I am asked quite often, either by personal inquiry or by letter, when tho next apportionment of school money , will be made. I cannot say just when it shall he made, hut it will be soon after the Sheriff makes the Spring turnover. This will be made about the middle of this month. Then the apportion ment will be about the twentieth or a little after. As to how much money you will receive I cannot say, but you are sure of S.'5(X).U0 from tho county fund this school year. Ask you clerk how much he has received, this school year, subtract that from e;5()0.00 and that will tell you how much you me still to receive. This does not ap ply to school districts No. 1-2-3-12 y-47, for eaclv of these will receive more than Hie SJJOO.CO. It is quite certain th;.t the districts will not get all of the $1500.00 at the spring apportionment, but you will get it, what there is lacking, in October. If the taxes were all paid in now, you would get nil tho money now, but they are not so the districts will have to wait, for a part at least. Section 25 of the school laws for 1901). will oxplain it to you. I shall trust that nil who are in terested will understand. Very truly, R. P. Goin. C. M. Doutt is building an ad dition on his house.
