This will be tha last payment on $3,500,000 borrowed by Gover= nor Hardman for the common schools during the early part of 1931. All of the other notes were paid when due and some payments were made before the time of ma t,urity by the governor in order to save the state interest. Under the law money borrowed for school purposes must be paid out of tax collections for the year in which the borrowed money was used. The limit was borrowed by Governor Hardman. After the $1,000,000 is paid the governor may then make loans for such additional sums, up to $3,- 500,000, that he finds necessary to continue opemtions of the schoois. Dr. M. L. Duggan, state superia tendent of schools, nas said that it would be necessarv for Gover nor Russel! to borrow funds al most immediately after the pay ment of the last note.
