At present announcement has been made, that ten million dollars will be allocated to 100 counties, each county receiving 3100,000 Then 15 million more dollars will be distributed on a basis of the per capita daily attendance record, with the more populous counties certain to reap more benefits of this mm. The' other half of the bond issue, probably will distribute on the bas r* u. Whpre. weJwgL, TBpnt up a good case,” Promt said.
