Council Bill, No. |, introduced by Mr..
Bigelow on Saturday, came up relative to
the distribution Of the school fund for
lS55-read second time.
Mr.. Wallace called the attention Of the
Council to the first and second sections of
the bill, and thought some amendment nee
essary, as there might be some confusion
in making the distribution Of money. For
instance A scholar may carry an order
from the school superintendent to the coun-
ty treasurer and demand its payment, but
is Informed that the clerk Of the district to
which the scholar belongs, has drawn oil
the money the said district is entitled to,
and, therefore, the county treasurer could
not cancel the order or pay the amount
due said scholar
