SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCES.
Slow Tax Payments Put the Treas.
ury in Deficit.


The schools reopen in this district
witha treasury in poorer shape to meet
the demands on It than ever in the
history of the city. There are now
outstanding warrants to the amount
of 10, 1913. IS drawing interest at the
rate OF 10 per cent, making that
amount Of deficit in the treasury. The
slow tax payments are responsible
for this. AT the sale of delinquent
taxes Sept, 4 the district received, ac-
cording to the county treasurer, about
$4,000, reducing to deficit to Sl,79S.
The district taxes will this year
amount to about Sl3, the district
will receive from the State 400; 1t
has on hand in the sinking fund
Sb44.46, making a total resource for
the coming year Of $l4,99l,
The expense budget,for running the
schools is according to the board
records; Wages 5000, interest $500,
janitor, $1,000, fuel 5000, supplies
$500, repairs, rent etc. II 900, total
Of t12,90O. A bond Of $1,000 is due
Jan. /, 1895. The balance on OLD
warrants and interest thereon Is ap

Of obligations Is $4,000, or $1,000
more than will be at the districts dis
posal. II the expenses Of the schools

vanoing with triumphant yells, showered
rapid volleys Of leaden balls into the bro
ken ranks. Thomas battery, which had
necessarily been silent till these troops had
cleared its front, now opened upon the reb-
ell infantry at short range. This turned
their attent ton to an objective point, and
