! this State In 1871, when the Dem
ocratic party took charge ofthe State
Government Of West Yirginia, the
amount Of Tie State School Fund
distributed that year was s2S7,2l5,-
IS, and thisyea it only amounts to
sle5, 1875. Why this difference?
AS the State increases in wealth and
population, this fund should grow
proportionately Jiorgantotcn Post.
The statement that the sum Of
1921, 2l5,SS was distributed in 1871,
appears by reference to the Audi.
tors report, tobe incorrect, as that
document puts the amount appor-
toned for that year at sl74,S96.35.
Reference is probably made to the
apportionment which is said to have
been made for the year 1870, but
which in fact included the receipts
into that fund from April list, 1859
to September list, 1870, in addition
to large sum which was apportion-
ed for previous years, but which was
not drawn from the treasury, and
was consequently reappotioned in
1870
On the first day of April, 1869, the
amount Of the fund in the treasury
was appoFti6Iitd as required by the
laws then in force. On that day
| (April 1st, 1862 the Code which re-
quires the apportionment to be made
on the first day Of September in each
year went into effect, and conse-
quently no apportionment was made
until September LIST, 1870, on which
day the amount Of the fund which
haa been accommodating for sec6ateen
months was apportioned.
1t will be seen by an examination
Of the Auditors report, that on the
first day of October, 1869, there was
in the treasury, to the credit of the
general school fund, the sum of $97,-
44043. The receipts into that fund
from October 1st, 1869, to September
LIST, 1870, amounted to s1ol $1,000,
which added to the srm :. the treas
ury October |, 1853 produces an ag-
grcgato Of S2SSs, 8SO.l7. The dis
66urSeEen..ss during the period from
Ctto,,er /, 1869, to September LIST,
1870, amounted to $G0,519.05. Add
to the sum in the treasury October l.
1869, the receipts from that time I'M
til September /, 1870, ana deduct
from the amount thereof the dis
bursements for the same period and
the result will show the amount re-
naming in the treasury for distri-
button, SEPTEMBER 1, 1870, to be
s228, S61.42. Tho Auditors report
shows that on the LIST day Of October,
1869, (when there was only the sum
of $97 ,440,49 in the treasury to the
credit Of the general school fund.-
there yet remained in the treasury
$48, 1917 which had been included
in the appointments Of former
years, and had not been drawn by
