SHORTAGE OF FUNDS
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
NOT FELT IN WAYNE

Wayne county will not feel the ef
fects of the shortage in the school
funds distributed this year, the total
of which in the state is $4,000 lower
than the amount distributed last year.
The total amount distributed among
the 80 counties of Indiana is $685.
45s70. of this sum Wayne county
will receive $22,791,45 Some counties
will be affected by the shortage, but
school authorities here said Wayne
short of sums received in former
years.
The distribution of funds is based
upon the total number of school chill
dren enumerated in the state which
is 7S4.430. Division of the funds
shows a per capita of 5000 for each
child. The distribution is made semi
annually, in January and in June.
Scaled Levies.
In 1919, when the property valua-
tons of the state were increased
millions of dollars by the state board
of tax commissioners, the board scaled
down all the state levies in order to
raise approximately the same amount
of money as was produced by the old
levies on the old valuations. In the
case of the school levy a reduction
was made from 1876 cents on each
800 of taxables to 50 cents.
1t has developed, school officials de-
clare, that the board scaled the levy
down too low in 1919. In order to
meet the situation, the tax board in
creased the levy to Sc cents for 1920.
Money obtained from this levy will not
be available until 1922, however. and
the June funds will be short this year,
officials say The amount secured last
January from the levy of 13G cents
which was in effect from 1907 to 1919.
was S1.500,3142S. The school tax of
So cents produced s1,434,277.93 this
year.
Efficiency Fund Short.
Officials point out that the state de-
ficiency fund, which is used for state
aid to poor school corporations, will
be short this year both in January
and June. This fund obtained by de-
Quoting So per cent of the funds de-
rived from the state school tax before
the apportionment is made. The de-
ficiency fund last June, when funds
were obtained from the old levies.
was $141 ,209.25. The fund obtained
for deficiency purposes this January is
$117,61019.
