Authorization to pay of the city's floating debt of 1,i60, 900 was given City Controller Thomas M. Conlon at yesterday afternoons meeting of the Board of Finance. The Control Ter may pay off all or part as may be necessary.
 Heavy tax payments prior to and on May 1 Swelled the city's avail able cash on deposit in local banks beyond the legal limit and resulted in the Finance Board voting to have the loan which the city floated last December and which has until June 6 to run paid off.
 There will be no interest saving on the part of the city through an early payment as such loans are made with the proviso that advance payments will not result in dis- counting of the interest. The in- terest for the loan is $500.
 The city is allowed by charter to have on deposit in local banks $1,6l7, ,000. This is distributed among several Repositories and at many times has exceeded the legal limit, because the city could not don any, thing else with the funds. Of recent years the city has used excess funds to pay off floating loans in advance.
 The city's charter revision bill also would change that section which prevents the city from using Repositories out of the city and specifically lets the city deposit funds in New York or Boston banks when the legal limit that local banks can accept has been reached.
 TreasurerS Report
 The report Of City Treasurer Serge A. Belanger read ct yester- days meeting showed $1,353,02l on deposit in local banks and repre- sents an increase of $4l5, ,495.81 over the balance just @ year ago.

CONCERN
 SUSTA|NS LOSS
Office Records, Shipment of Beer Destroyed in
 Hartford Fire

Hartford, Conn, May 2 - (UP0 A ttree-alarm fire which des- troyed a large warehouse bordering the Park river in the city's business area last night, caused damage which fire officials said today would reach $100,000.
 Earlier estimates placed the ioss much higher. The warehouse was used as Q storage place by the Lar- gay Brewing Company, of Water bury, and by several express and furniture moving concerns. 1nsur- ance was said to cover most Of the loss.
 Firemen fought the flames for more than six hours before bringing them under control.
 The Largay Brewing Company of Waterbury announced this morning that their storage of beer in the old Hopkins Brewery Company of Hart ford was 6 complete loss but that whatever the damages were, could not be ascertained as all records were destroyed. The manager of the local concern said that they were unable to enter the building for checkup.
 The old brewery has served the company as central distributing warehouse for the Hartford terri- tory and also housed other con- cerns, which use 1t as warehouses. The local concern occupied the cen. tral portions of the three.story brick building where they stored half -barrels of beer.
 At times more than 200 of these barrels were placed 1n the wafe- house but as records were destroyed by fire, 1t was hard to make any estimate.

taxes would not produce sufficient
revenue to pay the cost of trans
porting their pupils. This is one
of the factors to be considered.
Over a period of years the valua-
ton has remained constant, it has
increased somewhat the past year
The present arrangement has been
satisfactory and permanent I'M
ion should be Of the same nature.
One advantage in the future is that
this joining OF outlying districts
might lead to the formation Of three
large districts tn the county, with
the town schools ut Eureka, Troy
and Libby as centers. Such a d.
vision already has been set up by
the county commissioners for the
three high schools. The movement
toward transporting children from
rural schools to larger centers is in
progress in every section of the
country. 1t has been slow in Lin
coin county on account of lack OF
adequate roads. With the compile
ton Of better roads, the idea will
spread. It is one piece of legislation
favored by the large taxpayer,

County Superintendent Jessie
Fagerberg is in receipt of petition
signed by the majority of the free
holders OF Swamp Creek School
Dist. No. % asking for union
with Libby Dist. No. 4 For the past
two years the Swamp Greek dis
trict has discontinued their school
and has transported their pupils to
the Libby schools. Under this ar
rangement Dist. No. 70 paid their
own transportation costs and an en-
rollment fee tor the pupils sent
from shst district The proposition
under confederation is for Dist No.
n to Join with, and become part
OF Dist. No. 4. Dist. No. 4 would
then include the Swamp Greek dis
trict territory, the joint district
would take charge OF transportation
and other costs, the taxes to be
spread according to the valuation.
The present valuation of No. % is
approximately $4,000 and their
income this year about $1,000. I'm
der such setup, assuming that the
valuation in Swamp Creek re-
manned about the same, Dist. No. "a
would be assessed approximately
the amount that 1t would cost tc
maintain the transportation of the
pupils involved.
The decision must be made BY
the vote of each district. In order
to call an election, it is necessary
to have majority of the resident
freeholding voters sign a petition
calling for such an election. Dist
No. "a has already performed thi!
requirement, in order to call thu
election the county superintendent
must be presented like petition
from the Libby district.
.Freeholders only, that is person
with assessable real estate property
would vote at such an election. Tht
pupils of Dist q are now in thu
Libby schools by two year agree
ment with No. as mentioned be
fore. II is the wish Of Swamp Creel
to make the arrangement perma
nent by joining No. 4. At pres
ent valuations, there would be lit
tie If any financial gain to eithe
district. IT Dist. No. 22's valuation
should be seriously decreased, thei
