ANN ARBOR GETS OVER $8,000

BY THE SEMI-ANNUAL APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL MONEY

Which Is the Largest Amount in the History of the School District

The Ann Arbor schools will get about $8,000 primary school money by the semi-annual apportionment of primary school money to be made Nov. 10. The apportionment will be on the basis of $2.50 per each child of school age. Last May it was sixty cents, making $310 per capita tor the year the largest in the history of the state. The school district can well afford to put some of the extra money thus obtained into the work of putting in modern sanitary arrangements connected with sewers at the school houses.

The amount of money apportioned in the year 1896 was $1.23 per capita for the entire year; in 1897 it was $1.44, in 1898 $1.50, in 1899 $1.50, in 1900 $2.15, and in 1901 $2.40.

The extra per capita of school money comes in at just the right time.
