amounted to date to approximately
$1,000, it was announced today by
City Clerk S. B. Burwell Most of the
amount, or 81 1852 90 was paid on
July 1, the last day on which the max
imum discount of three percent was
available. During July the discount is
2 IL percent.
Prior to July 1 the advance pay

then have run the amount to above
the 1000 mark, it is understood.

will not be under that figure, which
is a rise of 25 cents above last years
$1.25. City fiscal authorities are hop
ing to hold the rate down to $3.50.
The tax rate will not be fixed until

DON'T PUT PENNIES
BEHIND BAD FUSES

Erie Chief E. T. Shepherd sounded
a warning today to all residents that
they must refrain from putting cop
per pennies behind blown fuses in
their light circuits, stating that the
practice is fire hazard of the worse
sort as we'll as violation of the State
law.
He recommended the use of Is
amp. fuses for household circuits, and
that each residence have a supply of
spare fuses in case one is blown.
The chief pointed out that several
calls recently to the fire station were
the result of such practices short
circuit causing the fuse to blow, and
closing the circuit with pennies with
out finding the wire trouble causes
the wires to 'turn, and in this man
ner may cause a disastrous fire.

DROUTRS NOT
SEEN FOR U. S.
But Weather Men Lay no
Bets Year Will Be
Without Any

WASHINGTON, April 20. -
(UP).-Weather Bureau officials
last night scanned their charts
and graphs anh then announced
unofficially that they don't eN-
pect another drouth on the great
plains this year. :.
They won't back their predlc-
ton with a bet, however. They
remember the record of three ma
jor drouths in the past six years
which brought parched fields and
baked plants instead of bumper
harvests. They believe that the
dry cycle should now be ending
but they can't guarantee it.
Rains and SHOWS that fell in the
past three months from the Da-
kotas to Texas have brought bet
ter moisture conditions in the soil
than existed in the spring OF
either 1884 or 1886, both disaStr-
Gus drouth years on the prarleS.
Normal rains during the growing
season would insure good crops,
Rain fall during the next few
months will determine how much
will be harvested.
If rains are arratic during the
next four months, crops in North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Nebras-
ka and Texas would be the first
victims. The average prccipita-
ton during the past six months IN
these states is near the danger
point of so per cent of normal.
Experiments have shown that
when rains fall considerably be-
low this margin, crops usually
fail.
Drouth conditions which dras-
tically reduced the income OF
farmers of the prairie states last
summer extended through the
fall and early winter up to Janu-
airy /, weather bureau records
show.
Rain and snow falling in Ne
braska, for instance, during the
last three months of 1886 was less
than half Of normal. However.
Nebraska received l0S per cent Of
normal precipitation during the
first three months of this year
and thus enters the growing sea-
son only slightly below the danger
line of so per cent of normal
water supply.
Joseph b. Kincer, chief of the
bureaus climate and crop
division, believes that the
general trend of low precipitation
hit bottom during the summer and
fall of 1886 and that the late win
ter SHOWS and spring rains this
year herald a new day for prairie
farmers. kinccr has studied the
