Will CARE FOR DISTRICTS NEEDS
FOR MANY YEARS
CONSTRUCTION IS BEING RUSHED
Mr. GundIseh Hopes to Progress With the
Work So That Men May Work All
Winter.

In another column appears hall
tone picture of the new grade schoo
building which is being erected by th,
school district of Crystal Falls. Th,
picture is taken from bnilding which
iL Identical with the Crystal Fall'
Building in everything excepting the
basement The cut is of building
with three stories and basement the
Crystal Falls building will be minus
the basement. Only sufficient space
for the heating plant has been excava.
ted by the Crystal Falls school and the
said heating plant is to be sort OF a
dual affair that viii furnish heat for
both the high school and the grade
. building
Some idea of the immensity of the
JOB Mr.. Gundlach has on his hands
may be gathered from the tact that
5000 yards OF concrete was necessary
for the foundation of this building.
The major portion of the foundation
work is now complete and brick layers
and masons are busy with the walls Of
the superstructure. 10 was the original
intention 10 set about 40 masons at
work with the intention of getting the
building so inclosed that the inside
work may be carried on all winter.
II this plan can be carried ont the
building will be ready for occupancy
next fall at the time school begins
A mining man from Minnesota while
looking over the grounds ard the work
already done on the new building
spoke highly OF the wisdom of the
school board in getting hold Of suf-
ficient ground. centrally located 10
provide for the wants of the school dis
trict Tor all time. He says that the
~ OF this foresight on the part OF
boil boards in this new country has
been the cause of much worry and ex-
pense in other towns where he has
been. Crystal Falls has beautiful
tract OF land right in the center of
population. II will not be many years
until another school building will have
10 be built as the opening mp OF the
vast new mineral finds together with
the certain development OF our agricul-
tural resources will necessitate more
room ere many years go by. Sufficient
ground has been secured 40 that the
district will never need TO buy more
and its school buildings can be grouped
about the play ground and thus much
economy in heating and maintenance
effected, not to mention the rise in
: value OF the real estate holdings.
The new building complete with fur.
nishings will cost about $i95, 600 and
the saving on coal effected will go a
long way towards paying interest, The
old central building which the new
building in the main supplants is a
fuel waster ana the board will be glad
when that source of unnecessary ex
pense is removed
The disposition OF the old building
and site IL not decided upon but II
must be retained for educational pur
poses because of n clause in the deed.
It wonld be nm ideal site for a library
or some building Of educational pur-
pose bud will probably IN time be put
y that purpose.

FIX SUPERVISORS STATUS
May Serve on Committee in Charge
of Building Courthouse, Says
Asst. Attorney General.

Madison.-That a member of
county board of supervisors may
serve as a member of a committee of
such board, in charge of building
courthouse Or other county building
and receive pay for a reasonable
number of days of service as such
committeeman at rate not exceed
ing that allowed to members as per
diem and mileage, is held in an opin-
ion by Assistant Attorney General W.
w. Gilman.
In the same opinion it is held that
a member OF the county board may
not be employed by such board to
superintend the construction of coun-
ty buildings. That a member of such
board may be appointed to sit as
member of the income tax board OF
review is asserted, however, as that
office is a state office and in no way
conflicts with that of supervisor or
member of the county board of SUI
pervisors. And, finally, it is held that
a bank, stakeholder of which is
member of a county board of super
visors, may not be permitted to buy
the bonds of such county.

disposes of an estate valued at $751;

lar quarterly meeting of the directors.
Earnings, after charging interest on
subsidiary company's bonds together
with interest on outstanding subsidiary
bonds amounted to only $17,S26,973.

depreciation and other regular fixed
charges, including the sinking fund,
net earnings were reduced to ST.. 10S,-
415.
A further deduction of $5,741 1899,
representing interest for the quarter
on the outstanding issues, reduced
the balance applicable to dividends
to $6,366,566. Inasmuch as $12,65S,7O0
was necessary to meet dividend re-
quirements on the preferred and COM
mon shares, deficit Of $6,292,13 was
created. In the language of the OIL
cial statement this was provided from

TO STOP RECKLESS BANKING
Agreement by 200 Banks Necessary
to Carry Out Project of De-
post insurance.

Madison.-To carry out the plan to
insure deposits of state banks
through mutual insurance COM
pany, at least 200 of the 500 state
banks will have to agree to the pro-
posal, according to State Bank Com
missioner A. E. Kuolt. Under the
state law a mutual company must
have at least 200 policy holders.
Mr.. Kuolt says the insurance plan
outlined by the bankers will have
tendency to wipe out reckless bank
ing, by insuring only banks which
pay what is regarded as a safe rate
of interest The bankers insurance
plan insures in full deposits on which
3 per cent is paid. 1t insures 90
per cent of deposits on which per
cent is paid. A depositor promised
more than 4 per cent assumes his
own risk

HOLDS TEACHERS
PAYMENTS VALID
insurance Fund Law Upheld by
Attorney General.
SIMILAR CASES ARE CITED
Police and Firemen Pensions DeClar-
ed Constitutional. and Same Rea-
soning Applies to Teachers Pen
sion, Says Bancroft.

Madison. 323 of the laws
Of 1911, known as the teachers IN
surance and retirement fund law, is
held constitutional in an opinion by
Attorney General Bancroft in re-
spouse to an inquiry by State Treas
urer Dahl.
Treasurer Dahl is prompted to
make the inquiry by the fact that
warrants are coming to him for pay
ment under the provisions OF the law.
The statute creates a teachers IN
surance and retirement fund to be
made up of so-cal1ed assessments
upon the salaries of all teachers COM
ing within the provisions of the act,
and of an amount set aside annually
from the so-called seven-tenths mill
tax equal to 10 cents for each per-
son of school age in the state. These
assessments are not paid by the
teachers, but are retained from their
salaries by the school board. Inc
fund thus created is used for pay
ing certain annuities or pensions to
retired teachers.
Whether this law in fact results In
the taking of private property with
out compensation or in the grant
ing of public money in aid of any
individual association or corporation,
are held by the attorney general to
be questions already determined by
the courts negatively, and leaves the
material objection that the payment
of public funds under this act is not
for public purpose-"it is automatic
that public funds can be used only
for public purposes.
The attorney general points out
that the courts have held laws CIV
ing pensions to policemen and fire
men to be valid, land it is difficult
to see why the same reasoning should
not apply in the case of teachers in
the public schools"

erything is in shape, the commit
tees have the bills which have been
drawn and the legislature ought to
begin to do business right away after

River Falls and viewed the situation
there, and will be ready to make a
report Immediately on the opening
of the session There has been
substantial agreement on the water
power bill and other matters. The
fish and game law will be amended
SO as to enable the fish and game de-
partment to take out rough fish. The
amendment to the weights and meas
ures bill is simply to enable those
who have large supply of berry
boxes and crates on hand to use them
up by delaying the operation of the
law for time
