made ur next year. The funds
to make lip this will come, we
hope, from the increase in the
equalization fund. ' r
In the proposed bill for the
equalization fund for the next
twp years, a fund to be known
ag the. stimulating fund is pro
posed along these lines. If a
county will vote to increase its
length of term to eight months,
then the state will increase Its
apportionment to that bounty
one-third, since the term would '
be increased one-third, v. For
example '; if this measure is en
acted into law as-recommend
ed by Superintendent Allen,
and'; Madison County .would
vote -an eight' months term,
then 'We would receive an addi
tional 'amount toward paying
for that term of from ten 'to
twelve thousand dollars. If
Madison County would do this,
then all the districts that are
now paying fifty cents could
lower their rates to at least SO,
and1 then we 1 would have1 a
county wide rate the same and
a system the sarnie all over the
county., :
I hope that this recommen-
dation by the State Superinten
dent iwill be written 'into law, '
and that next year 'we will be
