State Aid To Public
Schools
Only Four Counties Able To
Finance Programs With.
out Assistance

The increase in wages for school
teachers, authorized in the budget
adopted last week, means that five
additional counties will receive aid
from the State in keeping up their
school systems.
The i've new counties which will
be paid out of the States equalization
fund are Frederick, Howard, Prince
Georges Talbot and Washington.
Formerly fourteen counties received
State aid. The increase in the num-
Der means that now only tour-Bal-
timore, Montgomery, Hartford and
Cecil-wlll not receive help IN their
school tinonclng.
The equalization fund is the States
means OF providing adequate school
facilities for every county, regardless
of whether the county can raise
enough on its own taxable value to
support the system.
Briefly, under the system the State
insists that each county levy at least
Al cents per 500 tor schools, and
that these schools be malnlalned at a
certain level OF efficiency. Ii the in
come from the school tax and normal
State sources is not sumclent to pay
the cost OF the county's system, the
State agrees to make up the differ
ence.
The 1888 cut in teachers salaries,
by reducing the cost OF maintaining
the county systems, removed a num-
Der OF counties from the list OF those
receiving AID from the equalization
iund. The increase, consequently,
auus to the list.
Teachers salaries were cut from
ten to fifteen percent in 1888, but
about one-quarter OF the reduction
mas been restored.
However, no provision was made
IN the budget for giving them the
normal raises they would have re-
celved for additional years or exper-
fence. In other words, teachers sal
arles now will be only what they
would have been in 1898. Ii the cut
,ead not been put In then, they would
nave received several raises since
hat year. BY this much, the teach
ems still suffer from the depression
which made the cuts necessary.

He went up the river to fish his nets,
and after doing so pushed his boat
out along the river bank. The sup

floated away. It was caught at
Havre de Grace by William Caponie
about ten o'clock Tuesday morning,
and a search started for the missing
owner.
The searchers finally located Nor
rison's clothes and boots, where he
had short while previously pulled
his boat up on the bank.
Tracks in the mud led to the river,
where he went into the water to
swim out to the boat, as it drifted
away, but no further trace Of the
missing man could be found. The
river was grappled with hooks by
searchers, and airplanes from the
Aberdeen Proving Ground sent out
to look for the body.
With the river slowly rising at the
time it is thought the body has been
carried out in the bay.

Budget Finally Passes
State Legislature
Appropriation Measure Car
ries $40, 500, OOO---Had
Rough Shedding

Marylands biennial budget OF
more than S70,500,000 ended it's
stormy ride through the Legislature
a few minutes before 6 o'clock Satur-
day night.
The bill, however, received four
more than the necessary majority OF
fifteen for enactment.
The House group made use of its
sole perogative to raise budget item
as submitted by the Executive and
increased the appropriation for the
1889 Legislature from S201,204 to
S2O4,O64, adding secretaries and
other employees to the pay roll.
There was considerable discussion
in the Finance Committee before the
bill was brought to the floor on the
action of the House in adding nine
men to the State police force. This
called for an addition to that depart
ments priation of $4,000 for
their salary and equipment.
Another appropriation made by the
House over the wishes of the Senate,
but acceded to by the upper branch,
was $4,000 annually for the opera
tors CT ferry from Baltimore to Toll
chester. No ferry now is in opera
ton, but the legislators were inform
ed the Colchester service.
discontinued last year, is to be re-
sumed.
The House added to the State
Roads Commission budget an appro-
priation of $4,000 for 1888 and
another of $4,000 for 1889 to re-
ward 'meritorious" service of salar-
led employees of the department with
pay raises during the coming bien-
MUM.
Immediately after the budget was
enacted Senator j. Allan Coad (Dem.,
St. Mary's), chairman of the Finance
Committee. returned a favorable re-
port on a bill extending the one per
cent automobile titling tax for a per-
iod of two years from April 1.
Proceeds from this tax were part OF
the S3,600;000 annual reyenue%fron
the special relief taxes enacted last
March. The bill passed that night
continues it as a relief-fund source.

Road Equipment Need Is
Emphasized
DIR. Tabler Says Maintenance Cannot
Be Continued Without
Funds

Governor Nice was informed on
Wednesday by DR.. Homer E. Tabler,
chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, that the commission may be
unable to continue maintaining coun-
ty roads unless funds for new equip
ment are furnished.
His warning was in reference to a
S1,00O,000 item for new equipment
in the Governors budget for the
Roads Commission.
1--WE can't maintain the roads I'M
less we are given the money with
which to do it," DR.. Tabler said later
in commenting on his action. "If
there's no money for equipment,
maintenance will just have to stop. "
In his letter to the Governor he
said that much of the road equip
ment taken over from the counties in
1888 is now completely worn out.
Other equipment, still in use. is cost
ing more for repairs than it is worth.
He cited as an example road roll
Ter, worth only $4,000 new, which has
cost $1,7OO in repairs in the last two
years and now needs new repairs
costing $500 more. Another expen-
sive procedure, DR.. Tabler said, is the
hiring of trucks for county roads,
when new equipment could be used
much more economically.
