irgs being made up contemplate meet
August with numerous hearings in
various parts of the State. On Mon
day the first of the weekly conferences

D. B. Ainey and the heads of the

cure more rapid action on complaints.
May Get More Schools - Arrange
ments are being made by the State
Board of Education to pay off debt
of some of the State normal schools
made and it is likely that negotiations
looking to the acquisition of control
of several schools will be resumed at
an early date. The State has secured
four schools of the thirteen and has
been considering others.
To Ship Canvas-Shipment of can
vas for the encampments of the Ma
tional Guard will be started next week,

made by Commissioner Of Fisheries
y. r. Butler for additional buildings
at the State fish hatcheries at Pleas
ant Mount, Wayne county, and Belle
ments will also be made in the Erie
county hatcheries. The new build
ings at Pleasant Mount and Bellefonte
will enable the State to put out a
materially greater amount of young
trout and bass. 1t is also the plan to
improve the plant at Torresdale to
handle more shad.

pected that the new forms for max
ing report of production of anthra-
cite coal can be sent to the producers
within the next week as orders have
been given by the Auditor Generals

reports have been prepared after a
number of suggestions and after con-
sultation with Attorney General
Brown on certain features of the law
in regard to assessment.
Commission to Meet. - The State
Forestry Commissioners will meet here
tomorrow to discuss work under the
new appropriations. 1t is probable
that some steps to establish the new

be taken as the State can now make
arrangements with local associations
for patrol service and can call upon
- +
fighting fires.
State Goods to Front-Inspection
of fertilizers being sold throughout
the State are being made by agents
of the State Department of Agriculture

vania made fertilizers are coming to
the front again.
