Therefore, no appropriation
was made for state office build
ings.
The need for public school
classroom facilities was felt to
be more immediate and more
urgent than that of state univer-
sites. However, the use of
state bond money for public
schools requires that the State
Board of Education submit de-
tailed recommendations as to
how, when and where the money
will be used The state Board
has been in exiStance less than
three weeks; preparation of
sound plans for the equitable
and economical use of state
bond money for public schools
will require months of effort by
the Board. Therefore, to make
money Immediately available
for the public schools on a ba-
sis similar to that use d
for the three million dollars ap-
propriated in the regular seS-
sion last year, the Legislature
drew on the surplus which has
built up in the general funds ol
the state, and made a direct ap,
preparation of seven million dol,
lars from current extra revenue
for immediate use of public
schools In addition, a special
appreciation was given to the
State Board of Education fol
the thorough analysis needed
to prepare program thai
makes sure the bond money av,
ailable to the public schools ir
the next four years will &C
where it is most needed anc
be spent most wisely and &c
onomically.
Finally. an appropriation Of
ten million dollars was made
from the state bond money tc
be available for the public
schools in 1857, subject to af
firmation by the next regular
session of the Legislature. A
that time there will be avail
able a total of fifteen million dol
lars for public schools, state un
iverSitieS and state office build
ingS. 1t was ten million of this
fifteen million dollars that was
appropriated for use by the pub
lie schools in 1857, after the
State Board has had time tc
develop complete program fol
ALLEGATION and distribution O.
state bond money. If this ter
million dollar appropriation t.
public schools is affirmed by thu
next Legislature, which seem!
altogether likely, the public
schools will receive seventeen
million dollars for the two year!
of 1856 and 1857.
The fifteen million dollars O
state bond issue money avail
able this year for a three way
split between public schools
state universities and state of
flee buildings was appropriated
for state universities because
as previously explained, tht
state board of education coulc
not be expected to prepare
plans in time for using bond is
sue money this year. The ap
preparation to the six state
supported universities was al
located among them on a ba
sis mutually agreed upon BY
the universities themselves.
Il supported the above pro
gram and the favorable actor

ton said, because it seems tt
me to be a logical, fair anc

funds for the Improvement il

Of the mentally i'll, for relic
of pressing problems in the pub
lie schools and for needed fac

This is I believe, what tn.
people of Geauga County want
ed when they voted strong sup
port of the bond issue last Nov
ember."
Except in the unlikely even
that the Governor calls a spe
cial session OF the Legislature
for some purpose, the one jus
held marks the end of the meet
ings of the full membership O.
the present Legislature. Mem
bers will be meeting frequently
on many committees during the
rest of this year making inves
LEGATIONS holding hearings and
preparing legislation for the
