R S Gary Board of Education Makes Apportionment of Available Revenue Four Pianos Ordered Purchased For Various Buildings. At last night's meeting of the school board, it developed that the school tax levy would be the same as last year, contrary to popular expectation. The opinion that there would be a decrease in the rate was based upon the belief that the valuation of the taxable property within the corporate limits of Gary would be largely increased. Disappointment in this connection, however, has led to the necessity of maintaining the old rate for the support of the education system. The levy for 1910-11 will be divided as follows: Special fund, 50 cents; compulsory education, 10 cents; tuition', 40 cents; public library, 10 cents; kindergarten. 1 cent; bond fund, principal and interest. 25 cents. A number of matters of interest were brought up at the board meeting. Four pianos were ordered purchased for the various schools. Two of the instruments will go to the big new Emerson . building, one to the portable school at Fourteenth avenue and Broadway and the other is for the use of the kindergarten south of the Pennsylvania. A number of supply men appeared before the board, who were desirous of furnishing various supplies needed in the way of school furniture and other school equipment. Some nursery firms were also represented, who had nlano to offer regarding the improvement of the grounds, around the Emerson school. The matter was referred. Another estimate on the construction of the Emerson school wa unproved and ordered paid to the rhardt Construction company, the contractors for that building. The amount of this estimate was $4,163. There will be no change in the iCTt book this term, with the exception of the new readers, which wero riooi upon at a meeting of the board of edu cation held last spring.

There was no great damage done to the farmers which were high, but many of them in the Calumet river baein were almost totally 'destroyed. Tomatoes, cabbages and small fruits were injured the most severely. The grains such as corn were not , harmed In the least. Previous to this frost It was thought that the farmers would experience the most successful year In their histo-?. The total amount of the loss at the present time can scarcely be estimated Some of those truck farms are so extensive that their products are shipped by the carload Into South Water street.
