two vote, Thomas e. Huey, Lacey
Edmundson. and Jere Gwin, voting in

preparation will care for this deficit

Bowling, with little trouble, could
figure his expenses a head of time.
because it is mainly an expenditure
OF salaries. He compared his state
ment with such institutions as the
Hillman hospital, aims house and
Juvenile court. which he said are
managed in a way that a working
out of premediated expenditure is
made impossible. Mr. Copeland
further stated that the county was
unable to pay current expenses and
that the cooperation of every de-
partment was imperative. in order to
keep the county within set
income"
DR.. J. d. Bowling was complacent
yesterday regarding the action of the
county board OF revenue. voting an
additional Appropriation for health
work to finish out the year.

ed for" said DR.. Bowling, 1t is about
all / expected, and will enable us to
hold our present force intact and
add much needed assistant in the

day engagement Monday, had one of
the most unusual premiers in the
history of the theatre. Owing to the

measures had to be taken to prevent
the theft of the English score for

Consequently, the piece was
brought to New York only half COM

being given to the company just in
time to prepare for the opening night
at the old Fifth Avenue theatre,

violinist of the orchestra was caught
stealing his part, and any number
of note takers in the audience were

The authors were thus permitted
to file copyright here in the United

English requirements. special per-

the major general. 1t was finally

where 1t ran 463 nights.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars

the request was refused and several
English road companies were sent
through the states, where they reap
