which outlines the work of the

lteye you have seen.
as a matter OF fact, the sink.
ing funds are not taken from your

ton. III appreciate that there has
been some feeling to this effect
based on transformation. The re
nort for the period beginning on
3JulyS1 IS, 1921. when the law became
effective. and ending October /

The next greatest saving was

repealed? They perhaps do not
know this, and II any Of them see
this letter in print, It will prob.
ably be the first information they
have had concerning this saving.
Another saving which IS not
known in Our report was made by
working out change In the bond
issue Of Cabell County by which
that county was saved $4,000.
In order that may here answer
q question which Is often asked, |
may state that. the profit which the
commission makes through the in.
vestment OF these sinking funds is
commensurate with the amount OF
sinking fund any particular dis.
itrct has in the whole fund. None
OF the profit from local sinking
funds goes to the state treasury.
