Public Free School Funds for Scholastic Year
Beginning September 1st 1897

Transcribed and Submitted by Abby Balderama

Note:  there was a small fold in the original newspaper which ran down near the left side of this before it was microfilmed.  a few of the characters in the columns for "No. School" and "No. Pupils" running down are missing or partially missing because of this.  I have indicated where the fold occurred by "{f}".  Also, the columns "No. District." "No. School", "No. Pupils." and "Amount to Credit of District." read vertically so I have abbreviated them here.
