other matters of genet a 1 intent4*'.
The constitution of the Ftato
provides that the rate per hun
dred dollars shall not exceed 00
2-3 eenta, except for n?**oettrv
county expenses without a vote
of tli? people, but the Supreme
Court, Mr. Warren sa.vs, has con
strued almost everything to I** a
necessary expense except a sch?x>l
house. The al*?vn rate is distrib
uted as follows:
2'i 2-3 ennts for Stale fnirpt.se*.
4 cents for pensions.
20 cents for pill ?lie schools.
Total. 47 2-3 cents for the

The commissioners levied
