SOLDIERS HOME
WITHOUT DEFICIT
Finances of Kearny Institution
Now in Excellent Shape, Ac-
cording to Annual Report.
Special to the Evening star.


TRENTON, Dec. 19.-For the first
time in many years the board of man
ayers of the Home for Disab ed Sol
diers. at Kearny, will not be forced to
go to the Legislature for an appeal
for funds to make up a deficit this
year. According to the report of the
new superintendent, James F. Con-
molly, former city clerk of Newark,
the finances of the home are now in
excellent shape.
The most rigid economy on the part
of the management was necessary
this year to wipe out a deficit of 50 13s.
AT the close of the last fiscal year the
finances were in such condition that
the Legislature was appealed to for
more funds. An APPROPRIATION +
$4,000 was allowed in the supplemental
, bill toward making up the dehcir, but
the balance was left to the board to
make up by economy.
The advent of Mr.. Connolly, as su-
perintendent, has brought many inn
Drovements to the institution. Every
building used by the inmates has been
painted, q modern refrigerator has
been constructed, the grounds have
been beautified and Improved and a
contract has been entered into for the
building of a bulkhead on the river
front that will add 575 feet of dock
front and nearly three acres of land
to the States building. When COM
pleted, the park will be testimonial
20 the State from those who have par
taken of its hospitality, according to
the report of Mr.. Connolly.
recommendations are made for the
abandonment of the present chapel
and library, located in the upper story
of the dining room building, as totally
unfit and inaccessible, and the estap-
lishment of ward mess halls. The re-
port further asks an appropriation of
$4,000 from the next Legislature for
carrying out necessary repairs, and
$1,000, instead of $55 900, for the sup
port of the home during the coming
year. The management believes, as
the result of a study of conditions,
that the increasing infrmities of the
members, whose ages average sew
enty-seven, and the advancing price
Of necessary commodities will make
the larger sum essential.
The cost of maintenance per capita
was $22420. At the close of the fiscal
year there were 527 inmates, against
525 at the close of last year. The
number admitted during the year was
III, the number of deaths 76, and the
losses from all other causes SO. The
, average age of the rs members who
died was seventy-six years. The to-
tai number of beneiciaries of the
home since it was established reaches
the aggregate of 22,345.

TWO NEW BRIDGES PLANNED
Lincoln County to Build Structures
Across the Siletz.

Mr.. w. V. Fuller, who returned
from visit to that locality the first
of the week, informs The Observer
that suspension bridge with a span
of over 260 feet is being constructed
over the Sietz river in section 80.
township 9 south. range 8 west. in
Lincoln county. This bridge is be-
ing built on a cooperative plan, the
county furnishing the steel cable and
some other material while the ranch
ers in the vicinity of the "upper
Farm are furnishing the lumber and
labor The entire cost to the county
will be about 5000.
The bridge will be somewhat
unique, and its construction is under
the direction of a man from the Cor
wallis college.
County Engineer B. F. Beezley is
drawing plans for a wooden bridge
to be constructed across the Siletz,
near the mouth of Rock Creek in sec
ton 4, township 10 south, range 8
west, in Lincoln county. This is on
the Dallas-Newport road. The bridge
will have a span of 100 feet and will
be entirely of wood. There is a
small sawmill in that vicinity and
with the exception of the stringers,
lumber for the bridge will be furnish
ed by this mill at $40 per thousand.
This mill is owned by Mr.. Reddant,
and the foreman of the mill is VIM.
Southwell, formerly of the old Bryan
Lucas Mill above Falls City. The
proposed bridge will be rushed to
completion as fast as possible as it
is the wish of County Judge Fo-
garty to have it ready for summer
travel by July l.

"Flyless Dallas Committee Issues
Letter to All Housewives.

The committee of ladies which Is
assisting the Commercial club i'll its
fly-elimination campaign has issued
300 letter circulars to the house
wives of Dallas asking their co-opera-
ton in this laudable undertaking.
The committee is composed Of Mes
danes Stafrin, Robinson, Ford, Cri-
der and Miss Viers, and the letter is
as follows:
Dear Madam: You have probably
read in the papers of the fly campaign
that is being carried on in many
cities this season. The members of a
committee representing the Woman s
club and the Commercial club desire
to interest you in a like campaign
in our city.
Authorities on this subject claim
that by means of traps and other
devices it is possible to destroy the
flies before they reach the houses at
all. The local hardware dealers each
have supply Of fly traps which may
be secured for small sum.
If you feel that you do not need
one of these traps around your home
will you please try to interest some
neighbor i'll the cause. The commit
tee will appreciate any aid you may
give them in trying to have Il ely
less Dallas this summer.
