the Insane w. l. Duke. OF Whining
ton. his commitment being on com
plant OF his wife and n son-in law

Postmaster Briggs from Washington
for him 20 open a postal savings bank
department in connection with the
post Office here. The necessary sup

needed.
Thete is q strong probability now
that the State may not have to borrow
the s250.000 that che Council OF State
authorized under special act OF the
Legislature. The need for 1t to meet
current expenses was on account OF
expected delay In the cert!iication OF
the tax assessments nv the Corporation
Commission against the railroads nnd
other corporations. especially the rail.
roads, and the commission now advises
the Governor that the certifcattons car
be made at once. so that the State
Treasurer can proceed with the collec.
ton OF the railroad taxes. This will
afford ample funds for all the imme.
date needs OF the State.
