Order authorizing the transfer or
bonds:
This 2Sth day Of September. 1915.
there came on to be considered, the
question of "a proper division Of the
Permanent School fund Of FL PasO
county, Texas, making an equitable ap-
portiOnment Of said permanent school
fund to Culberson county by reason Of
the fact that the said Permanent School
fund was given by the state of Texas,
to the territory now comprising both
counties OF FL PasO and CulbersOn, and
for the further reason that a certain
portion Of the county Of FL PasO has
been created into what is now known
as Culberson county: but no portion OF
the said Permanent School fund has
as yet geen given TO Culberson county
by Ell Paso county The following facts
have been made to appear to the court:
At the time the division vas made
Of FL Paso county in April 1911, il
was intended to segregate the Iiabili-
ties Of such a portion Of FL Paso county
as later become CulberSon county; and,
Whereas. Certain bonds. being liabili-
ties OF FL Paso county were assumed
by CulbersOn county. il now develops
that the Permanent School fund Of FL
PasO county, which consists of certain
vendor lien notes, bonds and unsold
school lands, still remains as the prop
erty OF FL Paso county. no division hav-
ing been made of the above fund to
Culberson county, which division should
have been made by reason Of such sep
aration. It further appears to the court
that a fair and equitable portion Of
such Permanent School fund be placed
at ten thousand Cs1O.OOO.OO) dollars
It has been made to appear that the
most advisable way for this amount
10 be given CulbersOn county is in the
form Of bonds in the amount Of ten
thousand (S10,O0O.OO) dollars, which
bonds now form a part of the invest
ment Of such Permanent School fund

Walling and duly seconded by COM
