Mr. Rhoads' school Commissioner bill III.
X, D. coming up with a favorable recon-
mendation from tho Committee on Educav
ton
Mr.. GREGORY, of Warren, explained that
the object Of the bill was 10 dig out moneys
lost in the various county treasures. Ii was
recommended by the superintendent Of Public
Instruction, who had already ferretted out
some S27 900 Of the school fund sequestered in
the treasures Of only two or three counties.
Mr.. HAMRlCK advised delay about autho-
rizing this Commissioner at salary Of S3,50O-
more than the Superintendent Of Instruction
receives.
Mr.. RHOADS made the statement submitted
by Mr.. Gregory TO the amount of school
money lich had been discovered by the SUI
rts.ta Ont Of In. trtt.ft
counted for in Wayne county. The Superin-
tendent could not continue 10 do this work
and he showed the necessity of this Commits
siOner
Mr.. NEWCoMB thought it best to pay the
expenses Of this Commissioner separate from
the salary. lie spoke Of the loose manner in
which these school funds are managed, and re-
commended a change OF custodians, and de-
posit where 1t would be secure from loss.
We have a law now that the counties shall he
responsible for the fund. The bill would not
cure the evil.
Mr., BURWELL also objected TO the creation
of this new office, The superintendent should
perform its duties,
Mr.. GREGORY, of Warren. II would re-
quire more than one day 10 each county seat.
This bill was TO make a final settlement of
these sequestered. funds. II would add seven
ty or eighty thousand dollars 10 the school
fund.
Mr.. McvEY. Former superintendent had
labored in this direction as well as the present
superintendent, and the work was partly
done.
Mr.. WOODS. The school system was get
ting to be too expensive in its machinery.
MIR. NEWCOMB proposed amend, by
striking out Of section three '3 $500" and in
serting In lieu this: $4,000 and his natural
and necessary travelling expenses" and insert
ing further: ''from the fund raised by taxa
ton for school purposes"
Mr.. Bt'RWELL moved indefinite postpone
ment of the bill and pending amendments.
Mr.. RHOADS advised delay.
Mr.. MILLER thought the bill would not
benefit the children. There was the expense
Of hunting up this money. Ii would be better
nj once TO assess the needful tax directly. The
bill was simply making an officer to see
whether the County Auditors have done their
duty.
Mr.. FERRIS made statement to show that
the Commissioner could not go into-~the 90
counties and investigate this fund in one year.
But he saw no necessity for the bill, and de-
manded the previous question.
The previous question was seconded, and the
main question, and the yeas and nays were Or
dered.
