IMPROVEMENT FUND
IS HOW EXHAUSTED Notice to This Effect Served on the Board by Controller Today.
The city! has exhausted the street improvement fund and no more improvements in which the citv has to (pay a oharecan be ordered. This I morning at the meeting of the board lof works, City Controller McMahan I served notice sto this effect on the 1 board. Over $28,000 thas been -spent by the I city this sprlngton improvements. The
heaviest drains on the city treasury were for brick streets. The paving of West Main street from the river to West Eighth street calls for about $7,000, and the rpavlng of North Seventh street froraMaln to A, will cost the city $1,100. The tmprovement of Ft. Wayne avenue'cost-the city $3,300. The city pays as its share of the bricking of streets a sum equal to the cost of macadamizing the same mount of surface. . The city's share on other improvements, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, sewers, street macadamizing, etc., combined with the paving expense, exhausted the street fund in just four and one-half months. The majority of Important street improvements have been contracted ( for, and the money on hand to pay for them, but improvements petitioned for from this time on, must be laid over until next year.
The board this monning took cognisance of the work of'the marketmaster Investigating committee by asking for the list of scales which the committee found had. not been inspected. They state Taylor wants to get buBy on this work and complete the investigation of tscalesthehas overlooked. To save the trees along the side-
rwalk on National t road between Sec
ond and Fifth streets, the cement sidewalk will be placed( four eet from the property line. Thisfavor was granted
petitioners this morning. The assess
ment roll on the sewer between North E and the railroad andrfrom Sixteenth to Seventh streets was ' passed. The board postponed action on a troublesome alley v running tsouth from the National road and Thiud streets. A cement alley is desirednby residents,
.but one man owning at long, narrow
strip of land bounded by alleys on each side, does not want1 such an alley because of the venormous cost to him. The city would' have to pay a large sum, in case thisHmprovement is made, for damages. , Jones Hardware company received the contract for glass for the new greenhouse to be placed at the Glen Miller park The new house is to be 65 by 18 feet. The wooden framework and sides are to be secured from Chicago. The ventilating frames contract Is left to tbedecision of'the city engineer. Local Asms entered1 bids. Because Dr.. Ferling is now meat inspector at the city slaughtering hause, he may lose the profitable trade of looking aftertthe city horses and other
animals needing a . veterinarian's attention. This morning Supt. Hollarn of the Glen told a hair raising story of a Ight between two monkeys at the Glen. One animal developed a sore on his back. Hollarn tried to remedy the some wtlh salve, but when the monk got through with him he used the salve on himself. Hollarn asked that a veterinarian be sent to look after the animal. Dr. Ferling was of course suggested. But it was pointed out that as he is meat inspector and drawing a salary for this work he would not be eligible to attend to the city veterinary work. Accordingly Dr. Stewart was sent out to attend to the simian. Contracts were awarded this morning for three jobs. These are about the last to be let this year. The alley back of No. 1 hose house from North D street, to North Eighth street is to be cemented by Burkhardt at 10.5 cents per square foot. Sidewalks on North Twenty-second street went to Burkhardt at nine cents for the sidewalks, and eleven cents for the cement crosswalks and fifteen cents for brick cross walks, each per lineal foot.
BETTS IHO TWIRL For Locals Against the Shilohs, Sunday.
League Standing.
Middletown 2 0 1.000 Hamilton 1 0 1.000 Richmond 2 1 .667 Miamisburg 1 1' .500 Dayton 0 1 .000 All-Kentuckians 0 2 .000
"Heavy" Betts will mount the mound for the Quakers at Athletic park next Sunday when the locals
meet the Shilohs from Dayton. Betts
work of last Sunday caused Jimmy Braxton to release Riner and "Slats' Avery from the Quaker pitching staff, leaving Johnson and Betts to do all the mound work. Next Sunday's game is expected to be fast inasmuch as the Shilohs' and the Quakers are about evenly matched. Four of the Richmond players are former members of the Shilohs and have played with the mfen who now compose the Dayton aggregation. In case the Hamiltonians trounce the Middletown nine next Sunday and Richmond takes the victory from Dayton, Richmond will step into second place in the K. I. O. league. At present the locals have a percentage of .667, Middletown and Hamilton now lead the league, each with a percentage of 1.000. It is not known whether the local club will hold on to Schattel or not. Schattel is one of the two local men on the team and because of this and his fielding ability the club is loath to release him. But the right fielder's batting is way below the average and in case Manager Braxton can locate a good all-round man to fill the position Schattel probably will be released.
CORNERSTONE WILL BE LAID JUHE 5TH Ceremonies to Attend Start on St. Andrews New School House.
The corner stone of the new school building which is to be erected by the St. Andrew's Catholic church will be laid on June 5. The affair will be attended by great ceremony.

After the laying of the stone the St Anne Ladies Society and the St Joseph Society will give a picnic at
Beallview Park. Dinner and supper will be served in picnic style to all present. Various amusements have been provided for. The proceeds of the picnic will go toward the erection of the school. The building is to be of gray brick to harmonize with the church. It will have eight class rooms, an auditorium that will seat 800 people, a library and a laberatory for the physics and chemistry classes. It is expected the building will be finished in time for the school opening in September. The edifice when completed will cost $55,000.

IS WHITE ELEPHANT
Tenn. Coal Company Costly to Steel Trust.
(National News Association) NEW YORK, May 23. That the Tennessee Coal and Iron , cbmpany, which was acquired by the United States Steel corporation in 1907 through special dispensation of President Roosevelt, has proved a white elephant on the hands of the corporation, was the declaration made by Charles Page Perin, an ore expert, at the hearing of the government dissolution suit against the alleged steel trust today. Perin said that the supposed cheaper production of ore in the south was apparent only, and as a matter of fact the only prosperous southern concern was the Woodward Coal and Coke company, an independent. For ten years, the witness declared, southern steel and iron companies have been losing money. Mr. Perin was d member of the appraisal committee which in 1904 and 1906 appraised the property of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
REVENGE JOR CINCY C. U. Team Finally Defeats the Speedy Quakers.
Taking the big end of a score 3 to
2 in a hard fought game yesterday af ternoon on Reid Field, Cincinnati Uni
versity drank deeply of revenge for the four athletic victories the Quakers have taken from the Buckeyes during the past year. The Quakers scalped the Queen City lads in football here last fall, took them into camp in two basbetball games and defeated them in baseball earlier in the season. Between the two schools the most friendly rivalry exists and the game yesterday, while a loss to the Quakers, closes a most successful season between the two institutions. The Quakers hardly expected to lose yesterday, but seemed to lack the ability to get together in times of need. Errors in the infield in the first and sixth Innings gave the visitors the game. Bogue of Earlham got three hits out of four times at bat, but those following him could not bring him in. Earlham got only one hit for over one base, Brubaker getting a two-bagger in the first. The visitors batted out two two-baggers from Saunders. Each pitcher fanned seven men. Score by innings:
