w, C. HOWE,
Notary Public.
(SEAL)
| attached thereto a certified COD
OF the pretended amended report
which is too lengthy to give here
However, that the taxpayer may hay,
some idea of the information there
In contained, | will copy verbatim
part OF a letter written to Mr
! thompson, in reply to a telephone
message asking me to give him my
idea of the needed corrections etc
Alter commenting on the words o.
! the Attorney Generals office to the
effect that the claw was certainly
clear enough that it could be con
strued by the Board, and it scarce
ly seemed necessary to make II
moro specific,' etc, | said:
First: I will say, read carefully
my demands made on the County Su
perintendent and the laws cited In
connection Herewith, also my affida
Wit accompanying those demands
They cover the whole ground in gen
eral and specifically.
Suggestion No l would be that
the forthcoming report under the
head of Receipts and Cash ON
Hand - should show ALL the moneys
on hand, and from what source re-
celyed-not only the moneys re-
ceived by apportionment, taxes, H.
censes, but ALL moneys from any
source Whatever, and the source. In
this connection, | will state that the
Clerk of the Board read at the last
school meeting a statement to the
effect that they had received $500 90
The forthcoming report should in my
opinion show for what and from
whom this money was re-
ceived, as well as all other money
received by any of the school officers
for school property, or school supplies
sold by them to the pupils or other
parties; show how much of that
money still remains on hand, how
much spent, to whom paid, and for
what paid.
Suggestion No. would be that in
the event the Board has allowed
any of the members of the school
faculty to sell stationery or other
school supplies to any of the pupils
of the school and retain the money
SO received themselves, on the sup
position that such person had bought
and paid for such supplies and there
fore was entitled to the money and
profits arising from such sales, then
and in that event the report of schoo!
supplies should be SO itemized as to
show that none of the supplies SO
sold were the school supplies bought
and paid for by the Districts money.
Suggestion No. 3 would be. that, while
1t is gratifying to know that three
Items appearing under the head of
repairs, done by Mr.. Curtis, amount
ing to $4,000, We're done by him on
the furnace and done AT NIGHT, it
would not be at all out of place to
state what the six items of repairs
lone by Mr. L. L. Spring, amounting
10 $231.00 We're done on, omitting If
wished, whether they We're done at
night or in the daytime, as not being
)f material interest to the taxpayer.
Also it might not be out of place to
mention what the $7046 paid to the
Village of Mountain Home, under
he head of repairs, was for
Suggestion No. 4. Name the Ii
'rarian who got $1,000; name the
substitute teachers and how much
each received. How much of the
'1527.50 as cantor services did
zach receive, and how much in addi-
ion to that amount did they re-
'eceived as fuel, lights, house-room,
tic. Specify Might work at Gym
lasium" of $4,000; what was this
work, who did it, and who got the
money?
Divide the $2O4.OO for exporting
looks, reports and election expenses.
What books were exported, what did
t cost what reports were made,
What did they cost, and who got the
money?
AS the teachers and janitors for
reverse school appear elsewhere in
he report, explain what Reverse
school $367.70' means.
AS Supt. |. B. Warmers salary is
100000 year, itemize the extra
