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 '-Presi ] will h f | the ni the minium Adopted by the Baldwin County Board of Education.
