see that the same provisions apply to
the levy for the building fund Of
boards az education. You will note
also. that the maximum levy for the
teachers fund is so cents, unless q
greater amount than can be so raised
is necessary to carry on the schools
of the district for five months at the
minimum salary for teachers holding
No. certificates, in which event the
board may not exceed rs cents addition.
al. As to the levy for building fund, 1t is
said that the law provides that in
case 1t is necessary to erect new
school building in any year or to finish
paying for any such building already
erected. the levy may be mace any
amount necessary. not exceeding 40
cents on the $4,000 for the valuation.
And in this connection 1t is to be said
further that boards of education have
no right under the law 10 enter into
any contract to build a new school
house, or for any other purpose which
cannot be paid for out of the ievies
of the year. They are prohibited
under the Constitution from making
debts.
AS to the county levies I want to
say further that understand the law
to mean that the amount raised in
any magisterial district Of the county
for county purposes, including district
road purposes and all other purposes
for which the county court may levy,
cannot exceed In that district the
maximum amount named in chapter
As.
This department is now getting in.
formation which will show any viola
ton Of the laws referred to, but it Is
anxious to avoid any unnecessary
trouble. And therefore you are earn
esty requested to cooperate with us
in seeing that these laws are observ-
ed strictly. Therefore, If any such
illegal leyies have been made by your
county court, or any board of educa.
ton or municipal corporation, trust
you will have the Illegal levy cor.
rected at once. Every officer voting
to make any such illegal levy vio-
lates the law and makes himself liza
BILE to punishment on indictment. I
respectfully request that you will in.

Yours very truly.
