SCHOOL FUND.
On motion by Mr. JOHNSON the Constitutional rule was dispensed with by a two-thirds vote, and his bill [S. 206] to require County Auditors to quarterly advertise the amount of school fund remaining unloaned in his office, was read the second time by title only, Committee amendments agreed to, the bill considered as engrossed, and passed by yeas, 36; nays. 4.
Mr. JOHNSON was sure the provisions in this bill will prove very advantageous to the school fund. A number of Counties are now complaining that the school fund can not be loaned, when by advertising in all probability borrowers could be found.
