COUNTY AND STATE
LEWES UNTOUCHED
Report That Power to Levy For School
Purposes Had Been Curtailed OFF,
cially Denied.

In order to correct misunder-
standing with reference to legislation
enacted by the legislature, relating to
county and district school levies, the
state department of education has is
sued a statement explaining the mat
ter in full. 1t says:
Some misunderstanding has arisen
concerning House Bill 257. To insure
clear understanding of the effect
of this bill the following statement
is made:
Neither this bill nor any other bill
takes away the power of school dis
tricts to make special levies. The
annual meeting has exactly the same
power in this respect as in the past
two years, namely to levy any amount
up to 10 mills for the support of their
schools.
The bill provides a new and higher
minimum for the county levy, namely,
that the county levy must provide
an amount not less than SIS per child
of school age in the county. The
county commissioners may levy more
than this at their discretion.
A good many counties in the state
have been levying more than this
amount The new law will not affect
these counties in any way.
In other counties the new law will
increase the amount of money raised
by the county school levy. This
should enable practically all school
districts in the county to get along
with a lower special levy. The atten-
ton of school trustees and taxpayers
is called particularly to this point.
The county school fund will be APP
portioned in practically the same way
as before,-forty per cent in proper
ton to the number of teachers and
the remained in proportion to census
with the exception of small amounts
set aside for rural high schools and
very poor districts.
House Bill No. 975 affects only in.
dependent districts. Under this bill
the trustees of independent districts
still keep all the powers which they
have had in the past to make leyies
and in addition they may levy up tC
fifteen mills with the approval of thu
state board of education.
