to the County Commissioners, dated February
Goth:
an early settlement with Baltimore city author
tiles of their Indebtedness to the county for
property belonging to the county and now
within the city, as president of the School Com
missioners for Baltimore county | wish to as
sure you that / do not believe any delay will be
occasioned on the part of the School Board in
making the title to all the school property now
your honorable Board may desire the execu-
ton of said deeds, as we fully recognize the fact
that we can only keep the schools in operation
as long as you furnish funds sufficient therefor
After the receipt of the above the County
Commissioners addressed the following letter to
Mayor Latrobe:
'fDear Sir We enclose herewith copy of
letter received to-day from the School Board
of this county in reference to settlement OF
the award of the arbitrators in the city extern
sion matter. You will notice that the School
Board is ready to execute deed for their prop
erty whenever requested to do so by this Board.
We see no reason, therefore, for further delay
and ask that an early day be named for the exc
cution of the necessary papers and the epayment
of the amount of the arbitrators' award. We
suggest Friday, March 8th, 1889, and ask your
concurrence in the same"
Mr.. Rogers says the sum needed to run the
schools to the end of the fiscal year Sept. Both,
1885, is S51 600. In addition to this there are
a number of demands from different sections
of the county for money to build new school
houses and if these are acceded to it would re-
quire $4,000 more. The amount levied for
school purposes for the current year was S125, :,
600, of which sum the School Board has already
drawn $83 600. Thus 1t will be seen that the
amount still due the schools on the levy is
420OO or So 900 less than is required to pay the
actual running expenses to Sept. Both next.
