Sumner. Sept. t.-SpeciaL-The loss
which this town sustained by the fire
which occurred here Thursday night last
has been greatly over-estlmated by the
papers. The fact is that the total loss
does not exceed $500 and one-haif of this
Is covered by insurance. The block which
was destroyed consisted, with one eXcep-
tion. of unoccupted frame buildings, struc-
lures of little cost and less value, but
which have constituted a Hre-trap for
years. Hence the fire was not an uneX-
pected thing. The brick block. in which
was the Bank of Sumner. f.. S. Everett's

Olympia. Aug. 3i.-The question as TO
whether chapter s., Laws of lss5. provid-
ing for the levy OF school tax by the
state beard of equalization, widely known
as the barefoot school boy law" repeals
the Law authorizing county commissioners
10 levy county school tax, is one which
has been considerably discussed Of late.
Assistant Attorney General Haight today
addressed the following opinion 10 the
prosecuting attorney of Whitman county
on this subject:
You inquire in your communication of
the I'D inst. whether chapter GS Laws OF
1885. providing for the levy OF a school tax
by the state board OF equalization. repeals
so much Of section "a of the revenue law
OF 1888 as authorizes the boards OF county
commissioners TO levy a county school tax.
An Inspection OF the act Of 1895 shows
tnat there Is no express repeal AS to
whether there was any repeal by impllca-
ton. IL must be said that there is no in
consistency between the two provisions of
law and both must stand. unless it clearly
appears from the act of 1885 that that act
was Intended to cover the whole subject Of
taxation for school purposes.
w hatever might have been the inten-
ton of those who originally drafted the
bill, it IS understood to be a part of the
history OF this bin that its passage was
secured hy compromise reducing the
0AhOhttt W Dt bbRdiHNG Dt tue state AtAS
from $40 to s5 per child of school age in
the s'sse. IL is also a fact that the aver
age disbursement for school purposes per
cnild of school age within the state of
Washington during the past year was up-
wards Of sii II is quite apparent. there
fore. that the actual condition of the
schools of this state. with reference 10
which the law Of 1885 was passed. would
indicate that the law of 1895 was not to be
the sole provision for the maintenance Of
the schools of the state. This fact Is in
harmony with the language OF the act of
1895. which nowhere intimates or suggests
or implies that its provisions are 10 fur
nish the sole authority for the ievying Of
taxes for the support of the public schools
OF the state.
Il am. therefore. of the opinion that the
provisions Of section 81 OF the revenue law
OF 1893 en- ver!ng the county commits
stoners TO levy a school tax are still in
force"
