Intersection sewer bonds to the amount of $12,000 have been called for payment, the cash being in the treasury, but they have not yet been presented. The net indebtedness of the city on April 1, 1902, was $199,254.45, as against $216,- 946.78 on April 1, 1901, a decrease of $17,- 692.33. The cash balances on April 1, 1902, were: Cash in Treasury.

Governor Cummins and State Superin- tendent R. C. Barrett, ex-officlo members of the Board of Regents of the State uni- versity, have returned from Iowa City, where they attended the meeting yesterday. Buperintendent Barrett was much elated with the plans revealed at the meeting as to tho future of the university in the way of securing a campus adapted to the growth of the school. Briefly stated, this consists of securing all the grounds between the main buildings and the river, damming the latter and parking both sides. The main bullding of the university Is about eighty rods from the river and the regents already have holdings of several lots between those points. There is an in- cline of about seventy-five feet between the bufldings and the river and it is planned to terrace this with a broad boulevard ex- tending through. This ground now is well buflt up, but the buildings are not of a substantial character and it is belleved can be had at reasonable rates. The board yes- terday took action by Instructing the ex- ecutive committee to get options on the premiees. It has developed that it was the reveal- ing of these plans that caused the death of the rumors at the last session of the leg lslature that the university would eventu- ally be forced to move beyond the corpor- ate limits of the city for the location of all buildings erected In: the future. The plan as now stated s regarded as Iideal by all who have seen the plat prepared. So far as the new medical bulldings are concerned it is practically decided that these will be built in the rear of the main bufldings on the block and one-halt donated by the city and on which the hospital bulldings are now situated. It Is consid- ered desirable that the medical buildings and the hospitale be In proximity to each other. Instead of one large bullding the indications are that three will be erected, the total cost being about $125,000. Plans will be made by the bullding committee ac- cordingly. The chemical and dlsecting de- partments will be in one and the other de- partments distributed between the other two. This 1s in accordance with the modern idea of what & college of medicine should be. The committee in charge consists of Judge W. I. Babb of Mount Pleasant, P. K, Holbrook of Onawa and Alonzo Abernathy of Osage. Visit State Institutions. Chairman Cownie and Judge Kinme, the other members of the State Board of Con- trol, visited all of the state institutions within the last fortnight. They devoted some time to the purchase of the new land suthorized by the state legislature at the last on. They were only able te make contracts at Davenport and Clarinda. At Glenwood and Mount Pleasant it was found that the owners of land mear the institu- tions had taken advantage of the time in- tervening between the public announc ment of the authority to purchase given the board by the legislature, with the r sult that_prices have been raised. The members Of the board state they will mot allow the state to be bled and that the own- ers will come to their prices or keep their land. Inasmuch &s it is not necessary for the land to be adjacent to the farm, it is belleved the state can get reasonable Drice Contracts were entered into for eighty acres of land at Davenport, making a total of 262 acres at that place. Land was also purchased at Clarinda. One hundred acres were bought at $75 and 206 and a fraction over at $9¢ an acre. This will make a farm at that institution of & fraction over 858 acres, as the farm originally consisted of G613 acre: The high standard of perfection of state schools for the deaf and dumb and the f ble minded attained under the Board of Control system is having & serious draw- back. Se great a reputatiom for proficiency bas been made that eastern schools are coming to Towa In search of teachers and offering greater salaries than the state au- thorizes the board to pay. Considerable difficulty has been had in holding many ot the best teachers, three having departed for the east in the last year. While the board was, at Council Bluffs President Gallandet of the Gallandet Col- lege for the Deaf at Washington, which is recognized as the foremost college of its kind In the country, was there. After in- vestigating the lowa school thoroughly Prof. Gallandet pronounced it one of the I best in the country. Organizing Veterinary Force. Hon. P. 0.

The result of the military examinatic at the state house of officers recently elected in the National Guard was made known teday, Following are those that pamsed: Battalion Adjutant T. C. Dalzell, Fiftieth infantry; Francls M. Cory, second leutenant Company M, Fifty-second infan- try; John H. Hanks, second lleutenant, Company C, Fifty-first regiment; Guy H. Baker, second lleutenant, Company H, Fifty-first regiment; Willlam H. Gilbride, captain Company F, Fifty-second regli- ment; D. W. Turner, major Fifty-first reg- iment. Articles were filed today with the sec- retary of state by the incorporated towns of Ryan and Masonville, both In Dela- ware county; also by the Midland Tele- phone company, Milford, capital, $25,000; Springville Bullding and Improvement com- pany Springville, capital, $50,000; Colfax Telephone company, Colfax, capital, $10,- 000; Linden & Adel Telephone company, Linden, capital, $6,000. Inquiry seems to show that there is no avalable tract for the location of the new postoffice that can be had for $125,000, the sum appropriated for that purpose. It ap- pears that the lowest figure yet secured for ground of close to 80,000 square feet was $150,000, and that was a conditional option. Other sites range from that amount up to $200,000. However, it {s said that the government will not stand back at even that amount It the location 1s deemed sat- isfactory to the Postoffice department.
