SCHOOL DISTRICT FUNDS.
Important Decision BY the Supreme
Court Of Vermont.

which says that Money in the Old
1903, Was ''Property'' Belonging to
the Town District. and Must BE Turn
ed over Ia II.
The supreme court has recently decided
the hotly disputed question as to whom be-
longs the school money remaining in the
treasures of the individual districts, when
the school law of 1892, establishing tae
town system OF schools, went into effect
The decision is, in short. that these funds
belong to the town district and must be
turned over to 10. The opinion was written
by Chief Judge Ross and was published i'm
the Burlington Free Press Of Wednesday,
with q brief summary OF the points invOly-
ed Under the second section of the new
school law it Is provided that "the several
towns shall take charge of the schOOlhouses
and property belonging thereto The
question which Immediately arose was
whether money on hand. and uncolected
taxes, were property to be turned over
to the town districts. Many districts
claimed that these funds were not such
property, and not few went so far as to
divide the money among the taxpayers.
The Free Press says there were about 800
such cases In other cases the money was
paid over TO the town treasurer and held
by him. or was retained by the districts
and held in trust until the question was
legally settled The test case, as will be
seen by the text of Judge Ross opinion,
here given, arose in Barre.
