is larger than other schools because
of transportation and high school
tuition aid. Transportation aid for
the year to the local school totals
approximately $500 and the high
school tuition aid about $500 per
year. State aid derived from the
income tax is a separate aid, and
when bonded Indebtedness exists
must be used for that purpose,
otherwise it may be used for main
tenance, said Supt. w. A. Kohl,
Monday.
State aid is derived from the
following regular tax sources:
1st-Endowment fund, which
consists of income from perma-
nent school fund.
2nd-Current school fund,
which is made up of the one
mill state tax.

Loss Had In

A loss to the 1910 tobacco crop as
the result OF frost and Sub-Ircczlng
lvluycru,urcS several weeks ago
amounted to an estimated S5,OOO,OUU
in Norfolk county, Ontario according
to newspaper clippings just received
here. Norfolk county Is one OF the
principal tobacco producing counties
m the DOMINION leaf belt. The clip
pings to the Daily Dispatch were sent
by 5. A. Burroughs from Vanessa,
Ontario.
The clipping received here was OF
an item from SnncOc IN The 81 and
furu ENyUSIlUr, an Ontario neWSpa-
per. ii SAID ID percent OF the Nor
lolk county crop had been damaged
and IS percent OF 1t is 4 total loss.
The estimate quoted j. *. Perrett,
secretary OF the Ontario tIue-CurGu
TOBACCO Marketing Board. He eStl-
mated that IN Norfolk, MlddleSCN,
SCUM OXFORD and Dranl counties the
loss would amount TO approximately

to their homes in the States, many
of them from Vance and Granville
counties in this immediate section.
II WAS explained that there was no

better than were possible before. 1t
