Waraant Sales Discussed
At Meeting Wednesday
A group of men interested in the
schools of the county met at the Moro
hotel Wednesday night to consider
several proposals for facilitating the
cashing of school warrants in the
hands of teachers
it seems that districts with a fav-
oaable financial statement may have
its warrnts sold to any bank by its
teachers and the 'Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation will advance the
necessary funds to the bank' This
method of obtaining two-thirds of the
face value of the warrant is more lib
eral than it has been heretofore and
may be used by Sherman county dis
tricts.
It is possible that the teachers of
the county may use their local or
ganization to establish a clearing
house for warrants to aid the sale of
warrants to those wishing to pay
.axes with them. It seems feasible to
handle the warrants locally under, the
new law making tax payments with
warrants possible.
