That Baldwin county’* public
! schools were facing .» grave finanical
frisks, became known last week fol
lowing the monthlv session of the
B< urd of Education, who in a strong
resolution declared that the strictest
economy would have to be prnticed
if :hc school were to continue
through the remainder of the term.
The report of Superintendent Biv
ins showed that the schools gert in
debt to an .amount approximately
$23,000, and th . state aid was an
uncertain proposition. The Board
rtatetl that it was necessary to keep
every expense down in order that the
schools can be kept in operation.
The resolution adopted by the
Board follows:
Whereas; O ving to the fact that
the State of Georgia owes Baldwin
County* Public School System ap
proximately $23,000. which remains
unpaid to date. And
Where*-; It has been necessary to
borrow $21,800 of thi- sum from a
local hank. And
Wherva*; It appears that there
o relief from the State in
future. And
i*: The funds derived from
th*- gasoline lax. county tax, and city
tax amount to k-ss than 30 per cent
of the payroll each month. And
Whereas; It will be necessary to
reduce th.- expenditure of fuade to
th lowe t figure possible, in order
to ke* p the schools in operation.
Therefore; Be is Resolved. That
we urge all school officials, teachers,
patrons, and tax payer, to co-operate
aing expenses down to
