The item of $36,000 for construction and | sites s included quite needlessly. The statute says that board “may” levy for | this purpose, but with $,00,000 bonds voted, all and more than can be used, has already been provided. In the last levy this same item was in- cluded, and the last report of the mecre- tary shows that $34,000 of this year's $35,~ 00 construction and site fund remains. The expenditure estimate also includes an ftem of $110,710 “to apply on deficit.” At the close of 1914 the deficit approxi- mated $25,000, and what it will be at the close of this year Is uncertaln. The secretary's report on December 81, 1814, showed tax collections of $653,652 for the year. Fur the fiscal yéar ending June 80, 1016, the total school tax oollections, acs cording to the treasurer, was §7447, and back year taxes are available against the deficit as collected in. An examination of the laws shows that the school board is a law unto itself in raising and spending money. “Thelr limit is the sky,” remarked a county of- ticlal. The city commissioners are lim- ited to 8 per cent of the levy and the county commissioners to 8§ per cent of Vacation Luggage For Summer Tours—8hort Journeys—Week End Trips— no lugsage could be more de- sirable than our Buit Cases of Fibre, Matting, or Ci Light in weight (easy to carry) dur- able (won't souft very easily), nicely finished inside and out, and very reasonably priced.
