The observation has been made that the 1931 transportation costs as published in the school notes of last week do not agree with audit and treasurer's report. They should not correspond since the cost account figures given are for one year only, the current year, and represent depreciation on all equipment rather than first cost. The figures given in the article mentioned were $5,173.09 for last year's transportation costs. The secretary-treasurer records show $8,710.20, lesi $800 re- celved as insurance on burned bus, or a net of $5,919.20. The difference is accounted for by the following: All gas and oil purchases were naturally lumped under transportation.

Yet a conftiderahle part of this gas and oil was used for pumping water and charging light plant batteries, rgj sufficient bought last year at quantity discount to run the busses this year. The cost of course went on last year's books, but not all on our cost account sheets since a part is being used this year. Two new busses were purchased at $1,976.50. Since these two busses were not worn out in that year a cost account takes only the year's depreciation. This is done on what is known as a sliding scale based on a seven year chassis life.

These cost account figures are as accurate as it has been found possible to make them. Mr. Grouse keeps check on gas, oil, and repairs used on each bus. At the end of the year this with other costs, as depreciation, is charged against each bus and the cost for a mile of operation, and for each pupil transported is available for comparisons. The value of this individual bus cost account is three fold: first, as a check on expenditures; second, as a determinant of the cheaper type or make of bus; and third, when repair costs approach the point of balancing depreciation it's a signal that a new bus needs to be purchased.

Among our p.op'.e who on the sick list tor the past week are: Mrs. Harry Conrad. Joyce Molaberry, N'eiiie Moore, the entire family of Mr and Mrs. Luster Irvin, Mrs. Flute McCain.
