STATE SCHOOL TAX

A warrant for 1859, ,569S3, which is 80

moneys from Albert r. Meredith, the
superintendent of the public schools of
Essex county
The State collected this money last
year, and the officers of the Newark
Board of EDUCATION had expected to
get the money two weeks ago. Secre
tary Robert D. Argue wrote repeatedly,
by direction of the board to the county
superintendent, the State Board of
Education and the State treasurer ask
ing when Newark would get the ap-
portionment Of the money, for if the
money was not received before next
month the salaries of principals, teach
ers, janitors and officers of the board
for last month could not have been
paid.
THE $569,569.33 has nothing to do with
our share of money the State collected
from the tax on railroads in 1907" said
Mr.. Argue this morning. "Newark's
share of that is $S73 6433S, and we
should have had the money last No
