SUGGESTION FOR A BALLOON
Philadelphia Youngster Would Install
Observation-Disclosures Meter When
Gas Began to Run Low.

When the balloon Philadelphia II
passed over the city a few days ago,
the children in one of the public
schools were at recess. A teacher
who took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to give the children a practical
lesson, went out into the school yard
and, calling the children together,
gave talk about balloons, says the
Philadelphia Record. Among other
things she told them that what they
saw coming down was sand, which
they threw out to tighten the balloon
so it would go up higher. After they
returned to the school room she asked
questions regarding what they had
seen. Among other things she asked:
IF the man wanted the balloon to go
up higher and the gas in the bag was
not enough to take it up, what would
he do?" A little youngster said, very
seriously: why, he would put a quar-
ter in the meter and get more gas

PROCEEDINGS OF ANNUAL MEETING COUNTY BOARD|
Continued from Page Three

The Finance Committee presented
their report as follows, and moved its
adoption:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Grant County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen: = Your committee on
Finance respectfully reports, that they
have carefully examined the books,
accounts, records, vouchers, checks,
stubs and receipts, in the respective
offices of the County Treasurer and
County Clerk for the fiscal year end
ing Oct. 31st, 1913 and find the bust
ness has been done in very salts
factory manner. The Treasurer eX-
receipts and expenditures, showing
amount of money on hand, which
amounts agree with balance sheet OF
Oct 31st 1918, which said balance sheet
is hereto attached and made a part of
this report. Also find reports of State
Secretary hereto attached showing
amount due the state, county clerk S
statement and reports of the several
committees of this session, showing
amount of claims allowed, and appro-
priations made, all of which are made
a part of this report. We recommend
that the balances in the following
merged into the general fund, to-wlt:
The Bounty fund, contingent fund
Fuel blanks and Station fund, Justice
Court and County Board fund balances.
We also recommend, that the en-
Urgency fund, the contingent fund, the
county fund and county property fund,
be discontinued. And all monies re-
naming in said funds be transferred
and merged into the general fund, and
hereafter paid from that fund.
On account of the County officers
salary fund, by error, being merged
into the general fund last year, that
fund is so depleted, that we recon-
mend that the County officers salary
be paid out of the general fund, for
November and December, 1913. We
carefully examined the Clerks report,
and find a balance of $46.61 in his
hands.
All of which is respectfully submit
