The Common School Fund and County Loan Losses
The common school fund of the State exceeds 10 million dollars, distributed to counties liable to preserve it and pay six percent interest annually. Harrison county owes 106000 pounds, loaned to residents in blocks up to 2000 dollars at six percent for up to five years.

Poor management blamed for losses, urging stricter Auditor and appraiser diligence.
