The original estimate of the cost of the un dertaking was $37,500.00 but, owing to the fact that less rock was found month, and, j than was anticipated, the cost was greatly reduced. y All the streets that have sewerage arc laid with 8 inch pipe, which con neyVs with out-fall lines of 10 and 12 inC!pipe' TheSe IiuCS' W'th the hcavT faHV about 100 feet to the mile, gives a syrm, capable of accommodating a city of 40,000 inhabitants.

There are three of these high schoois in Granville, being situat ed as follows: One each at Knap of Heeds and Stem, and the other near Daniel's Store in Walnut Grove town ship. So much interest is being manifested in this institution and so little is known about it that the Ledger will take the matter up and, in a few weeks,givean account of its beginning and its field of work. At this session, the board made an apportionment of the school funds, which funds are derived from several sources,and,after reserving the amount required by law, it was estimated that the amount to be distributed anions tne scnoois tor the fiscal year from June 1st, 1907, to June .1st, 1908, would be $15,660.00, or $1.85 per capita to the townships. This.however, is but an estimatc,since it is impossible 'he 18 total in 1907,ranincrease $919,- 904 over 1900. . In "addition to fins revenue, the school fund is augmented by $1.50 of the pol tax, the sum of scijjl-j iikjui me cLa.te,au cue town and county fines (estimated to be about The approximate cost of additional I $450)' and one-half of the net profits ext age.

Upon motion of Mr. Baird, the Health Officer and Mr. Chapman were ordered to draw up sanitary regula tions in regard to the proper sewerage connections. The following were appointed trus tees for the firemen relief funds; Messrs. J. T. Pruitt, M. A. King,' (designated by the fire company), W. H. Hunt and Z. W. Lyon, who were appointed by the Mayor upon order of the board. There is yet another member to be selected, which selec tion must be made by the Insurance! j Commissioner. Upon motion, an appropriation equal to the poll tax of the members of the colored fire company, was made to the colored company. These rebates were allowed the fol lowing taxpayers on the grounds that property outside of the corporate limits had been erroneously listed in town: Dr. N. M.

The engineer.having found that some of the connections are laid too shallow, suggested that the Board should re quire all terra cotta pipe to be laid at a depth of not less than 18 inches, and that all pipes laid from curbing to the main should be laid on a uniform grade. He also suggested that all private lines be required to have a trap between the house and the curb line. The kitchen sinks and bath rooms should be properly vented. To get all the available fall, the lines should be laid cn a uniform grade, starting 18 inches below the surface at house line and giving a gradual fall to connection at the street.

The board calculates to get $4,000 from the dis pensaries, but it is highly improbable that the amount will be so lanre. A few figures pertaining to the schools may prove interesting. The county is divided into 9 townships,and j the nine townships into 50 school dis tricts. The total number of children of school age, according to the last cen sus is 8491, there being about 200 more colored than white There arc 96 schools 52 white and 44 colored.

During the meeting the report of the city engineer was made, which report is found in condensed form in another column. The school term prescribed by law is of four month's duration, except in the special tav districts, where it is varied according to the extra tax voted. Complaints from the various dis tricts were bronght to the attention of the board. A petition was received from the Stem and Washington schools askino that they be allowed to consolidate. This plan was approved of, and the county commissioners have ordered an election to be held at Stem, on the 1 7th of February. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, 40 teachers were present at the second meeting of the Granville County Teacher's Association, which (Continued on Page Four.)
