somewhat on the merits OF this bill,
Many members arc sadly misled as TO the

additional tax OF ten cents that In their

There arpIn this State ar school 1istriSis

sub.dtstricts-ten sub,districts to each dis.

creased benefit OF 81 ,000and there are five
districts In that county. Taking the aver.
age OF ten sub-distrfcts TO each district,
will make fifty sub.districts in which
schools arc taught in that coun.

far will that go towards keeping up your

thing has been or can be done. II you
were to increase the State tax sufficiently
TO supply every district It would be 80 or
