§ 22-37. Salary and expenses of superintendent; State
and local contributions; part-time superintendents.—The divi-

mum salary shall be two thousand dollars per year; and in each
division having therein less than two thousand, a minimum
basic salary of sixteen hundred dollars. In school divisions with
a school population of over three thousand the division superin-
tendent shall receive, in addition to the minimum of three thou-
sand dollars, ten dollars per hundred for each hundred school
population above three thousand, allowing in each computation
numbers in excess of fifty to count as the next higher even
hundred.

Of the above amounts, the State shall contribute sixty per
cent., the governing bodies of the counties and cities shall con-
tribute forty per cent., and in addition to such basic minimum
armnual salary the school board of each county or city shall con-
tribute not less than six hundred dollars out of the school funds
in their respective treasuries derived from local taxation or local
appropriations.
Approval of the State Board must be secured for the em-
ployment of a part-time superintendent and: the State Board
must approve the conditions under which the part-time superin-
tendent may be employed and the amount of salary to be fixed
for services rendered as division superintendent, which salary
shall be paid by the State and the county or city respectively in
the same proportion as above set out.

The amounts to be contributed by the State as above pro-
vided shall be paid by the State Treasurer in monthly install-
ments out of the available funds on the warrants of the Comp-
troller upon the approved voucher or vouchers required by the
Comptroller.

The local school board may, out of the local fund supple-
ment the salary above prescribed, but in no case shall this local
supplement be reduced from the supplement paid as of January
one, nineteen hundred forty-seven, unless the total annual salary
should exceed ten thousand dollars, except by special permis-
sion of the State Board, and the local school board shall pro-
vide for the necessary traveling and office expenses of the super-
intendent; provided the specific amounts and the purposes for
which such amounts are designated as to traveling expense shall
be reported to and approved by the State Board. The office
expense shall be approved by the local school board. Detail
records of all such expenses shall be kept in the office of the
superintendent and together with all other expenditures open to
the inspection of the public.

and State Board.—The application for such loan and * the attor-
ney's certificate of title to the property on which the school
building is to be erected for which the loan is to be made, shall
