At the close of this scholastic year,
Sept. 30, 1891, it is estimated that the
schools will have cost the county, in adj
dition to the above expenditures $500,
making the total expenditures S26. AZ, SO.
To this must be added contingent ex-
penses, estimated to be about $50, a little
more or less, Hence, the balance to be
carried over to 1912, will be about ST.,
282,39 besides a small distribution to be
received from the State this month Of
July.
Attention is called to the following
facts
Ia decrease in the school fund this
year, owing to a decrease in the amount
Of taxes received from the railroads

ers this year is s 2nd grade, %; and the
decrease Of Sd grade teachers is %.
4.-There will probably be a further
reduction Of the fund in 1912, owing to
the reduced balance to be carried over
from 1S90-9l This however, NAV be
by the increased poll
tax. At any rate, It cannot be materially
greater than il is this year.
