Now the amount Of money received
from all sources including balance on
hand in February, 1884,
Amount on hand Feb, iss5.....".t3,iS3 o5
Amount paid for building, lots and
permanent improvements. 6,7ie 25-$9,9o5 20
Leaving balance Os
Which is the amount that it has
cost TO pay teachers, janitors, fuel and
all other running expenses of the
schools for one year. This amount is
less than Taxpayers own estimate,
$4,000. Next year there will be no
lots to buy, no buildings to erect, no
insurance to pay, and all the other
permanent improvements are OH hand
and worth at least what they cost.
Though it will be necessary to open
two new school rooms next year and
purchase seats for the same, yet there
can be no question that $4,000 will
be amply sufficient to raise by taxa
ton for school purposes for the COM
ing year. The district does not owe
a dollar and it has nearly 81 600 more
money on hand than at the CORES
ponding period last year. 1t will be
seen therefore that according to Tax
payer the Board of Education has
kept within bounds. To further H.
lustrate the matter of expense of ed
ucating single pupil here as compar-
ed with the expense per capita else
where, the following table taken from
the State superintendent last report
will be of interest. 1t is made out
by the officers of the respective dis
tricts and includes the amount paid
for teachers and incidentals only
no permanent improvements.
The first of these have no fully
equipped high school, but the most Of
them are so provided and are select
ed being of comparatively near the
same size as Alpena, except the first
few.

Judging from the conversation
heard on the streets and in the hotels,
the principal contest at the next city

Revival meetings commenced at the

management of Rev. j. ID. Potter, OF
Massachusetts,. The Congregational,
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
societies took part therein. The re-
suit was that the church was unable
to hold all those who desired to be
present. An attempt was made to
have all the business places and the
schools close part of each forenoon,
so that the clerks and scholars could
attend the revival. The Board Of
Education very properly refused to
close the schools. There was nothing
to hinder the scholars from attending
the revival if their parents desired
them to.
