Recent Meeting In Bath, England, Die
eusssd Finance.
An important conference Of the M.
tional housing and town planning
council Of Great Britain was recently
held in Bath. England. to consider the
practical administration Of the housing
and town,pianning act Of 1909 and was
attended by many representatives of
western counties. There was consider.
able discussion about the difficulties ex.
perienced in closing houses unfit for
human habitation when there were no
houses at all, o. none at reasonable
rates, for the d%ishoused persons to go
into. The views expressed were to the
effect that while the work Of closing
unfit houses and Of supplying suitable
ones should be in the hands Of the local
authorities the state should cooperate
In enabling such undertakings to be
properly financed. A resolution present
ed by Henry r. Aldridge. secretary Of
the council, was as follows:
THAT this conference desires to ex-
press AS Oplu4Ou tudL every G4UEt
should be made to induce and help
local authorities to undertake the sup
ply Of houses for the poorest and for
those dispossessed by the closing of.un-
healthy houses. AS a mean to this end
the conference is Of opinion that non
ey should be lent to local authorities
for approved housing schemes at a rate
Of interest and for a period which will
enable houses to be provided at rents
which such persons al afford to pay.
Further, this conference is Of opinion
that. given this financial aid, local au-
thorities should accept the placing upon
them of such constructive housing &C.
ton as a statutory duty and be willing
to bear the whole or part of the sink
ing fund charges of housing loans"
This resolution was amended by add
Ing an expression Of opinion that the
of the housing acts should
continue to be carried out by the local
authorities and was then adopted.

AS there has been considerable dis
cussion in Knox county with reference
to the proposed school bill providing
county supervision throughout the state
1 have gathered some figures with
reference to conditions and the appli
cation of this proposed law in Knox
county. -
outside Of the city district Of Mt
Vernon, there are 172 teachers. AL.
lowing 40 teachers to each district and
village superintendent, it will require
four districts or village superintend-
ents at a salary Of $1,000 each per an.
mum, and a county superintendent at
$1750, making total cost for super
vision of $555O The state will pay
one-half of the supervision, leaving a
net cost of s3275 for supervision to the
county of all of its schools.
The school funds of Knox county
total $S7,930.54. The local school
treasurers receive from one to three
per cent for the handling of this fund,
or total Of $175S.1S. About one-third
of this money Is in the hands Of the
treasurers at all times. AS 1t Is di.
vided into small lots, the districts re-
ceive no interest from it, but in the
proposed bill all the school money
will be handled by the county treasur'
er, tAhd collectively 1t will reveive an
average Of Q per cent interest for the
onelthird'reihairing in the treasury, or
appfoximateiy s5S6.O0,
Then again there are four teachers
exaitiinations, costing $220.4O per an
nund, which will be eliminated; two
Bowel examinations costing $34S.55,
making q total of $56s. .95 saved on ex.
amifatiofs. sSt'sS vs. ~
The cost tisof present supervision is
$1,000; making a total of these figures,
we Have saving Of $3s12.76 and an
outlay of $3275, making net saving
to the county of $637.76 under the
proposed plan Of supervision.
In addition to this, the state will
contribute approximately $1,000 per
annum to the schools in each county
for the training of teachers, and from
$25.OO to $4,000 for agricultural equip
ment to each school building that is up
to the standard; also state aid to weak
districts and interest on moneys re-
ceived at the sale of school bonds.
And as a final each school is super
vised aud each pupil gets natural
promotion to a high school.
Yours truly,
JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
