ALL CITY SCHOOLS
TO CLOSE FRIDAY
Students Will Probably Assemble Fri
day For Last Time in the Old
Frame Building.

All of the schools in Vinita will
close tomorrow. This is in reality the
-..sl day of school for the children will
only be required to report tomorrow
morning for the purpose of receiving
their grades.
The year just closing has been by
far the most progressive year in the
history of Vinitas public schools, and
a good year is also reported at Sacred
Heart Institute.
Tomorrow the pupils will probably
assemble in the old frame building for
the last time. for if the plans of the
school board materialize this old
building will soon be removed to make
way for the handsome new high
school building that will be erected
during the fall and summer months
This old building is landmark in the
town. 1t was erected by the Congre-
gational Board of Home Missions in
1882, and was used as a sectarian
school, known as Worcester Academy
for seventeen years. In 1899 the city
purchased the buildings and block Of
ground for the city public schools. The
enrolment of the latter has SO increas-
ed that the old building is no longer
ample and it must give way to new
one.

for him they had faithful friend
and ally.
Pennell moved that Miss Hoff, the
music teacher be notified that the
board is in favor of her retention
and that If the new superintendent
whose duty IL is to make all recon-
mendations to the board, favors her,
as 1t anticipate she will be re-em-
ployed. This the board approved
of.
A motion was maze to investigate
the record of applicants for high
school positions as Mr.. Hartman will
arrive here rather late in the sum-
mer. They did not agree on this,
so the motion was with drawn.
Mr. Frank reported his assistant
i'll at this time and asked that he be
authorized to procure a substitute
during her absence. This Will be
done.
The matter of Miss Fishers alb
sence was reported TO the board {.
She left before school was out and
did not gain the necessary permis-
sion from the superintendent as is
necessary by law. There is also
a law which states that all substi-
tutes shall be secured by the Super
intendent to fill temporary absences.
Miss Fisher sent in her sister Miss
Ruth Fisher, to take her place but
as she was not officially hired to fill
the position, she received no pay for
the weeks work, although her bill
was sent in. The board felt as Miss
Fisher had dis-regarded all laws
and had not gained the necessary
permission from the superintendent
who alone has authority to grant
leave of-absence, and to fill the
temporary vacancies that they
should deal with the matter in a
rather stringent way that it might
not esta blish bad precedent.
Mr.. Frank also reported Miss
Freeland absent for one day. Miss
Freeland obtained permission to &c
and asked for a substitute. Mrs.
Trey taught in Miss Freelands place
till noon when Miss Eleanor Free
land dismissed her and taught the
rest of the day. Miss Eleanor was
not paid by Mr.. Frank as she was
not officially hired.

All the members were present
when the school board met in regular
session last evening in the high
school. The census Enumeration
for the year of 1910 was submitted to
the board in connection with the
question of providing for the i'm
crease for the next school year. The
Enumeration for this year is 4790, an
increase of $50 over last year which
was 434O. Tho number for 1910,
however is not as high as for the
year of 1907 when the high water
mark was reached, the number being
4SOO.
In the report OF the finance com
mittce IL was stated that there were
s3524.7 in the treasury to last till
October. This is the best financial
showing the board has made in a
number of years, as they are usually
compelled to borrow at this time.
The buildings and grounds com
mittee reported that the State school
commissioner would soon be in Mar
ion to inspect the buildings, in com
pany with the board members, to
ascertain If there be any deficiencies
or impaired conditions.
Jacoby suggested at this time that
certain portions of the school
grounds be opened as a public play
ground for the children in the city.
He stated that the children, the boys
especially, have no place to play ball
but in the streets, and that as the
ianitors are employed through the
summer months and are at the build
ings through the day, that no pos
sble harm could come of 1t. and
that it would keep the boys off the
streets The board una nimouslyy
agreed that this was a splendid idea,
and voted to have this done. Dick
erson stated he had no objection II
no admission was to be charged al
the gates.
The resignation of Isaiah Jones,
employed as janitor at the high
school building was handed the
board last evening. The board ac.
cepted his resignation as Mr.. Jones
wishes to retire, but it was unan-
imously voted that they extend the

APPRAISERS
ARE BOTHERED
Many Calls Made at Their
Quarters.
PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
Say Valuations are Too
Steep.
Board of City Appraisers Cannot
Complete It's Work Within the Re-
quircd Time and the Board of Re-
view May Complete IL.

The city board of land appraisers
is grinding away at It's task in an
effort to get it completed before the
expiration of the time, July /. The
appraisers state that they will not
be able to properly complete the work
by that time, but that they will drop
il and leave 1t incomplete unless some
provision for extending their time
and providing for their pay be found.
Not all of the property in the city
has been appraised, some valuations
have been placed too low while 9th
ers are too high. The work of cut
ting down some and increasing others
will require a great deal of time and
IL no extension of time Is given the
appraisers, their report to the audi
tor will be very incomplete and not
satisfactory to either the appraisers
or the auditor.
The work of the board will be
gone over by the city board of review
before it Is finally ready for the dupli-
cate and this board will practically
have to complete the work which
should have been done by the board
of appraisers. Since the ruling of
the attorney general that this board
will have the power to increase but
not diminish the aggregate tax dupli-
cate. there will pe given 1t greater
field in which to work.
The appraisers room in the base
ment of the court house Is visited
daily by quite number OF property
owners who have objections to regis
, ter against the valuations which have
been placed upon their property. One
of the appraisers stated recently that
If the kickers could only be kept out
for few days the board would be
able to get its work into shape.
There Is no doubt but that the
values in the city will be very ma
terially increased. In some instances
the values have been doubled and
in others the increase has been more
radical. 1t is probable that some of
the values will have to be decreased
before the duplicate Is made and If
he work goes to the board of review,
where there is a reduction in one in
stance there must be a corresponding
increase in others, because the board
of review has not the power to re-
