To the Honorable Board of S:hoo' ''omMis
siOners:
beg leave to submit the following re-
port of the finances of the School Board
for the year ending August l, 1908.
It will be noted that in addition to the
ordinary expenses of the white schools
the cost of two new school houses had to
be paid out of the general fund for sup
port of schools. One of these was the
house at Magruder's Station in Kent dis.
trict which was burned in the spring of
1902, and the other was the new school
house recently erected in Piscataway dis
trict. The insurance on the school in
Kent district was accounted for in last
years report and the only money avail
able for building the new school in Pts
Getaway was 500 received from the sale
of the old school house and lot.
The note with interest due the Lebrandt,
Mcdowell Stove Company, amounting to
1853 90, has also been paid.
A large sum was expended in repairs,
and the cost of wood stoves added con-
siderable amount to the outlay for new
furniture.
In order to meet the demands upon the
treasury the sum of $1,000 was borrowed
from the Citizens National Bank of Lau.
rel, of which amount the sum of $4,000
has been repaid, leaving balance now
due on last years operations of So, 500.
The sale of the lot and building in Lau
rel, formerly used for School No. 1, will
place at the disposal of the Board 81 500
or $4,000.
The County Commissioners levied last
spring 81. 900 more than they did the pre-
vious year, and think with economy it
will be possible to run the schools next
year without mourning any additional
debt whatever.
One fifth of the Bonds issued to build
the Laurel High School, amounting to
81 900, were paid and cancelled when they
became due in May last. No more will
be due for 5 years.
In consequence of a decision of the
Court of Appeals the amount appOrtioned
by the Comptroller for colored schools in
this county was 1,7O5. 66 less than it was
the previous year, while the cost of run
ming the increased number of schools was
e441.61 more than the previous year.
This made it necessary to borrow from
The First National Bank of Southern
Maryland an amount sufficient to meet
his deficiency.
The next Legislature will, doubtless,
Jake some action to remedy the injustice
Of the present distribution of the fund for
,olored schools in the State, and it may
be possible, as it is desirable, to continue
he excellent educational facilities afford
I'd the colored people in this county.
Very respectfully,
FREDERICK SASSCER,
Secretary. Treasurer and Examiner.
