that sites for houses for white schools have
been secured IN all the districts and that pros
pect is presented for the purchase Of SHE for

OF Ienallytown and west of Rock Creekl
Whlle nourlsklng colored schools held i'm rent
ed rooms are already in operation in the
9th and 9TH school sstricts the COMMITTEES
are of the opinion that it would be unwise-not
10 say unnecessary-to ask Congress 70 lessen
the restrictions which the act now in force I'M
poses upon the procurement of sites for school
houses. The committee express the opinion
IN view OF the zeal and discretion already dis
played in obtaining sites for white schooIs that
eligible sites for colored schools will be se-
cured as fast as the proportion of the
school funds which the law requires them
TO set apart for the education Of colored
houses and MAINTAIN schools in them
Ihe committee recommend that q tag of
twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollars
be levied for school purposes and make a com
psf,son OF the amounts paid in different parts
OF the county, showing that the amount named
Is less Than one half of that paid in other places
The report was adopted.

account for fees for holding inc uests in the
county since 1856, lat which time the late suit
IN which he obtained judgment was enteredD
amounting 10 S12,972, which was referred 20
the committee on finance. This does not in

estate is not able TO pay the expenses of the
jury, costs from $40 10 $50.
