look 10 an immediate appropriation, excepting
the 500 for plans, &c. He further thought that

be taken W. He therefore thought no better
opportunity would occur to make the selection Of
lots, when they much cheaper than they will
be some months hence lie stated that at present
about $50 children were attending our public

Divide this sum by Z, and we have &H ,2s5, a sum
large enough to build a modern school house In
