MONEY COMMITTEE

bienmum the amount at the disposal OF
the normal board was S722oOO. For the
ensuing two years the committee allows
$685., 500 for ell purposes. The reduction IS
effected entirely by cutting out new
buildings.
Tho third bill covering university cam
pus extension appropriates only $4,000
out of the E-miil levy to be used in tho
purchase of land. This is in accordance
with the guaranty given two years ago
by Lincoln business men that the cost to
the state for additional land to enlarge
the downtown campus would not exceed

is understood that Mr.. Taylor may make

and the experiment station at North
Platte.
Items in Detail.
Each Of the four state normal schools Is
allowed exactly the same amount for
salaries, maintenance and general ex-
pense az 1t had during the last two years.
The total under this head is 100000
divided as follows:
Peru. Sl65.OOO: Kearney. $1,000; Wayne,
$4,000; Chadron. $4,000.
in addition the committee provides for
improvements az the different schools as
herewith:
Peru. sis.5OO; Kearney, $500; Wayne,
$1,000: chadron, $500.
The Peru appropriation for improve
ments includes 5000 to remodel the old
training schools and 5000 for hiring and
other necessary improvements to mako
the building modern. At Wayne the COM
mittee allows $500 to remodel the old
auditorium; another $500 for enlarging
and repairing the heating plant; $3.50 for
tunnel work; 5000 for an electric light
ing plant, and 5000 to furnish and equip
the new building now under construction.
The 1900 at Chadron is for a brick CHM
ney on the heating plant and the 5000 at
Kearney for roof repair.
Enough New buildings.
During the past biennium $4,000 was
spent for new buildings at the normal
schools. The committee believes that
this has put them. on a basis sufficient
TO meet all their needs during the next
biennium so far as housing Is concerned.
II therefore allows nothing for new build
ings In 1915 and 1916.
As the normal school appropriation bill
is for specified amounts, the entire levy
of .s5 mills will not be used. The esti-
mated revenue from that levy is $4,000,
whereas the appropriations are limited to
$35.0Oo. The balance realized from the
levy will accumulate In the state treas
ury. However. the normals are given tAe
use Of their several cash funds which will
add some 10000 to their revenues.
While some differences OF opinion de-
veioped at the meetings Of the commit
tee. there will be no minority report.
Members OF the committee state that
virtually everything was agreed upon
without serious dlssension. IL Is under
stood that only one vote was cast agalntt
the proposal TO- abandon the experiment
stations at Valentine and Culbertson. II
Is understood though not positively that
Mr.. Bates was the member so voting.

general file without any recommendation

The first siege of Ostend. the beauti
full Belgian city. ended on Sept. ~.
1901 when the city WIS surrendered
TO the Spaniards. who had invested the
city for over three years. The honor.
able capitulation followed one of the
most heroic defenses in the history of
warfare On the death of Charles II.
Of Spain the French seized Ostend, but
in 1706. after Marlborough defeated
the French at Families. it was taken
by the allies. In 1745 it was retaken
by the French, but restored three
years later. In 1856 the French garri-
soned the town for the Empress Maria
Theresa. La 1892 Ostend again fell to
the French. who evacuated it in 1893,
regained it in 1894 and defeated the
English there in 1898 The city was
under the flag of Netherlands from
1914 to 1880. when Belgium regained
its independence. Modern Ostend is
known as La Refine DIES PLACES (the
Queen of Beaches), and for many Years
it has been the greatest seaside play

the people Of all nations. = Exchange.

POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON
starts to reduce expenses at the top,
hitting the salary of the man whose
sole duty is to keep ever on display
face of wisdom and body of inertia.
The top fellows are the overpaid and
least useful of the departments. The
rule is almost universal that fitness did
not enter into the question of their
appointment at all. because the aap-
pointing power knew that their duties
would be performed by help competent
to perform them, and that the only
thing to be considered was political
prestige. By reducing the number it
will require more work to perform their
duties, and by lowering salaries they
will prove less potent as human mag
nets. Burleson is practical reformer
so far as the public service goes. He
is a man after the heart of practic-
ability.
