Board of School Directors.

Att meeting Of the Board of School Diree-
tors for the District of Van Burcn, the fol-
lowing action was had:
WHEREAS, The County Treasurer having
furnished to this Board statement OF the
amount Of the special school tax paid into the
Treasury BY the County Collector, amounting
to S20I3 60 in Currency and sllSSSo IN state
Scrip, this Board Is OF the opinion that the
County Collector has fallen into an error as 10
the proportion of Currency to Scrip collected
believing so large a proportion OF the taN'
(being over one-third) could not have been
collected before the decision of the supreme
Court was rendered making the special school
tax payable in Currency.
In order to avoid doing injustice to the Col
lector on the one hand and to satisfy those
taxpayers of the District who believe Il
wrong has been done, on the other. dH tax
PAYERS living within the bounds of this Dis
triet are requested to bring their tax receipts
