8.." --— WHERE HE " jIjIBS IT COMPTROLLER* mVcARDY EXPLAINS BIS $200,000 ITEM IN THE SCHOOL ESTIMATE. IT'S A COMPOSITE ACCOUNT GATHERED ROTH FROM COTJINTY CfATHICHED IIOTII FROM COUNTY AND STATE REVENUES, NOT DIRECT TAXES. [y% SECRETARY ANGELL FIGURES the Same Proposition From the Standpoint of the School Board Very Differently. There has been a considerable differ- frnce of opinion between the members of j • the" school board and the city con- | troller as to the amount which the board i will have on hand this year for the pur- j poses of the schools. In Controller McCardy's estimate of j the funds available for school purposes ! for 1896 there appears, in addition to the amounts derived from the two-mill direct tax allowed the city board, the i balance now on hand and the state ap- i portionment, a fourth, item of $200,000, '• styled "tax receipts." This, the comp- ■ troller explained yesterday, is made up Of all moneys covered into the school fund which do not come under one of the three other heads, such as the mon eys derived from the sale of state school sections, the royalties on iron ore out- puts devoted by the state to schc\* pur- poses, the school share of back taxes, county and school revenues, and other , Bums which come into the school fund, but which do not properly come in the estimate of direct taxes or of the state's \ apportionment. 7,777 These miscellaneous receipts in 1893 were $223,000; in 1894, $195,000; so that the controller this year estimates the amount available for 1896 as at least 1200,000. Secretary Angell, of the school board, fig- j ures it thus: ; The income for schol purposes Is derived from the following sources: One mill county tax. Two or two and a half mills local city tax. State apportionment, which is determined on the- basis of a certain apportionment to each pupil in the state who has attended school for the period of forty days. The assessed valuation of property in the city of St. Paul is $123,000,000. On this basis the apparent normal amount which could come into the school fund from the special local levy is two mills: One mill county tax $123,000 One mill county tax $123,000 Two mills special tax 246.000 State apportionment 75,000 Total $444,000 Total $444,000 In August -of each year the school board Is required to make a financial statement to the state of its receipts and disbursements for the school year commencing Aug. 1 and ending Aug. 1. Their statement is compiled by the city controller. For the period com- mencing Aug. 1,,,1593, . and ending Aug. 1, 1894. the receipts into the school fund, as per the controller, were $164,546.61, and for the year ending Aug. 1, 1895, $441,811.37, or for the two years, $906,357.98, an average of $453,178.99, which will be seen is nearly nor- mal. For the year commencing Jan. 1, 1895, and ending Jan. 1, 1896, the city school fund actually received nearly $500,000 from all sources, the receipts in November, 1895, being unprecedentedly large. As will be seen, this amount is about $50,000 more than could be re- • ceived from all sources when the special city levy is two mills. It could only have been derived from delinquent taxes extending back for many years. It is generally understood that the delinquent taxes are nearly all paid in, and consequently the board can scarcely expect for the next few years to derive much revenue from this source. The special city leyy. for 1895 was $303,500, against which have j been Isued $242,500 certificates of indebtedness, which must first be paid as the taxes of 1895 ; are collected in 1896, leaving a balance of $61,000 ."which can come Into the fund from j the special levy, of 1895. On ihis ; basis the following > amounts would come Into the school fund during 1896 if the levy is j $150,001), as proposed by conference commit- i tee: One mill county tax $123 000 ■ Balance of levy of 1895 61000 i 60 per cent of $150,000 certificates of indebtedness 120 000 ' ■ State apportionment 75000 ! Cash on hand Jan. 1, 1896 : 82J0OO j Total ; $461,000 Against this cash balance of $52,000 there are yet outstanding the December, 1595, pay roll and sundry bills passed by the school board which have not yet reached or been paid by the controller, in an amount nearly j $50,000, ' which had it been paid would have ' left the fund only, about $32,000 cash. On | Jan. 1, of each' year, the school fund for a i number of years has shown a cash balance j of about $-10,000, which just about takes care | of the December claims, but if the levy as j proposed pass the council it would appear that tho board would have no cash on hand i Jan. 1, 1897, with $10,000 or $50,000; December, 1896, claims outstanding. For 1897 the revenue j Df the board would be, if the proposed spe cial levy for $150,000 in 1896 prevails, as fol- lows: ■■ x >■'"■■>-.'.. : Dne mill county tax $123 000 I From special tax of 1896 'ffffff. 30*000 ■ State apportionment ' 75000 ' 80 per cent of the special 2-mill levy for 1897 * 198.500 | Total ••••••• .$420,500 I An embarrassing feature would be as to ' whether the school board would have any I Dower to contract any Indebtedness for De- ! cember, 1896. should there be no cash on hand i to. pay the same, as would doubtless be the ' Ease.

