BY D. C. SMYTH.

The statement of the board of ed
ucation which appears in this issue
of the Pioneer, argues generally in
all essentials with my letter of the
9Th inst.
They admit my statement of bal
ance on hand at the beginning of
the school year, also the receipts to
date as I stated them, but seem 10th
to accept my estimate" of receipts
in July at $1,000 Notwithstanding
the fact that one of their members
was advised by the county auditor
that my estimate of 1000 was too
low and that in his opinion their re-
ceipts in July would reach or exceed
|$15,OOO. -
I notice in the paper kindly hand
ed me this morning by Mr.. Richie
that in order to get away with part
of the surplus they propose to charge
the Mill Park school proposition
with $4,000. I ask why is it neces-
sary to do that when it is quite evil
dent that they have no intention of
carrying out that idea.
They advance as another excuse
for carrying a large surplus the large
expenditures for books and supplies
at the beginning of school. I notice
in their report to the comfy auditor
their estimate for school apparatus.
books and furniture for the current
year amounts to $500 which is not
very large sum to provide for.
The statement that the appropria.
ton of $4,000 of current funds for
building purposes would exhaust the
surplus is not borne out by their
own figures.
Many of our heavy tax payers
have told me that they are not in
favor of nor do they think it a wise
business policy to attempt the retire
ment of our entire bonded indebted
ness in the next few years.
Generally the tax payers whom
have come in contact with are in
favor of retiring some of our bono
issues when they come due and pro
vide for others by rebonding the
district, and such action would ma
terially tighten our burdens.
I have other and more exacting
duties than criticising the acts oil
the board of education, and in the
limited time and space at my dis.
posal have only been able to touch
in general way the points presented
by the school board. If they had
given me week (the time they took
to answer my letter. I might have
made out better case from my point
of view.

If we should spend 5000 of the
money in general fund for school
house it would exhaust, if not ex-
coed, our surplus, and it would be-
come necessary to at once increase
our tax levy for the purpose of &C.
cumulating money to retire our bonds
as they mature.
! This surplus has been saved within
the past three years, it is needed to
retire bonds as they mature and to
lessen the burden of taxation of the
people Of today.
We earnestly hope and expect
that the end of this school year will
find the district with as large or a
larger surplus than at the close of
last year. In that case the sinking
fund could be materially decreased.

Editor Bemidji Pioneer:
Replying to the communication in
your paper under date of March 9Th,
1908, signed by D. C. Smyth, in
which he advocates building school
house out of money in our general
school fund, instead of issuing bonds
for that purpose, and inviting the
Board to answer why they think it
necessary to borrow money when
they have a surplus in the treasury,
we submit to the taxpayers of the
district the following statement of
our finances.
At the time of the last annual school
meeting we had in the treasury, in
general fund, observation-disclosures. s17913 50

In addition there are incidental expenses,
| including interest on bonds. which will mater

To this should be added the
amount we will receive from the
county treasurer for Our July settle
ment. Mr.. Smyth estimates" this
amount at $1,000. We earnestly
hope that we will receive that amount
but in view of the fact that our tax
levy this year was $20,45O, and that
we have already received $21,761.45,
we cannot see where we can expect
to receive such large payment.
The only way our receipts exceed
our tax levy is on account of delin-
quent taxes paid during the year and
our apportionment. Ordinarily our
receipts exceed our tax levy by be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Out of the funds on hand July 1st
we must pay our running expenses
until we receive our November pay
ment, and our expenses at the open
ing of school are heavy on account
of purchase of books and supplies.
We will have in the sinking fund
at the end of this year $4,000 with
which to retire bonds.
The bonded indebtedness of the
District is $4,000, and the bonds
fall due as follows:
