To the Editor Of the HERALD.
Not long since you published the
apportionment Of the tax to the sew
eral towns in the county arranged by
Mr.. Kidd for the year 1876, and asked
the people to inspect it. Having look
ed the matter all over carefully, exam
ined the school code clearly. allowed
every construction to be put on the
law as is provided (See laws of 1870
page Ill sec cd to meet the salary of
County Superintendent, my construc
ton Is that the county Board of SUI
peryisors shall ascertain the amount
of county school tax for the year.
Then they shall add to this what ever
the salary of the Superintendent may
be: likewise the amount necessary to
defray the printing expences. Then
apportion the amount among the sew
eral towns, according to their tax val
uation, to deiray comfy expences.
The way the thing now stands as the
figures show Patch Grove is paying a
county tax to the amount of S709.l3,
and pays to defray the expences OF the
School Superintendent. s2l,l2. The
town of Wyalusing pays a county tax
to the amount of 1857 SIS, and pays to
defray expences of School Superlnten-
dent 500. 2O-Sl os more than Patch
Grove and only pays about one half as
much county tax as Patch Grove.
Wyalusing has not as many school
districts as Patch Grove; the latter
having eight school districts, one gra-
ded school with two or three teachers,
and Wyalusing having seven districts.
The School Superintendent hardly if
ever comes to the town of Wyalusing.
Patch Grove receives full share OF
his duties as he holds his examina.
tons there. Now what is wanted is
to know in what way the amount of
the School superintendent salary is
apportioned among the several towns ?
Is it is because we are poor, have
more children and less school houses,
we paw unfair aud not equal taxes ?
