he can not pay for any stamps.
You gentlemen have been III the leg

seems to me that it is up to you to do
something to relieve the situation, or

ter, but when no salary is coming it
might be big thiug to some of us.
For the information Of Mr.. Superyis-
or Hill | want to quote a ection Of the
general school law Section 1928
reads: County to furnish certain
things-The county board of commits
sionrrs of each county are authorized
and required (nota "required') to fur
nish the county board Of education of
their county with a comfortable a@d
convenient office and suitabl: office
furniture, and to supply said office
with fuel lights, stationery. postage
(note the word) and such other Incl
dentals as are. necessary to the proper
transaction of the legitimate business
OF the Office" The county superintend-
ent is secretary of the county board,
and is supposed to run the office, and
to keep up with the spo2dence,
and it takes a f2w stamps. Maybe
the county board of commissioners
could buy the stamps even if they have
no money. | don't know about that:
But they say they will not. The former
supervisor said if would buy stamped
envelopes from the governme't he
world pay for than. and he did. |
don't know how. Refore ordering this
time | enquired if | should go ahead
and order through the government.
Mr.. Hill said I could, but he had no
money to ray the bill. 1t will do no
eood to order unless I can pay. What
must be do.e? Please answer. Why
not put the county on a cash basis,
;anyhow? 1t is bad enough for the peo-
pie to have to run on a credit The
courtv shoul1 nov cash. 1t would be
eronomv. Rrt how about some stamps
to write a few letters?
