of $100,000.00; $~3,000.00 of which belongs to Charlottesville District and $47,000.{
to Scottsville District.
From the above you will~ therefore, see that Charlottesville District
needed $9,889.19 and S¢ottsville DistriCt needed $36,120.35 making a total ef
$46,009.54 needed to pay off these bonds. We, therefore, deducted this amount from
