School Fund and Mill Tax for

This Years Apportionment Shows Biz
Gain Over Former Years,
Several Appointments Made by Gov.

The State treasurer has comnIetad
the apportionment of the school fund
and mill tax for the year 1902. the
amount available for that purpose this
year being $5S0,2SO.il, which is an in
crease of s2S,11S.59 over the amount
apportioned in 1901.
The returns to the superintendent
OF public schools show the total mum
Der of scholars in the State to be
2l2,96o, the towns therefore receiving
a fraction over S2.17 for each scholar
The number of scholars reported in
1901 was 211,S34, which gave a frac-
ton over $3.50 per scholar.
The amount apportioned to the sew

scholars in each. is divided as fol-

The increase in the school fund dur
ing the past Is years shows a Won
derful gain. 1t is remembered that
onehalf of the savings bank tax goes
TO the support of common schools, and
this tax has grown so much in recent
years that as Il result the schools of
Maine are receiving more than 50 per
cent. more money from the State than
they did in 1887. In that year the
school fund and mill tax amounted
to $5G2,304.51, or $227,97G.2G less than
this year. Ten years ago the fund
amounted to $4S7,9O3.4S, or $1O2, ,377. %
less than i'm 1902. In 1897 the amount
was $500, ,5S91O, or $S0,691.67 less than
now.
Another reason for the increase is
the fact that since the year 1890 the
valuation of the State has increased
from $2S9.533,99l i'll that year to $336,-
699,G in 1900. Thus the mill tax has
increased from $2S9.533.99 to $336,-
699.6l. a gain Of $47,165.65. The mill
tax this year is assessed upon the val
uation of 1900
