required oflrirn, and having expressed his
willingness to continue in his said capacity
Oh sufficient allowance being made to him,
and Whcreas it is manifest to this Board
that there is not only an obvious increase of
duty devolving on the Secretary and that
his present compensation is inadequate; and
Whereas in the sense of this Board the ser
vices Of the present Secretary are deemed
eminently useful from his business-like ha-
bits and intimate acquaintance with the op-
CREATIONS of the Board since its organization,
and that an increase Of his salary would be
both right and proper and conducive to the
general good, therefore be it
Resolved, That in lieu of the salary of
Twelve Hundred Dollars per annum now
allowed him, he shall be paid at the rate of
Fifteen Hundred Dollars per annum so
long as he shall continue to fulfil the duties
of Secretary of this Board.
