guise of candi-
i date
