psnses, $i7l 0S9 %: ovsrdraft current
expense rund June 30, 81, 1852 &c. which
balances the two sides OF tne sheet Tne
report WAS ordered printed
Senator Pyle took exception to the
correctness OF the report aud claimed
that II was misleading. IL shows"
said he, that the debt Is only about
"a 600, when the fact Ia that Is over
| $4,000 IL Is An injustice to the oity
and should not be adopted Last year
the board ran back about 81. 600 and
this year about $l7 00J The report
was only for eleven months andl does not
include June. The report should bs re-
turned sud corrected II the board
needs moro money aud can not get
large enough appropriation, let Il be-
raised by tax, bat such a mislesding z
report should not be made to ths poo
Pile.
In raply Mr. Baynard said "Ths Law
says the fiscal year ends on June 80.
The report shows every dollar received
and expended from July 1, 1895, Co june
30. 1896 II Is an exact statement OF
the finances OF this board aud carries
out the law. The June payroll WAS not
due until July and therefore not
entitled to 60 In the report. II IL had
bssn put In wo would also have had 10
put In tho receipts for July 80, and we
could then show balance to our
credit"
Thea Senator Pyle asked II tho teach
ers had been paid for jane, ana Mr..
BAynard said they had not when tho
report was made out, and added that In
doing this the law was followed. inas-
much ss the salary did not come due
until July
President Baird explained that owing
to the arrangement OF the calendar this
year, only eleven months were Included

sideratlon, there Is a shortage
