REPORT OF SCHOOL TREASURER.
-----
Receipts and Disbursements For
Marlin Public Schools.
-----
The annual report of Treasurer T. E. Battle of the Marlin Public schools, shows
an interesting exhibit of figures. The statement makes an excellent
showing for the financial condition of the schools and attests to the good
management of the board.
Under the law, the state and county funds
are available only for teachers salaries, the local taxes being available for
salaries and for other purposes connected with the school expenses.
Therefore, the amount of the state fund is applied entirely to salaries, which
exhausts that fund, the remainder due the teachers being paid out of the local
tax fund.
The following is a summary of the report.
