A deficit has been discovered discov-ered amounting to several-hundred dollars, dol-lars, and some of the officers will have trouble in making their cash accounts balance. The institution is the High school bank, operated by the commercial department de-partment of the High school. Some of the boys will have a difficult time in making out their trial balance sheets. All the circulating medium of the bank will likely be called in and a receiver re-ceiver may be appointed, pending an investigation. A lot of the coin current in the High school commercial depart-ment depart-ment has been discovered in a slot machine, ma-chine, and the cash account of A. M. Van der Vlles, proprietor of the Utah Liquor House, also shows a corresponding correspond-ing deficit. Some of the High school boys have been filling up his slot machines with High school fives. Fifty-two in all had been dropped therein. In the commercial department of the school the every day business affairs are illustrated by means of mock business busi-ness houses, banks and a regular commercial com-mercial system. For the purpose of illustrating the various transactions coins are used, and those of one denomination, de-nomination, known as "fives." are just Several days ago Van der Vlies found several of these in his machine, but took them out and suspected nothing. A day or two ago his machine was touched for $7.50, and on removing the nickels dropped in it was found that J2.60 of the amount was in High school fives. Mr, Van der Vlies took the coins to President Dee of the board of education, educa-tion, who promised to give the matter attention at once. By the system of bookkeeping in vogue at the school it is expected that the missing coins can be traced, and, in fact, it is pretty well understood who the players were. It is said they were under age, and had no right to be in the saloon or to play the machine. |
