Movement Gladly Received
The movement to drill for oil and
so near the city of Nehawka, is very
pleasant news for the people of Ne
hawka and vicinity. The location of
the initial point of drilling at the
Pollard orchards is very gratifying
. to all concerned. The actual work
i w ill not be begun for a few weeks
yet, as it will take some time to get
a crew and rig here to push the work.
, The investigations show that there
!are good prospects of oil being under
(the entire town site. Indications, as
'they are looked at by some, are that
Nehawka is destined to be the large
city of eastern Nebraska, with Platts
mouth. and Nebraska City mere su
burbs and even Lincoln and Omaha
only poor competitors in the race for
the metropolis of Nebraska.
! We are in hopes that their antici
pations may be fully realized. How
ever this effort should be gotten be
hind by every one interested in the
growth and welfare of our hustling
little city.

School Fund to
be Distributed
by Treasurer
; Payment This Year Made Ahead of
Time Because of Fast wortc
Total of $552,000.
School districts of Nebraska will
get their semi-annual apportionment
money from the state two or three
weeks earlier than usual this time,
owing to the prompiness with which
the June distribute n has been han
dled in the offices of State Treasurer
Stebbins, State Supt. Taylor and
State Auditor Johnson. Besides be
ing ahead of schedule, this appor
tionment is $33,000 larger than the
one a year ago.
The state superintendent's office
made the computations of the sums
due each school district in Nebraska
within three days after the state
treasurer certified to it that there
would be $552,844 available for the
distribution. Warrants for these
amounts were being written Satur
day in the auditor's office, which
will be mailed to the respective coun
ty treasurers as soon as they are
countersigned by the state treasurer.
In making the June allotment,
Supt. Taylor deducted $967 from the
total to corect an error made in the
last previous school split six months
ago, which resulted in some over
payments. The remainder was divid
ed as the law specifies one-fourth
equally among all districts, and three
fourths on the basis of their school
population.
Rate Per Child $1.04
Under the foregoing plan of appor
tioning the temporary school, fund,
every district will receive $1.03905
lor each boy or girl of school age
living within its borders. The amount
to be paid out in that way is $413,
954. The sum that goes to all districts
share and share alike is $137,923, of
which each one will get $22.05.
There are fi.255 districts entitled to
their portion. Some of the smaller
districts are left out because they
failed to maintain schools for the
length of time the statute requires.
There are 39S.397 children of
scliool age in Nebraska, the educa
tion dt-rartnient's records show. This
figure is based on official school cen
sures taken in all districts.
Lancaster county will receive $31,
0C2 of the total amount, or 5.S per
"ent. Douglas county will draw
$57,S56. or about 10 Vz percent. Cus
ter conies third with $12,239, and
Gage is fourth with $11,313.
Different sources of revenue con
tributed to the apportionment as fol
lows: Interest on bond investments,
$242,908; school land leases, $192,
034; interest on school land con
tracts. $69,991; .insurance licenses.
$40,151; cold storage licenses, $570;
employment agency licenses, $500;
liquor licenses, $360; warehouse li
censes, $310.
