Iiik nn Addition In Accom
modate (he I'liplfn.
Lnko school, nt the corner of Nineteenth
nnd Lako streets, was so crowded last year
that it was necessary to rent un adjoin
ing storeroom for tho accommodation of
ono of tho grades. Thero are sixteen
rooms in the building, but it has again been
found too small and enough pupils for
seventeen rooms urn crowded into the
building pending soma action of Iho Hoard
of Education to rcllovo tho situation.
"Thero Is no reason to bollevo that the
school will ever bo nny smaller than it Is
nt present, nnd I nm confident that it will
show a decided gain In attendance each
year," Superintendent Pearso said In dis
cussing tho building. "It Is expenslvo nnd
unsatisfactory to hnvo pupils scattered
about in ndjolnlng buildings and I hope tho
board will see fit in build nn addition to
tho school. Thcro Is spaca enough on tho
north end of tho lot for a four-rom ad
dition, which would nccommodato tho at
tendance for years to como.
"Such nr. addition would, In my opinion,
bo butter than n separate building in that
part of tho city and could bo mulntulned
with lets oxpunso. Tho school Is so near
tho center of tho city th.it It will a 1 way a
have a largo attendance. A frame addi
tion would bo prefernblo to brick, in
that it would bo less expciislvo und could
bo moved to another alto in caso tho sUo
of tho Lnko school is reducrd by the erec
tlon of other bulldlUKS in that dlstrlut."

HOLD DIFFERING OPINIONS
Otlletnln of the Internal ItciTC-nur Dr
Iinrtinent .Seem to He at Vnrlnnoe
l.ith One Another.
An order Involving tho liability of tho
manufacturers of certain flour products to
tho puyment of interval revenue has been
rrcelved by tho collector of Internal rev
enue. The question came up on tho in
quiry of an Omaha houso as to Us liability.
This house manufactures n flour known as
"self-raising." Its formula shows that It
contains wheat flour, cornmenl, salt and
leavening. The commissioner decides that
In ordor to come under tho provisions of
tho war rcvenuo net tho basin of "mixed
flour" must bo wheat flour audMiot corn
menl, an in this enso.
In this connection there is a dlfforenco of
opinion in departmental circles at Wash
ington, of which nono of tho ofilolals in
Omaha will spenk. Some time ago n No
braskn houso paid Internal rovonuo tax
upon mixed Hour us a product somowhat
similar to tfio ono in question, with tho
exception that tho base of their compound
was wheat flour. In the course of tlmo
an opinion of the commissioner was received
to tho offect that this flour did not come
within tho terms of tho act, and the com
pany not only ceused to pay the tax, but
sent to the department a claim for a re
fund of tho money previously paid. The
commissioner nllowed tho claim nnd tho
government nppcaled to tho comptroller, who
reversed the decision of the commissioner
and refused to refund tho money. With
this condition of affairs tho Nebraska
product goes on the mnrket without tho
stamp, but tho money paid cannot be re
covered. Iletinlreil Am- of Nnvnl ItreriiKa.
