Handed Down Decision-Judge
Mccoy has handed down a decision
to the effect that the saloons are
voted ont in Webster. 1t seems that
at the last election no-license carried
by one majority. Local attorneys
started mandamus proceedings to
compel a recount but In the recount
another vote for license was dug up.
1t also seems that IN one of the wards
of the city the ballots were not
stamped with the official stamp and
had they gone after that ward in
S tead of the whole city, it is possible
that the license men would have won
out.
School Fumds-C Commissioner Bach
Of the state land department has
just made the June semi annual
apportionment of the income from
the state school fund, which goes
directly to the schools of the state
The total amount sent out was
1923, 612, which is twenty thousand
dollars greater than the amount sent
out in June last pear. This gives to
each pupil Of the state 1924, which
goes to the reduction of general TAXA
/ ton in the expenses of the schools.
| The amount due to the different
counties has been sent out with the
exception Of that to Bon Homme,
Brule and Day, for which counties
the auditors nave failed to get in
| their proper reports, and the REMIT
tances are being held up. Minnehahd
county receives the largest amount
$40, S99.35, and Buffalo the smallest
S552.24. Roberts gets O.O97. 10
This apportionment was made on the
school census of last year and shows
an Increase of $500 school population
over the previous year. The census
Of this year will be used as an
apportionment basis for the next
year, and will show large increase
in school population in the newer
counties Of the state.

problem by providing special cars or
car lines f&r the children free. Besides,
as the children would be going to
school in the morning and returning in
the evening, they would miss the
crowds going to and from business.
