County superintendent.
c. NJ. McClaren appeared and asked
that the board remit one-half of the tax
on his house which was burned in Wa
Keeney before the taxes were due. The
board decided that inasmnch as Mr.. Nc
Claren had received the insurance on his
property, which was an equivalent to the
property, they could not remit any part
of the tax.
J. ". Carson asked to have tax on the
Christian church in Wa-Keeney RENTED.
After having satisfied the board that the
is being used exclusively for
church purposes, though the property is
in Mr.. Cars0n's name, board ordered that
the tax be RENTED.
Co. Supt. A. B. Baker stated to the
board a proposition to have the county
keep on hand supply of school books to
sell to patrons of the schools, as the
prices at present paid are too high. After
consulting with the local book dealers
aud being satisfied that the dealers will
not make the prices on school books any
lower than at present, the board or
dered that an appropriation of two hum
dred dollars be placed under the control
Of the county superintendent for the pur-
pose of purchasing and keeping on hand
a supply OF school books, which he shall
sell to the patrons OF the public schools
of Trego county at the actual cost Of the
books laid down in Wa-Keeney.
Board adjourned. TO meet Jan. s, 1890.
