from this fund, Superintendent Erwin
said.
This is the finest bill that has ever
been introduced in Congress to pro-
vide Federal aid for the schools of
the nation" Supt Erwin said For
the funds will be allotted on the basis
Of population only and will have no
strings tied to them, as far as the
administration Of the schools is con-
cerned The only provision that must
be met is that no state may share in
this fund if it reduces the amount of
state or local funds available below
the amount provided for the 1867
school year Each state which can
keep its school funds up to the 1886
81 level can hence get this Federal
inney and use it to supplement these
other funds as they may see fit--if
the bill is passed-and without any
Federal regulation"
The trouble is that this session OF
Congress seems to lie definitely op-
posed to any new appropriations and
to be heading towards decreased
spending instead of more spending
Supt Erwin, who has just returned
from Washington, said. So while the
bill has already been reported favor

possibility that automobile insurance
rates may be reduced, although last
year the insurance companies wanted
to increase rates on the loss showing
in 1885. 1t is regarded as significant
that this decrease of 14.7 per cent in
losses came about the first year that
the new drivers license law went in
to effect.
An even larger decrease was shown
in the liability insurance losses with
a drop of 20.38 per cent from 1885 to
1886, the figures show. The liability
loss ratio was 67.98 in 1885 and drop
ped to 1880 in 1886. There was also
a decrease Of 1912 per cent in the
collision insurance losses between
those two years, or from 9755 in 1885
to $3.50 in 1885, The only increase in
losses was in the property damage
classification, with an increase OF lao
per cent, or from 1882 in 1885 to $3.50
in 1896.
