We find that the School Trustees
hav-, in the year 1878, expended a
much larger amount of public school
money, in improvement and repairs,
without the sanction of the District,
than the law contemplstes or au-
thnrizes. (See Com. Laws, Vol. 2,
page 260, Sec. 25)
We would suggest the exercise of
economy and vigilance, in all ex-
penditures, commensurate with the
necessities Of the District, and just
appreciation of the uses and value of
public school money.
We find that the Trustees of School
Distric. No. 3, Sutro-hsvc account
ed for all public monies appropriated
to their school District, the balance
on hand agreeing with the books OF
the County Auditor; but difficulty
was encountered when tabulating
their accounts, arising from the in
definite manner in which their rec.
Ords have been kept, not showing the
various donations made by the citi-
zens in q clear and distinct way,
these donations not having been
reported to the County Treasurer as
the law directs.
We would suggest a more careful
and correct system IN keeping their
accounts hereafter, and strict COM
pliance with the requirements of the
school laws, and thereby prevent
this, or any other financial embarras-
ment occurring in the future.
We find that the Trustees ofSchool
District No. 4. Churchill-are justly
entitled to great credit for the energy
displayed and economy exercised in
the discharge of their duties, since
the organization of their District,
September 10th, 1878. We find that
they together with the citizens OF
their District, by liberal donations,
caused to be erected a substantial
frame school house at cost of $575,
and supplied the same with the nee
essary furniture, costing IS 81 OF

For economy in contingent expen-
ses and care manifested in school
management for the length of time
that this school has been open, we
would most cheerfully commend
their frugahty to the respectful con-
sideration Of the school trustees in
the other districts Of the county. We
find that r. NJ. Alcorn. the Secretary
of the board, is justly entitled to ia
yorable notice for the correct and
faithful manner that he has discharg-
ed his duties.
We find that School District No.
s, Wabuska, was organized in May
1879, but no school-house was pro-
vided before January 1880. Since
the organization of the District, there
has been public moneys apportioned
