a basis, the rent which the board
should receive was to be determined.
This rent was to be used to pay sal
aries an dprovide supplies.
The last appraisers, Bertram Wins
ton, big business lawyer; Jesse Hol-
dom, fought by union labor as un-
fair to their cause, and Simon
Strauss, millionaire bond broker, did
what no other appraisers have had Z
the nerve to do.
They were supposed to set the val
ue of the school block which extends
from Madison to Monroe and from
State to Dearborn, in accordance
with the values of land nearby.
How well they didn't do this is
shown by the results of their apprais-
al. Lot 8, block No. A." rented by
Jake Kessner, on State near Madison,
was appraised at $4,000 in 1905.
In 1915, while land about scared in
value, these three gentlemen set the =
value at $322,560. Kesner will pay
CORRESPONDENCE less for the upkeep
of schools. The children will suffer.
The Chicago Real Estate board, a
corporation TOOL, set the Value OF the
same land at $4O3, 200, but Jake Kes-
ner is paying rent on 1922, $50 valu-
alton.
Around the corner the McVicker
Theater Co. is paying $4,000 year
more to run their show on land that
was originally leased from the boaru.
but that has been sublet at vastly
greater prices.
If the boar dof education set its
stamp of approval on this deal it
would be hard to beat in court. If
the board on, the other hand, re-
fused to 90. K" the appraisal, law
suit would follow with fair chances Of
success.
But rather than declare themselves :
for or against big business the
members of the board, according to

SCHOOL BOARD STALLS ON AN
IMPORTANT MATTER

The board of education registered
another bad mark IN the school rec
ords today. A board meeting at which
it was planned to throw a slam into
State street for the queer" apprais-
ais on lands held by influential State
street merchants was scheduled to be
called off. Not enough members
would see fit to be in town when the
school lease matter came up for a
vote
Angus Shannon, attorney for the
board, recommended some time ago
that the valuation placed on school
lands which determined the amount
of rent to be paid should not be given
the approval of the board and suit
should be filed to overthrow the fig
ures presented. The matter was
scheduled to came to a head today
at a special meeting. This has been
called off, according to Sec'y Larson.

 This picture has not been seen, ex- cept in the larger cities throughout the country, where it was introduced as a vaudeville head-liner in such theatres as the Palace theatre in New York, and the Keith houses in Phtla- delphia, Baltimore and elsewhere.
 By special arrangement with Will jam Morris, Lauder's American man ager, this remarkable film feature has been released for use in the smaller cities, and Norwich theatre goers will have a special opportunity to see at the Auditorium tomorrow, the very highest development of the singing and talking pictures.
 Several inventions have been made in attempts to synchronize the phono- graph and the motion picture film, but the mechanism used with the Harry Lauder pictures, has proven success fuI because of its simplicity and so accurately synchronizes the voice on the record with the facial expression

Misused Commas,

The misuse of commas, a glaring in stance of which has been discovered by Sir Oliver Lodge in the English text of The Hague declaration, once cost the United States Government a considerable sum. The tariff bill of 1892, as drafted in Congress, enumer- ated in one section the articles to be admitted on the free list Amongst these were 'au foreign fruit plants" !" The copying clerk omitted the hypen and inserted a comma, so that the clause read "aII foreign fruit, plants, etc. etc., The mistake was not not iced until the bill had become law, and could not be rectihed for about a year. During this time all oranges, lemons, bananas, grapes and other foreign fruits were admitted free of duty, with a loss to the revenue of at least
