MIR. ATKINSON offered . resolution pro,

aboal one million and fly thousand dol
lars. The increased value OF real estate,
with the same rate per cent, would make
a much greater sum. II is found that lie
present amount is sufficient (.f al purposes;
hence il you'd be a good rsLenchmenl Ia
reduce the school fund TO one and a hall
