Hon W. M. Colby Supt Edn

Dr. Sir
Yours in reference to Reports is at hand as are the Blank's themselves and I am right glad as we have been unable to make the August Reports on account of not having them.
I am sending by first mail to all and I hope the delay will not lose them the month. I have heard from 20 Dists in Phillips. Three have failed to vote a tax. and 17. heard from have voted $20,000 (Dollars) I have 15 yet to hear from. Last year the whole County raised $10,500.
What do you Say now; that don't look much like going back, does it? Let the tax of this year be faithfully accounted for and paid out and the question is settled in these parts
