OUR SCHOOL FINANCES
What Il Is Costing to Run The
Schools This Year

1t Will be noticed from the
official call for the election pub
lished in The BLADE today the
board of education is asking for
a levy of 80 cents on each $100
of the assessed valuation of the
district on which to run the
school next year. This levy was
decided on after a budget for
next year had been carefully
prepared, basing the estimates
on the same valuation as this
year.
This year the levy was $1.00
and it produced $5970.00. In
addition to that there was re-
ceived fromthe county treasurer
in October, state aid 5000; back
tax, $65.55, and state, county
and township funds, 81, ,366.81 /;
total, 81, ,632.36. In February of
this year there was received
from the county treasurer, back
tax, railroad, merchants and
corporation tax, 81, ,052.73. 1t is
estimated the tuitions for the
year will amount to $3.50, which
with the $178.G0 on hand at the
beginning of the school year,
July l, 1921, brought the total
revenue for the school year 1921
% to $9,283.O9.
The expenditures for the year
are: Teachers salaries, $685.
90; janitor, $4,000; fuel, $475.0O;
incidentals, such as oiling the
floors, repairing blackboards, re-
placing broken window and door
glasses, cleaning closets and
grounds, chalk, erasers, ETC.,
$4,000, making the running ex-
penses for the year, $7,22O.0O.
A new furnace, which was abb
solutely necessary, was installed
this year at a cost of 81 10000,
making the total expenditures
for the year, $8,420.00, leaving
an estimated balance at the end
of tie school year, $863.00
In cutting the levy from 81 90
to 80 cents cuts the amount re-
ceived from the township collect
or from $5,970.0O, to $4,776.00
and also loses the state aid of
5000, reducing the receipts for
next year 81, $4,000, basing the
valuation on the same as this
year. The only expense this
year that will not have to be
met next year is the furnace
costing 81, 10000, but an ad-
ditional expense of $155.OO to
renew insurance will have to be
met next year. No policies ex-
pired this school year.
In making the estimate for
the levy the board figured the
running expense for next term
to be the same as this term and
that the valuation would not
be distrubted by the board of
The above state
ment is approximately correct
but is based mostly on estimates.

statement will be made in ,

might be supposed that Il was then
first applied to a man Who had come

cases Il was probably originally
Eastmund. East in this case was an
Angio-Saxon personal name with
the meaning Of grace OF kindness.
Mund had the meaning OF hand or
protection. Eastmund then indicat-
