Where there were improvements, m extra price has been allowed. part Ofthe real estate so receivedI, has already been sold."

 H the collections Of the ensuing year should equal thejust expectations of the Commissioner, he believes that the state of inc Fund will justify moderate in- crease of the next dividend to an amount which may be permanently contknued An increased dividend for single year, to be diminished in the next and future years, would not, in the opinion of the Commissioner comport with good policy, but wonld produce disap- pontment in the expectations and calculations ot the School Districts more injurious than temporary in- crease would be beneficial.
