I hereby certify that I have examined the accounts of the school board and find them correct and properly vouched.
THEODORE C. PARKER.
Auditor.
There is a bill at the present time before the legislature which reorganizes the whole system of raising school money. The department of public instruction have suggested that the annual school meeting be delayed as late as possible in order to follow the new regulations if the bill becomes a law. Conse- quently the annual school meeting will not be held at the usual time.
CALVIN S. ANDERSON,
Chairman of School Board.
