DECREASE IN SCHOOL
FUND PUZZLES BOARD
When Mayor Kelly Was
Treasurer Schools Got
More Money than Now.

DID mayor c. Z. Kelly when he was
county auditor and treasurer three
money, or has the county since the
mayor vacated the office paid the
schools too little? That is the ques-
ton the members OF the school board
state has excited their curiosity, and
they would like TO be informed on the
point. In this connection they state
that they sent T. G. MaSQuellette, OF
the auditing firm of Robinson & Mas
quellette. who recently completed an
audit CT the school books, to inquire
into the cause for the discrepancy
which il was stated existed between
the payments made to the schools by
mayor Kelly when he was auditor, and
the county when the mayor left the
office.
1t was also stated that the curiosity
in this instance did not amount to
criticism of anyone, but that the school
board simply wanted it explained, as
they could not understand It.
Under the administr ation Of mayor
c. E. Kelly" said F. z. Sawyer, aud
itor and purchasing agent of the
schools, the schools share amounted
to approximately $1,000 per year. The
first year after he vacated the office
the schools received S2702 and the
second year, S3003-70
This reduction" continued Mr.. Saw
yer, naturally excited the inquiry OF
the board. The question is: Did Mr.
Kelly pay US too much, or Is the county
paying US what is coming to us2
The school board was told by the
depository that this amount was the
pro rata share Of all the money the de-
DOSitOry had received What the board
cannot understand is why this amount
should be reduced to so great an ex-
tent. As we understand il the perma-
nent school fund remains intact; no
one can expend money from that fund.
Therefore, if the principal of the in
vestments from which the income is
derived is returned to the permanent
fund. the funds must necessarily be
invested. and such being the case the
income from this fund would not vary
materially from year to year.
The board naturally considers that
the reinvestuent of these funds at
some rate Of interest would be a hard
matter. but some amount of income
is derived from all funds each year
The matter OF reducing the income
nearly one-half one year is what the
board desired Mr.. Masquellette to in
quire into"
