cuss some means of taking care of
the vouchers.
The same situation, Mr.. Jones add
ed, comes up during the payment of
the second installment of taxes in the
spring OF each year. AS at the be-
ginning of the school year, the dis
trict funds are depleted before tax
collections have been completed and
the vouchers are again turned
down by the treasurer. Under an
act passed by the last legislature and
upheld by Judge Lyman in a recent
friendly suit filed against Mr. Jones
by the trustees of school district No.
l, the Phoenix grade schools, the
county school superintendent must
issue warrants for salaries when the
school funds have become exhausted
and these warrants when registered
with the county treasurer will bear
from 6 to per cent interest.
There are 50 grade school districts
and seven high school districts in
the county which will be affected by
the present condition. 1t is hoped.
MIR. Jones said, that some plan may
be formulated at the meeting next
Saturday to take care of the matter
at present so that no hardships may
be incurred by the teachers and other
employees of the schools because of
inability to cash their vouchers. Mr..
Jones also hopes to be able to work
out some plan for the future whereby
the school districts will be able to
start each school year with a suffi-
cient amount of money to take care
of all expenditures until the taxes
are collected

CALLS MEETING To
TAKE Up PLANS on
SCHOOL FINANCES

Plans to finance the county's
schools until money received from
taxes can be apportioned will be
taken up at a meeting of all district
boards of trustees and district clerks
at 1870 o'clock next Saturday after
noon. The meeting, which probably
viii be held in the school administra-
ton building, has been called by A
L. Jones, county school superintend-
ent, who will send out formal notices
today.
The meeting has been called, Mr.
Jones said TO formulate a plan to
care for the school finances until
such time as the money collected by
taxes for the school fund has been
apportioned by Vernon S. Wright,
county treasurer. The schools funds,
under the method by which they are
raised, are six months behind eX-
penditures and are always depleted
before the tax money has been col
lected to replete them, Mr.. Jones
said
Each year the trustees of the
schools make a budget for the esti-
mated expenditures of the coming
school year which is turned over to
the board of supervisors and added
TO the county budget. The rate of
taxation then is made in August and
the taxes placed on the rolls. The
taxes become due the first Tuesday
IN September and become delinquent
early in November. Before the school
funds can be turned over to each
district the county treasurer must
check over the tax records to see
what amount are delinquent and in
what districts. This takes some time,
and 1t is generally the middle of De
cember before the amounts due the
school funds from the tax collections
are placed in them.
Meanwhile the schools in all dis
tricts in the county open about the
middle of September with a small
amount of money in each district
fund which has been left over from
the preceding school year. Often be
fore the first month salary vouchers
for the teachers and other employees
| of the district have been cashed by
the county treasurer, the fund OF
each district is depleted and the
warrants are refused because under
the state law the county treasurer
cannot transfer moneys from one
fund to another.
Each year the same situation
arises, MI Jones said. but IN the past
| it has not become acute because the
| banks were always willing to take
| the vouchers and wait until the
| funds were repleted from the taxes
| This year, he said, the banks, because
| OF their heavy loans. have refused
| to cash the salary warrants and car
ry them until the treasurer is in 2
position to redeem them. The meet
ing, he said, has been called to dis

when he receives proper salary vouch-
ars from school board, to issue his
warrants on the county treasurer re-
CARELESS OF the fact that there are
no funds in the treasury with which
to nav the Warraut-and also to es-
tab1ish the fact that the warrants so
drawn shall bear interest at not TO
exceed s per cent. The suit was, III
fact. for the benefit of school dis
tricts throughout the state. inasmuch
as most county treasures just now
are low in school funds. Through
ARRANGEMENTS between the local
board and the banks of Phoenix,
salary vouchers in former years were
readily cashed by the banks at par,
regardless of the legal question Of
interest: and the banks were always
kind enough to hold tn vouchers UNI
til cash taxes showed up in the treas
ury. But this year the banks did
not feel like guaranteeing to the
school board that they would prompt :
Iy accept all salary vouchers; and
it was necessary to have the court
decision in order that the efforts Of
the board to borrow money else
where might be successful.
The teachers were gratified Satur-
day to learn that Sims Ely, president
of the board, and J. D. Lopez, sup
erfntendent, had returned from Los
Angeles with the information that
satisfactory arrangements had beer
made for funds with which TO meet
salary vouchers, not only for the
past month, but for the next month
also. After that, it is presumed, the
county treasury will be in funds.

the money" said Mr.. Ely yesterday

He put us in touch with the Officers
of the main institution over in the

uation which confronted us; that ouI
salary payroll amounts to approxll
matelv $4,000 a month; that we could
not tolerate the thought of our teach-
ers having to do with 0ut the money
due them. or their having to deal with
money lenders on discount hasls
ana that we wanted 100000 set aside
for our use. The business was quick
" finished We were assured tina

bank not only has large investment:
in this valley, but is greatly pleased
with them, and always stands reau'
to cooperate in all proper ways 10

MYSTERIOUS NOISE.
IN JUSTICE COURT
IS TRACED To BEES

For several months Justice Henry
J. Sullivan Of the East Phoenix pre-
cinct has been disturbed While oc-
cupying the bench in his court room
a II East Monroe street by an in
cessant buzzing- At times the noise
would increase in volume until it re-
sembled an electric motor driven at
full speed on the floor above. Then
the noise would subside to a faint
hum, only to increase in volume
again.
AS his honor expressed it. the noise
''got his goat" and he started a tour
of inspection. The solution, how
ever, was found by the janitor while
washing court room windows. Strange
streaks frequently appeared on the
glass which proved to be honey. This
determined, he hunted for the source
and found it when in locking up the
wall Of the building he discovered q
swarm of bees passing in and out
through a hole where a waste water
pipe entered the building.
In putting the waste pipe. a two
inch soil pipe, in the building, the
plumber made a square hole in the
brick wall. An enterpriSing colony
of bees looking for a home, discOv-
cred the hole and upon investigation,
found that the hollow place between
the ceiling of the court room and
the floor above made an ideal home,
so without consulting the owner of
the building, they took possession and
began to fill the place with honey.
The summer heat melted the honey
and as it dripped it ran down over
the janitor's clean windows to his I'M
explainabIe annoyance. The buZZing
of the bees was likewise familiar
and mysterious sound in the court
room. The entrance to the unique
beehive is in the alley back of the
court room in the Central block.
which formerly was the postoffice
| building.
