A discussion arose ss to the Library money, before
The close of which Mr.. NELSON came out in favor OF
deere of saaries estimated by the Committee at
$4,000 Mr.. WATERBURY declared that this was all
buncombe for everybody knew that there could be no
reduction of salaries Mr. BOISE thought other items
might better be cut down-up town schools, with
gorgeous chapes ard carpets for the children to walk
on. Mr.. NELSON moved TO cut down the sum OF
salaries to 5000 but Mr.. GRIES stated that the
amount required by present rates of paying was
sS52, GOO, and be moved to make it &569, O0O Mr.
WATERBURY thought an ipcrea.e Of $62OOO was all
that the public would stand $4,000 would be rather
IT, startling. The largest sum was, however voted
10 to 10. An attempt was made to get rid Of the
$4,000 for pianos but after long discussion it was
tanned. An item Of 100000 for Libraries was stricken
out. motion that the Free Academy item be re-.
duced TO S4O,0 600, was negatived-l0 to 49, Mr.. SIN
CLAIR eneIgetcaly asked If the 49, 900 for Normal
Schools included bouquets for teachers at entertain
ment at which nobody was satisfied, neither the
teachers the officers the members of the Board
Of Education. If it was made to sustain any such
operation or exhibition as that, he would vote sganst
it, The people should not pay for lot Of expensive
bouquets. The parties who were most interested in it
went there and could no. get in, ard obliged to
90 away The place was crammed by the ndiscrimi
nate distribution of tickets II the money went for
that, be moved that it be stricken out. The public

The motion to strike ont was lost.
Mr.. TWEED said that the salaries Of the Normal
Schools were only $780, and he did not whatthey
wanted $4,000 for.
Mr.. WATERBURY replied that this did not commit
the Board to paying tlj, OCo for Normal Schools; when
they got the money they could do what they chose
with it.

adopted.
