A bill was prepared sometime ago
by City Solicitor Curtis, under the di.
rection OF City Council, providing that
one-third or The money received for
liquor licenses In this city should be
given to the Board of Education for
the use Of the schools.
1t was urged against the bill that
this city and county were receiving q
fair proportion of the school fund but
books show something different:
Surplus revenue fund-Each county,
&8335.
State appropriation - New Castle
county, Ole, 900; Kent anu Sussex, each
$500.
General fund and other sources Now
Castle. S4l, S88. ~; Kent, $s4, GO So; Sus-
sex. $37, 1856 83.
New Castle Countrywide to general
fund. s7S02l. 81; received. s41, S88.43.
Kent County-Paid to general fund,
s7,00B. 62111s; received, S24, 820.59.
Sussex County-Paid to- general
City OF Wilmington-Paid to general
fund, s88, 600; received. 10000; New
Castle County. including Wilmington.
received for each scholar from general
fund, $3.50; Kent County received for
each school from general fund, $4.24;
Sussex County received for each
scholar from general fund. $4.23; city
OF Wilmington receives for each
scholar from general fund, 63 cents.
Whole School Fund-New Castle
County, including Wilmington. receiv-
ed from entire State fund, S5S,3l6.22;
scholars In New Castle County. 1852;
receives for each scholar, 1892.
Kent County received from entire
State fund SSS, 1856. SO; scholars In Kent
County, 500; received for each scholar,
so. "a.
Sussex county receives from entire
state fund. S5l, 62l 30; scholars in Sus-
sex county. S197; received for each
scholar, 1884.
City OF Wilmington receives from
entire state fund, $4,000; scholars in
city OF Wilmington, 9463; receives for
each scholar $l.3T.
1t will be seen from the above. that
while Now Castle county paid to the
general fund S7S02l.67, and received
but al, 1856. 81. Kent and Sussex coun-
ties combined only paid 81. 1874. 80, and
received SOL 1887. 10 in return. AS vii.
mlngton paid $66.000 of the amount
from this county and received but
$1,000, 1t looks very much as though
the greater part OF the burden OF sus-
tanning the schools OF the State falls
on this city.