LADY SOMERSET W.^CYT. U. V <t ' Monthly Meeting at the Residence of Mrs. Teeple. The regular monthly meeting of the The regular monthly meeting of the Lady Somerset W. C. T. U. took place yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. C. B. Teeple, 618 Central Park place. The New Year's greeting of the state president, Susanna M. D. Fry, was first read. After"*greeting the members of the union with "I do not forget you nor your work in Minnesota, though ab sent from you. At this moment I am wishing you a happy new year and feel sure you know how to have it," she sug gested that house to house visitation might be a fruitful way of enlarging their numbers, and said that the fourth Sunday in the month must be secured as universal temperance Sunday. She also urged that all the unions of the state observe Jan. 21 as the day of pray er. The union decided to hold a moth- ers' meeting the last Monday 'of the month at the home of Mrs. Hunt, West side. The topic under discussion will be "Importance of Proper Food for Children." It was also announced that Miss Anderson, teacher in the high school, would give a lecture soon upon j "The Old World" for the benefit of the W. C. T. U. The union is very well or- | ganized in all departments and there is i much interest shown in the work It has lately sent 100 pounds of literature to the woodmen camps, and has another 100 pounds ready to send. It keeps in circulation seven temperance and so- cial purity books, and has contributed considerable to the temple fund by each member pledging herself to earn a dol lar. GOLD CURE PATIENTS. Connty Commissioners Officially No- tilled of Judge AVillrlch's Action. At the meeting of the board of coun ty commissioners yesterday the matter of providing for the treatment of pa tients sent to a gold cure institute under the provisions of the "jag law" came up again, Judge Willrlch giving formal notice that the Keeley institute had been selected as the place at which county patients were to be treated. Without discussion the mat- ter was referred to the gold cure com- mittee, which consists of Ness Allen and Wright, as was also a proposi tion on the part of the St. Paul insti tute to treat such patients for SSO a head. 7 Y„ 7.. £ Commissioner. McCarron was appoint ed a committee !to confer with the commissioners of Anoka county rela tive to the Lake Josephine road. The county surveyor reported that it would cost $2,710 to construct the road from the Barlow road at New Brighton to the north and south road on the sec tion line between sections 21 and 22. It would be very expensive work part of the way. •.....,... ; Y'.;:Y-'^ The bill of ; Deputy Coroner McNa- mara for $180 for twelve days' time spent in connection with the Clara Berg case was allowed, as : was also a bill of $101 from George N.

Some one, evidently -a Mlnneapolitan, is j busily engaged in v burdening the United ! States mails with marked copies of a Minne- ; apolis morning paper, which recently publish- I ed an editorial reflecting on the municipal I administration and financial system of St. i Paul. Controller McCardy and other city of ficials have received copies of these papers. Attorney General Childs has received two copies at the hands of the anonymous guar dian of the suffering tax payers. There is one conspicuous proposition in the editorial, the first sentence In fact, which: perhaps accounts for its having been noticed, which is as follows: The finances of St. Paul ap- pear to have fallen into a very distressful condition. The necessity of curtailing ex- penditures and economizing in every possible ' direction is recognized by its taxpayers from I the least to the greatest. The city has been sevefaf^arsYlll6 Sl°Ugh of insol"'en^ *>? Said Mr. McCardy last night: "There are few cities in the country which have weath ered the hard times of the last three or four years better than St. Paul. We have paid off In that time more than half a million dollars of interest-bearing debt without incurring any new obligations of that nature. That is a record which any city might be proud of and which is anything but 'floundering in the slough oi Insolvency.' '.' HELD FOR INVESTIGATION. Charles* Vngen Locked Up Without Any Charge Against Him. When Charles Vagen, a German aged twenty-five, was searched at the central police station last night he was found to possess a sharpening steel and long crooked knife with a keen edge. He said he was a butcher. Va- gen had been arrested about 9 p. m. by Officer Anderberg on lower Seventh street. He went into Evans' saloon Sunday night and endeavored to cash ! a check for $25 but failed. Last night he provided himself with two checks, one for $15. and the other for $11, in fa- vor of himself, and each purporting to be signed by Henry Sachwitz, a saus- age dealer of 256 East Seventh street. At Croonquist & - Peterson's he pur- chased several dollars' worth of mer chandise and tendered one of bis checks. But the change was refused. Mr. Vagen's attention was called as he went out the door to a pair of the firm's gloves in his. pocket and which he had forgotten to refer -_ to. He promptly returned them. He after- wards applied at a number of business houses with the same checks, but ob- tamed neither, change nor rest until Officer Anderberg sent, him to the sta tion. . :....>'■ ._;,;.., ■: .-.j. • .
