The Illinois legislature, at its las'
session, passed bill materially chang
ing the school law as applied to ex-
penses and assessments for building
purposes. The old law allowed 2 per
cent of the valuation for purpose o.
expenses and per cent for building
purposes. The change in the law al
lows 21a per cent for running expenses
and the same amount for building pur-
poses. This change will prove very ac-
centable to the school boards through
out the state, as many of them have
been unable to meet current expenses
on the 2 per cent. This latter fact was
due to the very low assessments in tbs
state.
