SHORTAGE of $35.73 was found

no longer connected with the auditors

good, although he had not been respon-

lather not to make good the shortage,
since I was in no way responsible for
it," said Mr. Schaffer. "But my friends
en the board advised me to make it
good rather than go into court with
the matter." Attention is called to the
disappearance of tuition receipt books
in the report of the auditors.

Balance for Two Months.
In the tabulated analysis of shortaze
the tuition receipts issued and the
cash book receipts are shown to bal
ance to a cent during the months of
August and September, 1914. But In
October and November of the same year
no record of the receipts Issued can be
found as the report states that a re
ceipt book Is missing which covers
paits of the month of October and No
vember." Set out to one side, because there
was nothing to balance against them,
are two items of S329.9 and 32SS.41 for
the months of October and November,
which represent the cash deposits for
these two months. Attention vas
called to the fact that the total amount
of the-cash deposited from the tuitions
during the month of November was
smaller than that of the previous
nwDin. aitnougn practically tne same
ncmoer ot tuition pupils are said to
have been in atendance. The cash
receipts for the succeeding months of
December and January also show the

the month of October. Tuition receipts
for February totaled 3394.22. which is
an Increase of more than 1W In one
month, but for the following month

mend that the fiscal year be changed
to end either during the month of Julv
or August. The books can be closed I
now for March 3 and then closed again !
at the end of July or August and a
new fiscal year started at that period.
This closing will entail considerable
work and we would suggest that some
outside assistant be used in having
this work done, as your present office
force is kept very busy keeping up
with the routine work and we under
stand the present force is to be re
duced so that it will be hardly possi
ble for the present auditor to do this
work.
Books 'Were Balanced.

cnoo! Fire Escapes. I
The question of fire escapes for the
S00 bruHd'n was brought op by
I ""V , Homday who said a new
I ste law compelled fire escapes on
J school buildings that were over two
j ' in height. Mr. Holliday said
! dll not think this would apply to
1 E' Paso but suggested that the attor-
neys for the board and the fire mar-
snal be consulted. It was also reported
mat tne oauaing inspector bad con-
deranbd the chimney on the northeast
corner of tbe hie-h school hulMlnc-
j which had been struck by lightning.
No Jlovie Machine.
The report of the finance committee
on the i1 ay ground budget for recrea
tion during the summer months was
made by A. !. Hawley, chairman of the
committee. It was recommended that
the budget as presented by superin
tendent R. J. Tighe and prepared by
j. ii. aunt, playground supervisor, be
adopted with the elimination of " tbe
moving picture machine and operator
ana tne purcnase 01 a motor car.
The summer budget extends over a
period from June 1 to August 21. al
though many items of permanent use
in the playground work were included.
This was approved upon condition that
the Cllv TM 1MMA nrnnilnd fur th.
playground work. This, it was stated,
would be done, as the playground fund
set aside by the city could not be used
for any other purpose. Mr. Stine an
nounced that supervisors for the sum
mer playground work would be selected
from among tbe regularly employes
teachers who desired summer employ
ment and he said he believed that suf
ficient teachers could be found to fill
all of the vacancies in tbe supervisors'
lists. The selection of tbese supervi
sors was referred to superintendent
Tighe, A. K Hawley and E. M.
YVhitaker. The budget as presented
to the board called for an appropriation
of J248 eacn for the Lamar. Bailey.
Vilas and Franklin. 25 each for the
Beall and Aoy: 3120 each for the Ja
cinto and Sunset, and 112 for Douglass
school. This covered the summer
months only. Supplies and apparatus
for the playgrounds. It was estimated,
would cost SSS. Tbe supervisor's
salary for the year was placed as
32206.
Audit Company Keport.
The report of the audit company
showed that the receipts in the main
tenance fund, from August 1, 1914, to
April 3d. 191&. amounted to 3213.S10.o7.
The disbursements from the fund dur
ing the same neriod was lven as
3192.24S.18. The total receipts and
balance totaled 3243.957.31 and the bal
ance on April 3D was 151,510 93. The
total disbursements from the building
fund is given as 1104,771.51 and the re
ceipts and balance pn August 1, 1914,
was .5' The balance on April
vras 1.798.5. The expense of ad-
ministration from August 1 to April 38
is given as I8.I3.8d. The total ex
pense, of operation was 114,290.17, tbe
total expense of Instruction, including
teachers and principals, 1157.071.71.
A comparative table of revenues and
expenses for April showed a deficit of
.B th. racrfpta for the month
SSS?' i? AX.V' , " f "".iT1 "1
1795.67. This is not significant as the
receipts from the various school funds
are received in two amounts each ear
and the deficit shown on the monthly
statement is merely an accounting term.
The expenses of administration for the
month are .given as 11.287.5. For in
struction, the schools expended 119.
394.88. For operation J1.S47.9 was
spent and for maintenance 153.713. Tbe
total expenditures for April, 1915.
amounted to 122.SC7.4e. while that of
April. J914. was J19.62t.2S.

Tokio. Japan. May 25. The Japanese
government has received from the
United States a note voicing the pre
sumption that the treaty pending be
tween China and Japan will not have
the effect of disturbing American rights
in China, the open door, or the sover
eignty of China. Considerable publicity
has been ziven to the American note
by the newspapers here.
Tne newspapers say they cannot un
derstand the necessity for the note, in
asmuch as Japan has taken the United
States Into her confidence during the
negotiations. It is expected the treaty
will be signed this week.
