Some while ago Herbert E. Law promised that if the directors of the nursery could raise $10,000 he would add to the amount $5000. | With such a promise in view and | with the desire to have a commodious | and appropriate place wherein to | house and train homeless little mites | of the city up to the standard of good citizenship the committee in charge of S the project, Including Mrs. M.

The are to be so arranged ! as to allow of complete light and perfect ventilation as human skill can obtain. The dormitories will receive special attention and will be commodious enough as to permit of ample space between each bed. This arrangement will apply to the boys’ as well as the | girls’ and babies’ sleeping apartments. | The day nurseries are to have every | accommodation for the comfort of the | little ones and each boy and girl is to | be the possessor of a separate closet wherein clothes must be neatly kept, the idea being to place upon the shoul- ders of each child a domestic respon- | sibility. There also will be playgrounds, one | rooms as for boys, one for girls and one for in- | fants, and here will the officers of the | institution take advantage to build up for their charges a healthy and vigor- ous physique. Among the recent donations toward the building are 46,000 bricks, the gift of Dr. J. W. Edwards, Dr. Hartland Law and L. A, Steiger. The women managers find that there is a small sum over $25,000 lacking to make up the $40,000 which is required to complete the institu- tion’s new quarters, but under no cir- cumstances will they be deterred from going ahead with their laudable proj- ect, even though the full sum needed should not be at hand immediately. and Hot Plates. $9.50 ICE BOX e $5.90 Here is the biggest cut ever made in any ref{igerator line.

T After the high chief ranger had ap- pointed the standing committees he presented his address to the high body which covers the work of the order for two years past. In this he states that during the early part of the term the State of Colorado was taken from the Pacific jurisdiction and transferred the Atlantic jurisdiction, yet, not- withstanding the loss of seventeen courts, the order initiated, during the two years, almost as many as were drawn away and made a gain in finance of $12,535, the greatest ever made in a single term. Since the last session of the high body twentysfive new courts were instituted and the membership now is 8791. He recommends a change of the ritual, the fixing of the per capita tax at $1, the codifying of the laws of the order and the enlargement of the social feature of the organiza- tion. The report of Permanent Secretary. Falconer, which gives the condition of the order in detail, that of High Treas- urer Lunt and other hign officers were presented and referred. Greetings from the High Court were ordered sent to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in session. The hours of the session were fixed at from 10 to 12 in the forenoon and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. The report of the committee on laws took up nearly all the afternoon ses- sion. The important changes adopted were that hereafter no picnics or en- tertainments in the name of the order shall be given on Decoration day; mak- ing the election of high officers secret, instead of open ballot, and making the office of permanent secretary an elec- tive one. An amendment having for its object the prevention of 'a retiring or retired high chief ranger again seeking nom- ination for that office was voted down. The High Court will meet again this morning. The election for officers will | be held to-morrow. To-night the high officers and the delegates will, for the first time, wit- ness the exemplification of *“Through the Woods,” a new side degree sanc- tioned by the tenth executive council, which will be introduced in all courts.

