ID. II. Allen, county superintendent
OF schools, sent In the following com.
munication;
In 1902 the County Court assessed two
mills tax upon tho taxable property In
the county tor school purposes, and was
81 the opinion that the rate should be
lowered this yoar at loast ono-half Of
mill, but am now convinced that tho
rate two Mills will be necessary.
Last year tho territorial school fund
furnished S5.J2 per capita OF the number
OF persons OF school age. This year II u
only s3.ii por capita, a difference Of over
s2.2l for each child OF school age In tho
county. As we counted on the territorial
fund for this year being tho same as In
1892, and as thoro were 1854 children In
salt Lake county between tho ages Of six
and eighteen years, this makes the school
fund TALL over $4,000 short OF tho amount
estimated ~ being needed for tho schools
this year.
Many OF tho districts of tho county will
run short Of funds; indeed some OF the
schools have already been compelled to
close for this season. ! am informed
that the schools OF Salt Lake City Will
close this year with deficit.
In the light OF these facts two mills
tax will be needed for the schools OF Salt
Lake county for the ensuing year, and I
ask your honorable body Ia behalf Of the
schools of salt Lake county to loyy tax
OF two mills upon the taxable property
OF tho county for school purposes.
Tho communication was filed and
the court adjourned TIL Thursday next.
