PORT tHeee tnyee! Inc p9pulatiOn In our
rural towns is falling off. We raise so
cents per capita, and the population Is fall,
ing Oh in the country towns and our school
money from that source growing less.
There is the mill tax and the bank tax, the
mill tax one mill on every dollar Of the
valuation Of the State, the bank tax three
fourths Of one per cent. One
half of this goes to common schools.
1t is apporiioned to the towns according to
the number of scholars. We all know ,hs,
scholars in our rural towns are falling of
and consequently our school money il de-
creasing from that source. They say there
10 going to be an increase here in our school
money. / think We should keep this intact
for the common schools. They are the
stepping stones to the seminaries and col.
leges. Now $4,000 were paid out two
years ago for repairs Of the normal schools.
The report from the common schools oi
1889 shows an appropriation Of $1,000 made
BY the Legislature for the purpose Of
building q new extension to the building q,
Pennington. This building has been COM
pleted and the school Gov has commoJious
and convenient quarters. in all respects 3
credit to the State. 1t was only year sgo
last December that this report vas
made, and the building then was In
good repair. The Gorham school OK.
pended $1,000 and IN appropriation Of
$4,000 was made for the enlai cement CT
the buildings ut Casino and consequently
e12, 800 has been expended on the repairs
OF these three normal schools. l think
that we should keep our school money
where it belongs. The school tax Is the
highest tax on our rural people. Nov. a.
We come here AID vote for the normal
schools and seminsriss We shall have to
raise more school money in the rursl
towns and finally all through the State. II
ii is in order I would move that the bill be
referred back to the committee.
Mr.. Ciason of Ga1diner-I see no reason
for referring that back to the committee on
