IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE
New Law Provides For Fixing Lump Sum For Com
Quoting District Schools, County Board
Fixes Levy

I On next Monday, April 20, ninety
five school districts of the county
will hold their annual school elections
for the selection OF trustees, and for
the purpose OF making Il "lump sum"
estimate OF the money that will have
to be raised by tax levy for the main-
tenance OF the schools during the en-
suing year. Heretofore each district
has set its own tax levy but this year,
| in accordance with the amendment to
/ the school laws adopted mt the last
session OF the state legislature, the
Ieyies will be fixed by the county COM
missiOners and will he based upon the
estimate made by the trustees in each
district.
Must Submit Expenses.
The county school superintendent
mails to the trustees in each district
printed form with blanks to be filled
out showing exactly what the ex-
penses in each district were during
the past year. The expense account is
itemized showing the exact sums ex-
pended for teachers, books, library,
furniture, fuel and other necessaries.
Following. and based upon, this state
ment is given the trustees estimate
Of the expenses for the coming year
covering the same items. Another
form is filled out by the county su-
perintendent in which her estimate of
the available funds for the coming
year are given.
Commissioners Fix Levy.
The county commissioners in turn
determine the assessed valuation of
the various districts and fix the spe-
cial tax levy at such a figure as will
produce the amount of money which
each district deemed necessary to
meet the years expenses.
Old System Was Bad.
In speaking of the new system of
fixing the special school tax levies
MISS DTyueu Sdlu. DtCduSO Vi,
changes in the laws affecting the as
sessed valuation of property and be-
cause of the fact that special levies
must be made in April, before the as
sessment is completed, it has been
lifficult during the past few years to
make special levies with any degree
If accuracy. In some of our districts
he schools have closed the year with
arge balances on hand while others
lave had to shorten their terms or
)verdraw in order to have the desired
mount of school. Some of the schools
II the county which have finished the
rear at a cost of not more than $1,000
lave had balances on hand of from
;2000 to $4,000. Others in the coun-
y which have set their levies too
ow have had to go into debt in order
o have the minimum term required by
aw. Under the new system, however.
hese difficulties will be easily over
ONE and the levies are certain to be
luch more satisfactory"

THIRD CHAMBER MUSICALE
Public Invited to University Auditor.
ium Tomorrow Afternoon to Hear
Splendid Recital.

The third of the series of chamber
music recitals given by the University
of Idaho string quartet will take place
on Sunday afternoon, April 18th, 1914,
| at o'clock, precisely. Owing to the
absence of Mr.. Hulme, Mr.. B. H. Leh-
man has kindly consented to address
the audience with explanatory re-
marks. The quartette will play the
following program:
Variations from Kaiser Quartette
No. XII Haydn
Gavotte Bazzini
Quartette d minor (Posthumous)
Schubert
The program promises to be most
interesting. Following out the scheme
for having selections in chronological
order, Schubert has been taken as the
representative of the 18th century
quartette music and the quartette will
play one of the most melodious of
quartettes, which will make it's ap-
peal to those even not so well versed
in absolute music. The two excerpts
that begin the program, the first will
find popular recognition in that the
theme upon which the variations have
been composed is now the Austrian ma
tional hymn and also a popular hymn
in some of our churches today The
gavotte of Bazzini is taken from his
A major quarttete and is a dainty
bit of work
1t is hoped that an equally enthus-
iastic audience will be present at |
this last concert of the series as have |
favored the previous concerts.
The quartette contemplates sup /
concert, some time in May,
and the program will consist of con-
temporary composers af Dvorak and
-he Rubinstein Piano Quintette will
be played, the quartette being ably
assisted by Miss Hostetter of the
piano department.
