On July /, 1921 the Tensas parish

outstanding bills amounting to ST.
O59.04.
School District No. 1. e mills
special taxi lacked sufficient funds
to pay off its Indebtedness to the
amount Of $5,032.02 which was paid
out Of the general fund. part Of
this will however be refunded from
some taxes which win come in later
and when the old High School
Buildings at Newellton are sold.
We have q cash balance in Bank
Of St. Joseph July 1, 1929 of
$1,960.96. These amounts viii make
a total Of $20,352.02. Our outstand-
ing bills now amount to $620.10.
Our revenues have been increased
from 2 mills to mills, which, ac-
cording to our budget adopted last
year, was IN increase Of approx
mately 100000.
The above figures and statements
show that with the support and CO.
operation Of Gall interested) teach
ers and patrons, we have been able
to save approximately 100000 on
the basis Of the old two mills reve-
nue..
This does not mean, however,
that the School Board is "flushcd."
Our revenues will be decreased and
our expenditures increased for the
coming session.
The decrease in school revenues
will be brought about by: postpone
ment in the payment Of taxes in
overlooked districts; the general as
sessment reduction expected in State
and Parish, and from the new edu.
cable fschool) census which we have
to take this session. 1--WE believe
that there are fewer negro children
in the Parish than there were fou,
years ago).
Our expenses win be increased be.
cause Of the Assistant Principal
which has been put into each school
small increase in salaries, due te
more years Of experience, and many
needs in repairs, furniture, furnish

pose Of getting out Of debt.
