Washington c. II.
May Use Script
Record Republican States That
Plan of Using Paper Ex-
change Is Being Consid-
cred in That City

According to the Washington c. II.
Record Republican script may be used
by the city of Washington G. H. to
relieve some Of its financial difficult
ties in municipal expense,
While nothing definite has been de-
cided regarding this move, it is re-
ported on reliable authority, that city
authorities are planning for meeting
with local business men at an early
date to discuss the situation before
making complete arrangements.
The issuing Of script to pay salaries
of city employees and probably some
other expenses has been tried in a
number of other Ohio cities with vary
ing success. Where plans have been
carefully worked out and only a small
amount of script has been issued, it is
reported to have been satisfactory.
The plan generally used, and which
may be suggested in Washington c. II.
consists Of the city issuing an amount
of script covering the city's expense
for salaries and perhaps other items
over a certain period of time. This
script is issued in small denominations
and city employees use it the same as
money among local merchants. A mer-
chant who receives a piece Of script
for one dollar must place special
two cent stamp upon it before passing
it to some one else who places another
stamp upon it and the process goes on
until stamps equalling the amount of
the piece of script are placed on it
when it is redeemed by the city at
face value. The special stamps for
the purpose are obtained from some
depository named by the city, probably
in the bank.
The effect of the script issue is an
indirect tax upon merchants who re-
ceive the script but practically assures
the expenditure of this money which
the script represents among local bus
mess people.
The matter may come before council
at its next meeting early in March.

Seeks to Gust
Examining Board
Senator Matthews of This Dis
trict, Proposed to Eliminate
County and City Teach
er Examining Boards

Senator James NJ. Matthews, Jr.,
OF Enon, native of Madison county,
representing the Eleventh Twelfth
District, comprising Darke, Miami,
Shelby, Champaign, Clark and Madi-
son counties, is preparing measure
to be presented in the Ohio senate
to abolish county and city teacher
examining boards, and hereafter have
all teachers certificates issued
through the state educational depart
ment.
1t is contended by the Clark coun-
ty solon that his bill would save the
counties and cities Of the state at
least $4,000 year. He points out
that generally the small number of
applicants for certificates does not
Justify the maintenance of local
boards, the individual members being
paid $50 year for four examina-
tions.
He calls attention to the fact also
Ni4oe NoNaisJ VI I1Iy CtILlllEdLGS re-
strict their holders to teaching in the
territory covered by the authority of
the examining board, whereas certif-
icates issued through the state de-
partment would make the holders ell
igible for teaching positions any
where in Ohio.
Through the state department of
it is learned that appli-
cants for local teachers certificates
pay fee Of so cents and that there
have been instances where the grant
ng of one certificate has cost the
taxpayers as much as $50.
The state department favors the
measure proposed by Senator Mat
.hews, it is stated.
