SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCES.
The First Semi-Annual Appor-
tionment OF School Moneys

During the past week or ten days, we
have received several complaints and
inquiries concerning the omission Of the
detailed statement of the finances of the
various school districts in the county
from the Joint quarterly statement of
County Auditor and Treasurer as pub
lished by us two weeks ago. In explain
alton, we would say that the NEWS is
in no wise TO blame for the omission, In
fact, We used every effort to persuade
the Commissioners that the people from
long custom had become dependent up
on the NEWS for their knowledge of the
expenditures and balances in the funds
Of the various districts. On grounds Of
economy hawever, the Commissioners
ordered that that part of the statement
be discontinued, which was done in the
last published statement. The wisdom
OF this action we believe TO be open to
question, but that is matter for the
tax payers to decide.
As it Is now too late for the County
officials to reconsider the matter for
last quarter, for the benefit Of our in
quirers and others who have not ready
access to the County records, we have
compiled aud print without compen-
sation-a complete statement Of the con-
dition of each district fund up to date,
including the new apportionment just
made by County Supt. Treece.
