81507. Approximate apportionment and disbursement of State
funds.—The auditor of public accounts, on or before the first day of
November of each year, shall make a calculation of the gross amount
of all funds applicable to public free school purposes for the ensuing
year, which calculation shall be based upon the land and property books
of the several commissioners of the revenue for said year; and when said
books have not been received in time, he shall base said calculation upon
the commissioner’s books of the next preceding year. He shall report
to the superintendent of public instruction, not later than the first day
of November in each year, ninety per centum of the gross amount of all
funds found to be applicable to public free school purposes for the cur-
rent year as an approximate basis for distribution; whereupon, under
the direction of the State board of education, there shall be furnished to
the auditor a distributive statement of the amounts due the several
counties and cities in the State upon this approximate basis.

Upon receipt of such statement, the auditor shall issue his warrant
upon the treasurer of the State for one-half of the amount each city or
county is entitled to receive, payable to the treasurer of such city or
county; and on the first day of February following the auditor shall
issue his warrant upon the treasurer of the State for the other half of
the amount each city or county is entitled to receive, payable to the
treasurer of such city or county.
