The state ment savs that budgets of schools all school have been met and that all funds expended have been prop erly expended. The statement is signed by the individual members of the board and by one member of the board whose term expired in December 1946. One other member of the board before the present one was the late Will Graham. An additional statement from the county auditor has been releas ed. Both statements are printed below. The statement is issued, say board members because of mistaken impressions which seem to have gained some circulation in the county.
