G. B. No. AZ, Mr.. Ancheta's public schoo
bill, was read in full on its third reading
I Mr.. Perea introduced substitute, pre-
viding for the levy of tax of 8 mills b
the territorial auditor, the proceeds there
of to be used for school purposes afte
deducting the expenses of collection, et
Mr.. Ancheta said that he saw no pu
pose in the introduction of this subst
tute, which would only complicate ma
tiers and prevent the accomplishment {
the reforms contemplated by the Anchet
/ bill. He said that the Perea substitut
t would require the fund to 60 into tt
general territorial treasury, where
would nearly all be taken up in it's al
ministration. The Perea substitute woul
entail great expenses for printing, ett
so that the rural school districts wou
get almost nothing. The Ancheta bill, c
the other hand, makes it compulsory
levy mills on the dollar, with the priv
lege of levy Of mills more. Its effe
would be to give at least so per cent mo
money to the country districts.
Mr.. Perea replied that while he was n
r a lawyer he was occasionally constrain'
q to claim at least some knowledge of IL
law. He explained his bill fully, sayir
that he thought an allowance of levy
I S mills was too much and that the le'
