that it was as dark as Egypt after nine

creek was widened and dredged, making it

predominating. The residents took such

Local APPROXIMATION Of School Money.


The school law of 1900 makes radical
change in the method of appropriatlng
money to be raised by local tax for the
support of public schools, abolishing en-
tirely the old method of voting the appro-
priation at the public school meeting and
giving it over to Board of School Estl-
mate, - composed of two members OF the
Board of Education, selected by the Board,
the Mayor and two members Of City Coun-
ell, selected by Council.
The law requires, Sec. 70, ''that on or
before the 18th day of April, in each year
the Board of Education shall prepare and
deliver to each member Of the Board OF
School Estimate, an itimized statement OF
the amount of money estimated to be neces-
sary for the current expenses for the ensu-
ing year, also the amount which shall have
been apportioned to such district by the
County Superintendent.
Section so provides that before the first
day of May the Board of Estimate must
determine the amount of money necessary
to be appropriated for the use of the public
schools during the ensuing year; the amount
fixed by the Board of School Estimate i
then certified to Common Council which
shall appropriate the money in the SAME
manner as other appropriations are made
and the amount shall be assessed, levied
and collected as other moneys are assessed
