As soon as the apportionmcnt is
made. the treasury will begin sending
out to county treasurers the receipts
which they will have TO sign and re-

Years ago IL was the practice to fol-
low ordinary business methods and
send out the cash and then the county
treasurers sent in their receipts II
was discovered that in some instances
the treasurers were very lax about re-
turning the receipts. and as result
the plan was inaugurated of requiring
the receipts first, and as counties
want the money receipts are returned
promptly from every county.
As soon as these are received the
checks are sent out and there is gem
eral interchange of the checks through
the banks before the money is depos-
tied to the credit Of the district treas
urers throughout the state.

gents were sticking by their guns and
were insistent that the traffic agree

senators were Of the opinion that the
senate proceedings today would mark
an epoch in the history of the railroad

peared hopeful of success and indicated
their preference for the regulation of
