troops discovered one of the enemy
hiding in the branches OF a tree. They

COUNTY BUDGET
SYSTEM WANTED

The state tax commission is endeaV
uring to establish some system in the
business of securing appropriations ap
3ortiOnments and expenditures for the
public schools. All this has hitherto
>een done by guess work and the
gueSses have always been sufficiently
nigh. The commission has therefor,
prepared forms of a budget which with
the following letter have been sent I,
all county school superintendent
Bear Sir:
Forms for the 1917-191S budget wer,
recently mailed TO all boards OF super
V.sols. This commission, with the co
operation of the various boards an(
their clerks, has been endeavoring t
have published annually complete ant
standardized budget. Snch budget i:
Of great value to all county officials in
making comparisons with other coun-
lies and we deem il only just that the
taxpayers be fully advised as to the
actual cost of conducting all branches
0i oGr county and state government.
The expense for schools is larger than
any other item in the budget and natur-
ally is Of great interest TO the taxpayers
of the various counties. The law pro-
Vides that the estimates of the various
boards of trustees must be submitted
f9 YOU hY July /, While your estimate is
not required to be submitted to the
board Of supervisors before August l.
The board of supervisors must begin
publishing the budget about July 20, S,
that in order to include the schools eX-
Penditures in such published budget it
would be necessary for the county
school superintendents to submit their
estimates to the board of supervisors
about ten days before August l. This
would still leave your office about 90
days in which to make up your esti-
mate. which would appear to be ample
for this purpose. provided you insist
Tat the local boards of trustees sub
NIT their estimates to you by July l,
the date specified IN the statutes.
The commission solicits your CO.
onera ion in this matter to the extent
Of furnishing your estimate to the
board of supervisors in time for same
To be included in the budget when pub
