It was a fortunate circumstance
that a law <-nactrd by our last legis­
lature made the action taken at the
budget school meeting in December
illegal, by not slating the amount of
money required in dollars and cents
instead of an many mills to be added
to the general county levy. It will,
also, lie remembered that the entire
school Ixtard tendered its resignation
to take effect on the date of the
recent meeting. January 5.
When the meeting was called to
order, it was decided bv County
School Superintendent Cummings
that the financial feature should be
taken care of first, then the resigna­
tion of the school board would
considered.
This was not pleasing to some of
the patrons present, who referFd to
the matter aa "placing the cart be­
fore the horse." Hut in this matter
the superintendent seemed to be
authority and the financial feature
was taken up.
