These funds are set aside for |
| those areas which exert a mini- |
| mum effort to raise money for |
‘school in accordance with each |
‘aleas need and its ability to|
'\ pay.’ The funds are in addmon\
to the basic State appropriation |
for school operations which to- |
tals $31,999,750 for the cuuent
year.
Last year, four localities tailed | ‘
to show minimum effort and\
thus did- not qualify for a full
share of State aid. They were |
Clarke and Warren Counties, |
Fredericksburg and Staunton. |

aid. \

The county which appropri- |
ated the highest percentage of |
llocal funds in 1953-54 was Ar-|
{lington, which contributed $4,- |
283,434 of a total expenditure
of $5,857,705 for school opera-
|tions. The " local output repre-
|sented 73 per cent of total ex-
|penses. The State contributed
|19 per cent and the Federal
| Government 8 per cent.
Alleghany, with 68 per cent
local expenditure, was second
and Fairfax with 62 per cent was
third. Henrico with 60 and
Chesterfield with 59 per cent
