a financial estimate OF the receipts and ex
penditures of the Board of Educat on from
Feb. 81. 1886, TO Oct. 1, 1886, the date of
each tax levy.
The estimate shows balance on hand
Oct 1, 1856. of 81. $50. which In my opin-
Ion Is about correct. as it has been figured
with the utmost care and safety. IL also
shows all the floating indebtedness, which
is fully provided for, requiring no further
taxation 10 pay 1t.
The tax levy Of the year 1885 does not
provide for the erection of any of the new
school buildings now under consideration,
as at the time the levy was fixed by the
Common Council in October. 1855, 1t was
considered that the $50 900 levied (since alb
s0rbed by the erection of the addition TO the
Madison School and other imprOvements),
in addition to the 500. 600 school bonds au-
thOTiZed by the Legislature February. 1885.
would be sufficient to bridge over until the
year 1887. The rapid growth of st. Paul is
the cause of all the imaginary difficulty
None are at fault. unless it is necessary to
have second sight" The school finances
are IN a remarkable sound condition. 1t is
an easy matter to let legal contracts for the