One copy ; BOARD REQUESTS APPROPRIATION Committee of Supervisors Hears Report of Depart- ment of Public Schools NEEDS MORE TEACHER Say Money Is Necessary to Extend List of Salaries With Larger Attendance) The business of framing the ity | budget was begun yesterday afternoon, | when the Finance Committee of the | Board of Supervisors, with H. U.| Brandenstein in the chair, met the Board of Education. | Though several hours were taken up by the investigation of the figures, ‘ the work was not completed, and the committees will meet again at 2 o’clock | this afternoon. Charles Berliner, financial expert for the Board of Education, proposed that SPECIAL VALVES THIS WEEK IN FOUR DEPARTMENTS. Full assortment of “Fancy Tweeds” and “Scotch Chev- fots,” in mixed effects, small checks and novelty $4%.50 Dress Pattern. Good valpe for $6.00 cheyron weaves. A new shipment of 44-Inch “Chiffon Samile.” These we now have in 16 of the newest shades; also White and Cream. $1.25 Yard. Regular value $1.75 Black Figured “Mohair Crispine,” full 44 inches wide. These come in a good variety of styles and are the new black material for shirt waist sults. an appropriation of $1,100,000 be turn- ed over to the board, which is an in- | crease of $441,000 over last year’s ap- | propriation. Berliner maintains that | the increase of attendance of city | schools is 1000 per annum, and that the | present attendance is 38,000 children. | There are 1116 teachers on the pay-! roll, 17 of whom are specials, 78 prin-l, cipals and the remaining 921 are reg- | ular teachers. ‘ SALARIES TOO LOW. The salaries paid grammar school | teachers in the past have been $50 for | the beginning, with a gradual increase to $83, the maximum figure. i Roncovieri held that $50 is too small | a salary, as an applicant for the posi- | tion of schoolteacher must have grad- uated from either a State university or normal school, and that she must have spent at least ten or twelve years in her education. For that reason, Roncovieri says, the returns for the money she’ expended are insufficient, and he made a motion that the mini- | mum salary be raised from $50 to $60. Roncovieri said: “Fifty dollars is| hardly a typewriter's pay, and, as we expect our teachers to keep up a good appearance, we should not hesitate at the expenditure of the $10 difference.” | It was next shown by the Board ol Education representatives that, as the attendance is increasing, so the num- | ber of teachers must be increased. | Classes should average 41 pupils to the teacher, and this would increase the payroll $48,000 for regular teachers and $23,000 for teachers who receive from $50 to $60 salary. The report made by the Board of Education shows that it has $,033,- 200 now on hand, while the difference of $966,800 is needed for salaries alone. PORTABLE SCHOOLHOUSES. The subject of introducing portable schoolhouses was introduced by Alfred Roncovieri, who statéd that, as the houses cost but $550 each, considerable money could be saved that is now be- ing expended in the renting of rooms in different parts of town. The meeting was adjourned without the Supervisors having taken any defi- nite action, and will be continued to- day at 2 o'clock. Maurice Reardon appeared before the committee of Supervisors to ex- plain his reason for charging 90 cents each for repairing picks that were originally purchased for 65 cents. Rear- don said that he charged private par- ties $1 for the work, and that a pick | was no good until it had been “steeled.” President Schmitz of the Board of Public Works stated that he had in- vestigated, and that wholesale dealers had all confirmed Reardon's state- ment. The question will be reported to a committee next Monday morning. Coroner Leland asked for $21,820 for salaries and $4145 for expenses. He wants provision made for an extra deputy and an extra messenger to re- lieve the two messengers now employ- ed from working twelve hours a day. An assistant autopsy surgeon was also desjred to assist Dr. Bacigalupi. This matter also was taken under advisement. ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Bureau of Engineering, Depart- | ment of Public Works, vesterday com~‘ pleted its estimate of cost of the pro-| posed municipal street cleaning system, | which has been under consideration by | the Board of Supervisors for some time. | Commissioner Woodward, who is in| charge of the Bureau of Engineering, | will transmit his report to the Board | of Public Works to-day. | It is calcu- | lated in the report that the equipment | of the proposed plant would cost $90,000, | which would purchase all the neces- | sary apparatus for sweeping the streets | as they are being swept under the pres- | ent specifications. The cost of maintenance of the sys- tem is figured at $242,000 yearly. The amount set aside during the pres- ent fiscal year for street cleaning was $215,000, so it would appear that it will | cost something like $27,000 more than the contract cost. As the cost of equip- ment is $90,000 more, it is hardly prob- able that the Supervisors’ Finance Committee will recommend that the city undertake to do its own street sweeping. Another improvement projected by the Board of Public Works is the re- paving of the streets surrounding the City Hall, the cost of which is esti- mated at $30,250 by the Bureau of En- gineering. Continuing its crusade against con- cerns that obstruct sidewalks in the manufacturing districts, the Board of Public Works removed to the corpora- tion yard twenty-five pieces of timber from in front of the Union Iron Works, at 220 Fremont street; one boiler and | seven pieces of machinery belonging to the Jardine Machine Works from 220 | Fremont street, and one boiler and three .pieces of machinery from Fre-| mont and Howard streets, in front of | the premises of McIntosh & Wolpman. —_—ee—— The Clean W She looked so clean—so absolutely spotless—that we knew she had made the journey on the Santa Fe. “The oiled track and oil-burning en- gines make no dust, smoke or cinders,™ she explained; “the Santa Fe is the Clean Way: I always travel Santa Fe.” Everybody should know about Santa Fe cheap rates to.the St. Louis World's Fair.
