Calamity Of Having to Close
Schools Avoided. Good
Schools Speak Well for
a Town.
Business Mems League Orders
Statements of Ckas. c. David
O Given Out TO the
Public.

For the past few weeks it has
been feared that it would be neces-
sary to close the schools for want
Of funds to continue them, but
happily for the good Of the town
this has been taken care of in such
a way that the schools will con-
tinue at least two more months.
At the meeting OF the Business
Mems League the matter Of our
schools was thoroughly discussed
and Chas. c. Davidson Esq, made
a statement in regard to school
finances, which was ordered by
the League to be given publication,
and his remarks are given in part
as follows:
The necessary arrangements
have been made to run the schools
for at least two months, One Of
the greateet calamities that could
have befallen us at this time would
have been to have closed the
schools as was feared would be
necessary. We could not have
anything happen which would be
more detrimental to the town than
that. Now | wish to correct some
matters Of misunderstanding with
reference to the school fund. The
last Legislature so changed the
law that the money now be uncol-
lected cannot be used until next
year, and the treasurer can not
pay out these taxes and can not
recognize warrants for the schools
this year. The board OF county
commissioners desiring to have
everything regular and correct,
asked that the report of the con-
dition of the school funds of the
Treasurer be examined by some
one qualified to arrive at a correct
knowledge of the same, and the
board selected M. c. Mechem and
myself to audit the Treasurers
Report. Everything was found to
be correct and in proper condition.
The Territorial Auditor audited
this report and found the same to
be regular and in good condition
and to be correct in every partic-
ular. The travelling auditor will
be here again in a few days and
he has been requested to assist
the Treasurer in Strengthening out
a condition which has resulted
from the changing of the districts.
| am perfectly familiar with all
matters and conditions connected
with this, and know that very-
thing is in correct shape"
