SCHOOL MAY NOW DRAW
ON DEFICIENCY FUND
State Able For First Time Since
1905 TO Pay All Legitimate
Claims.
News-Timcs Special Service:


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Mar. -
For the first time since 1908. when
the law which provides for dIstri-
button of what is known as the De
hciency school fund" went into eff
feet, the state this year has sufi-
cient funds 10 pay all legitimate
claims against the fund. Distribu-
ton of the money is now being made
from the office of state Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction Charles
A. Greathouse.
The report on the fund. compiled
by +. b. Sarber, deputy state super
intendent of public instruction,
shows that 145 school corporations
applied to the state for assistance,
the aggregate of the claims being
S15S,255.02. The number of school
corporations granted aid was 14O. as
five Of those applying. MT Sarber
says. were not entitled TO aid. The
successful applicants for the fund
are located in 26 counties.
The total amount Of money avail
able for distribution was $153,5SO.65
and the claims allowed. after those
of the five not entitled TO assistance
had been deducted, totalled S149,-
1892, leaving a balance in the
fund of S4,42723.
The deficiency fund is derived by
taking from the school tax levy OF
1876 cents on the 500. % percent.
1t is 10 he used each year in aiding
school corporations TO continue
their school terms for six and seven
months. Before any corporation
may receive aid for a six months
term, it must have a local tuition
fund levy Of % cents on the 500
and before assistance is given for
seven months terms, the local tut
ton fund levy must be 40 cents.
In past years, because of lack Of
money, the full amount of claims OF
school corporations have not been
paid although the larger part OF
them has been met.
