the past year.
1t is expected that tax valuations
will likewise be close to the totals
for 1888, though corporate excess and
corporation values have not yet been
received from the State Tax Com
mission.
If the budget remains virtually the
same and the assessed value of pro
perty adds to about what it was last
year, there will likely be little diff
ference in the tax rate, which for the
past year has been 80 cents on the
500 valuation.
While the tentative budget will be
offered to the board Monday, it will
not be adopted at that time. Adop-
ton will come several weeks later,
though most of the changes cOntem-
plated at the present time will like
ly be discussed and may be tenn
porarily agreed upon Monday.

Teacherage
Building Is
Of

While definite decision has not
yet been reached as to the building
of new teacherage or the purchase
of some residence already in use al
a convenient place in the city, the
old teacherage building on Church
street, wrecked by flames last spring
has been sold by the trustees of the
city school board, Superintendent E
M. Rollins stated today.
Rough sketches are being prepar-
ed now to determine the approximate
costs of new teacherage to be erect
ed on the site of the old one, and
these will be used for comparison
with the costs of available buildings
that can be bought When compare
tive figures are in hand, the special
committee handling the matter will
make a recommendation for pro-
cedure
The damaged building on Church
street has been sold to P. E. Win
stead for $25 on condition that he
tear down the remains and move it
away. The demolition of the struc-
ture is now in progress.
The old site will be cleared for
use for new teacherage in the event
it is decided to build. If a new struc-
ture is determined upon, it probably
would not be ready for use by teach
erS before the first of the year, and
they would have to find quarters in
private homes or elsewhere until
that time.
