Wh5s cost of the system for the year sss7,l72 30


The fact that large portion Of the school
taxes remained uneollected at the expiration
of the scholastic year has rendered it imDos-
sible to give exact figures in all cases in the
above summaries. But it Is believed that the
estimates given are near the truth. No such
trouble as this is apprehended in the future.
Before any school money was collected and
paid into the State treasury the expenses of
printing. ruling, etc, amounting to sl,612.95,
were paid out of the printing fund of the
State, and the other Office expenses, amount
ing to about $500, were paid out of the civil
contingent fund. The salary Of the Super
intendent Of Public Instruction, from the 9th
of March, 1870, to the 1st Of September, 1871,
md portion of his travelling expenses,
amounting in all to about s3,27u.76, have also
been paid out of other funds than the school
fund. Hence, to get the cost Of the system
since the 5thsasf March, 1870, the sl.n or
these three amounts should be added to the
whole cost of the system as given above,
making 1t SJ92, ,85G.1Q.
