AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Financial Problem Just Now Worry
ing Board Of Education.
CASH FOR DECEMBER PAYROLL
After that Indications Are Warrants
Must he Registered Until Heavy
Tax Payments in the
Spring..

the Board OF Education Will graphic AT
the regular meeting Monday evening will
be the finances. The latest report Of the
city treasurer shows that there is little
more than 1880 in the treasury for school
purposes. To this will be added about
5000 from the state apportionment. This
addition will mako It possible to pay most
Of the school warrants for the month OF
December. This Is a short month and will
not be a heavy drain. The warrants will
probably have to be registered after the
first of tho year until April. The corpora
lions seldom pay their county tax until
about that time. so little money viii be
coming in before that date. Most of the
money already expended has been derived
from liquor licenses. This fund has usually
carried the expenses over into the month
of February or about that time, so that
there has been little registering for a
number of years. At the beginning Of the
school year of 1sOs-9, however. a number
OF extra expenditures for improvements
and new buildings. as well as the addition
Of some new teachers and the purchase of
several series of new text books, have
drained the treasury rapidly. 1t is believed
that the board will come out at the end
of the school year about as we'll as usual.
The rapid development Of The city and
the increase of population has required the
erection OF school buildings about as fast
as the funds would permit. 1t is likely that
a new building will be required by the
close of the present year.
