REPORT OF SCHOOL FiNANCEs.-Wc give below
the report of the Board of the Upton School
District. 1t should be stated that the sums Civ
en- include near five hundred dollars that was
paid on Old orders on the Teachers fund. These
orders given for services long since rem
dered, and do not properly belong in the cur
rent expenses of the last year. The same is true
of near two hundred dollars paid out of the con
tingent fund Had these facts been known to the
late board in time, provisions would have been
made to pay all the indeb edncss Of the District.
That was one system of economy adopted by the
Board of 'tl and 49, to refuse to pay the debts of
the District and leave them for their successors.
There is still out, one order Of about $50. on the
