little difference now of course how tho floating debt of t l1eto his schools came about but It puts us t to begin 1thln a Httlo moro sym pathetic attitude toward tlio present trustees when wo understand that they had nothing to do with Incur ring it that they are mon of the 1 very highest business quaBfloat mss who consented to give their Umo at the urgent request of distressed C ill zees to the school problem nnd that In addition to restoring harmony I they actualy ma mi cod with theIr 98meagre revenues to pay off part of tie existing debts during the year Just ended Knowing the character of men composing the board wo f eel 1 B3more like entrusting money retie n and more like wtpJng clean tlio slate and giving them a clianco to Improve the schools at least to the full e X

the city to be sure and a 5and cent levy out of this general tax levy Is apportioned to it by state law so the city government nuturaM I y 0fteJs no drect responsibility for ta0who HoveAcltoos However brushing all d I hsthese artificial distinctions erected by fiction of the law the same tax payers who support the city govcrn raent support the schools and that yannual Interest on tho floating debt

effective by saving tho Income of tho school for the purpose for which it was In tendedi the current expanses of op eratK > n eoratnWhen When men of the character of dthOse composing the school board aro wimng to give their time and nstaloots to the public that is the onUmo when tho pubHc sliould be most liberal toward the schools as giured that the money will be prop priy spent For that reason

out d that way will be Immediately de Iemanded but with the new property d assessment next year and the added real estate wealth these affairs will L not greatly bother our school trus tee If the floating debt IE out of the b Wa3r eeThese Is Involved owing to tho B artificial distinctions between tho city school board a legal question i 1 owhlcb we wMI not pretend to paras ra upon That Is whether the city fi e legal right to transfer funds to ai the school trustees but with all ot r to agreeing as to the moral pocUtude the transaction a way around tho technicality can be found by lawyers n accustomed to guide parties through such labrynths 0 RESOLVED v 1 As a bit of satire containing some wholesome truths and a clever way for the state legislature to side stop responsibility

demand for d remedial legislation and reciting the m fact that county boards of cquallza W tlon do not assess county w att fair valuation Is worthy ot presor at vatlon but to be of value to the t1
