The ComptroIler's Report.

81 T.
We have received the Annual Report
of Emerson c. Harrington, Comptroller
Of the Treasury of Maryland. The re-
port reviews the States finances and con-
tains much of interest to the taxpayer.
Among other things revealed is the
fact that the State faces million dollar
deficit, due to the extravagant appropria-
tons made by the last Legislature, re-
CARELESS Of the fact that the States in
come could not provide for them.
The Comptroller also tells Of the anti
quated financial methods and urges q
new system. He says:
In my Judgment, the time has now
State where different mode or system
ought TO be inaugurated in dealing with
appropriations. The present method is
antiquated and unbusiness like aud woe
fully lacking in any system whatever,
and to this cause, more than any other,
do attribute our presentembarrassment.
Our appropriation bills and omnibus bills
THAT is, The bills emboiying a large
number of appropriations are generally
passed about the last days of the session
when the Finance Committees are over
burdened with work and have not snf-
ficent time properly to estimate the total
amount of all the appropriations; for do
not believe that the Legislature. with
their eyes fully opened to the subject,
would deliberately make appropriations
for the two fiscal years intervening from
the meeting of one Legislature to an
other, so largely in excess of the revenues
of the State applicable to the pay nent of
such appropriations.
IT am equally of the opinion that all
special acts carrying appropriations
should he absolutely repealed. their fut-
ure appropriations by the State should be
covered in two bills, one for each of the
fiscal years; and, further. that constitu-
tional amendment should be passed to
this end. If this we're adopted, every
General Assembly should be advised Of
the demands upon the Treasury; but more
especially, in comparison with the ordi-
nary receipts of the Treasury, would they
be in possession of the knowledge of the
amount Of those demands which pru.
dence would dictate could be safely
given. In other words, the General AS
sembly, having before it the revenue OF
the State, could always keep its appro-
priations within those limitations.
SIN speaking as I.have of the finances
of our State. I do not wish to be under
stood as rejecting upon the integrity Of
the finances or credit Of the st lie. The
sale Of our bonds at the prices received
for them shows conclusively the conf
dence of the public In our financial con-
dision and credit; but regardless of our
credit and financial standing, the fact
nevertheless remains that owing to the
extraordinary appropriations. the Treas
nry officials must necessarily be very
much embarrassed in meeting all the
fiscal obligations of the State as they
arise,

YOUTH DISCHARGED
 OF BICYCLE THEFT
Joseph Grabowski Told the Judge He Took 1t Back Because He
 Wasn't Paid.

Young Joseph Grabowski, who was arrested on complaint of his brother yesterday charged with stealing s16 from him and subsequently charged with stealing a bicycle Sunday night, was discharged by Judge John IT, Kirkham of the latter charge in cham bers this morning. As the theft of the money took place in Newington where the family lives, the local court had no jurisdiction. In case the brother wishes to press the charge against the youngster he will have to complain to the Newington authori- ties, but as Mrs. Ora bowski prom ised to look after the boy it is not likely that there will be any further trouble.
 In explaining the theft of the bicycle the accused said that he had "replev- ined' the wheel on his own account He explained at length how he had sold the bicycle to another boy, but the latter had failed to keep up his payments as per agreement As a result, Sunday night Grabowski sneaked into the boys cellar and took away his bicycle.
 The judge discharged him on the theft count. a..

N~AS AS1AAONAh QI IiIC Hyut1lft dJ tHG corner of Commercial and Center streets was considered. The peti- tioner stated that the location of the hydrant prevented him from loading and unloading conveniently wagons in front of his place of business. It was voted to make an investigation of the conditions.
 It was decided to attend to the grading of Park street extension at once, following which the city engi- neer brought up the matter of whether or not State street should be accepted. MT. Moore moved that the board ask the council for authority to give the property owners hearing On the matter of constructing a sewer in the street so that all the exact circumstances might be known.
 Some of the commissioners thought that this might place the city under obligation to accept the street, so the motion, as passed, provided for the hearing in case the corporation coun- sel sanctioned the plan.
 There was 8 communication from Superintendent of Parks Wainwright, in which he asked for the appointment of a tree warden, who was to be under the SupSINicloIl ol l1S UOdTd OI commissioners. MT. Humphrey said that, in his opinion, the board could look after the citys trees all right MT. Hall said that on numerous oc- casons MT. Wainwright has attend ed to damaged trees about the city at his request. He charged nothing for his services.
 Would Extend Sewer.
 Commissioner Downs explained that on Cemetery lane the sewer goes ten feet onto the Burns property, which has a sixty-foot frontage. Neverthe- less, the owners have been assessed for the sewer for the full frontage. The owners are contemplating break ing the property up into two building lots, he said;- and they were desirous of having the sewer extended so that connections could be made from a house which will soon be erected on the second plot. The sentiment of the board was that, if the people who own the property are assessed for the entire sixty-foot frontage, they are entitled to have the sewer run the whole length of their land. The clerk was instructed to look into the mat ter, following which the meeting ad- journed.

 VIOLENTLY INSANE
Is Being Brought From Wortman's This Afternoon Under Strong
 Guard-Is We'll Known.

Frank s. Loman, Signal Corps op- orator at Thompson Pass, is being brought to Valdez this afternoon un der guard of five men, having gone violently insane yesterday morning. Loman is well-known in Valdez, hav- ing resided in this section for six or seven years. He was in the ser. vice, but when his term expired two years ago he went outside and only recently re-enlisted and was sent back to Alaska. When he arrived here about month ago he was giv- en the Thompson Pass station.
 The first indication of Loman's in- sanity manifested itself yesterday morning when he chased Private Nichols from the station with knife, threatening to kill him. Nichols went to Wortman's, where he met Private Eastman, of Beaver Dam, and Private Foster, of Wortman's station The three men returned to the Thompson Pass station and attempted to pacify Loman, but their efforts were futile, and he struggled with the men all night. He is reported to have wreck ed the telegraph station before be- ing overcome.
 Sergeant Jones and Private Riggs left for Thompson Pass last night and reached Worman's with Loman to. day. He is reported to have been seized with another insane fit while at Wortman's, which necessitated his being bound in order to protect his own and his gurads' safety.
 The unfortunate man will be taken to Fort Liscum. where his case will be investigated and if found insane will probably be sent outside for treatment.
