into one fund instead of several funds. as Is
now the case II is cOntended That snch a
change would be q great help % the teachers
in getting their money more quickly.

wages TO the credit OF any district. DO consOl-
idated into oney Certainly. after they had
been apportiOned By the county supenntend-

accounts with each district. and save all the
trouble of changed warrants IL the annual
settlement Is matters now stand the
