NEW EQUALIZED ASSESSMENT MEANS LOWER SCHOOL GRANTS The Statesman's Newcastle corres- pondent, who is well versed in legis- lative grants to school, states tisat one effeet of thse raising of Newcas- tle's equalized assessment f rom thse former figure of $194,508 to $448,367 will be to reduce tise public scisool legisiative grant by $522.00, figured on the new basis of apportioning thse salaries grant which camne into e!- feet last fafl. Every town, village and scisool section in these United Counties will be tise loser, we think, and it wou]d be interestlng for all the scisool trustees or their officiais to, figure out what their salaries grants will be in 1932 as compared with what tliey would be if tise Equalized Assess- ments isad remained as they were wisen thse Provincial Governmnent mn- troduced the new system. The total reduction in legislative grants; to tise scisools tisrougisout these countie.3 will amount to several thousand dol- lars. THE C HURCHES Trlnity United Church-Rev. J. U. Robins, pastor.
