During the week $3.50 acres were selected.

physical drawbacks. some locators have

into the United States land office OF Salt

TRUSTEES To HEAR
BIENNIAL REPORT
Appropriation Will Have to Be
Increased Because Of
Schools Growth.
Special to The Tribune.

special TO The Tribune.
OGDEN. Dec, 1.-THE board Of trus-
tees of the state school for the deaf and
blind will meet tomorrow afternoon,
when Superintendent briggs will submit
his biennial report OF the school affairs.
Mr.. Drigss says that the school mas never
been more prosperous In its history than
1t Is now, splendid results having been
attained In the work Of the institution
In the past two years.
There are fifteen more students In the
school now than there we're two years
ago and It is expected that the atten-
dance will increase materially within
the next two years No deficit will be
reported by the superintendent, the S70.-
600 appropriation of the last Legislature
having been used in q way TO meet all
the urgent demands OF the institution.
AS Mr.. briggs puts 1t. 'the school has
lived within its means"
II Is the opinion OF the superintendent
that the appropriation necessarily will
have to be larger this time, because of
the increased cost OF living and the in
creased attendance at the school. The
only source OF revenue the school has,
outside OF the regular appropriation from
the legislature, is the product OF an or
chard which furnishes almost all the
fruit needed in the school.
