The State Scl,oo! Appropriation.
The secretary presented letter he had
received from DIR. Wickersham, supcrin-
tendent of public instruction, in answer to
letter written to him by the secretary by
direction of the board, in which the super
intendent says in effect, that the reason he
has not drawn his warrants for the school
appropriations is that there are no funds
in the state treasury with which to pay
them but that he is almost tired waiting,
&C., &c.
Mr.. Evans moved that the finance COM
mttce be directed to forthwith institute
legal proceedings against Superintendent
Wickersham, with view to compel him
to do his duty and draw his warrant for the
state appropriation Que Lancaster dis
tIict.
Mr.. Johnston suggested that, as DR..
Wickersham had within few days past,
published. in the School Journal, Il letter
addressed to State Treasurer Noyes, in
which he calls the treasurer's attention to
the overdue school appropriations and de-
ciareS that his duties are mandatory, and
that he will be compelled to draw his war
rants on the treasurer whether there be or
be not money in the treasury to meet them,
it might be regarded as precipitatc on the
part of the board to institute legal pro-
cecdings until DR.. Wickersham had had an
opportunity of fulfilling his promise. 1t
had been reported in the newspapers that
he had already drawn warrants for several
districts, that some of them had been
cashed by the banks. and on reaching the
state treasury had not been paid, for want
of funds.
Mr.. Brosius moved to amend by giving
notice to the state superintendent that if
the warrant was not drawn within thirty
days proceedings would be instituted.
Mr.. Spurricr proposed to amend by max
ing the time five days.
President Warfel stated that he had seen
DR.. Wickersham at Harrisburg within
few days past, and that he assured him that
he had given instructions to his clerks to
go right OH issuing the school warrants,
and that many OF them had been already
issued.
Mr.. Cochran said that he too had seen
DR.. Wickersham a few days ago, and that
his answer relative to the school warrants
was not satisfactory.
After some further discussion Mr..
Evans's motion to institute legal proceed
ings against DR.. Wickersham was carried
without division.
