A BIG PERGIT IN SCHOOL FHND OF THE STATE lexl Legislate Ma^rovide for Money lor Schools SiNCE BULLOCK ADMiNiSTRA TION THE STATE HAS BEEN ONE YEAR BEHIND WITH AP PROPRI*ATIONS. It is altogether probable that the state legislature at Its next session In June will take some 4 action to wards appropriating a sufficient amount, estimated at $1,000,000, to cover the annual di licit in the state school fund created by 'he I'k* LjA3| ?|. >i A under tile mi. mini dl'iiAr-.SWlk’M'lwl.ViM’ydGf T'dfev.- hate treasurer To appartlonment of the payment of school teachers as there are not suf ficient funds lu hand until the spec ial school tax levy 1 collided in the autumn of each year. This lack of funis has existed for the last thltrty-sevcn years. In 1870 when former Governor Bullock was he chief executive of the state, the pxir diem of .the members of the legislature way $9. Tho session of the legislature of 1870 lasted for 154 days and no money was available tor the payment of the legislators ■vili) the exception, oi the school fund. The legislature authorized the treasurer to pay the stale's indebt edness to ttfe legislators, out of the fund. The money was not paid Lack and for thirty-seven yarn's the ap- propriatlon for tne state schools has been one year behind. This has caused the greatest in convenit nee to those dependent up on the funds, but the officials have been powerless to overcome Urn diffi culty, as only an act of the legis lature could change tho state of rsf fairs. Tiiis has never been done and it is thought that considerable Pivß-ure will be brought to bear on the legislature. The state has been able to pay a portion of the seiiool fund before the fall of each year by advancing (he funds secured from the lease ot the slate road, liquor taxes and other fluffs available. The grdjter bulk of the money for chools cannot be paid however, until afteifcsffhe special school tax levy In the fall NEGRO AT EVERETT WANTED TO DO BROWNSVILLE ACT.
