Mr.. Given said that if he stood here solitary
and alone in opposing these amendments he
should do go. He supposed the committee had

considered in order to move an amendment TO
the report Of the Conferen ce Committee but il
il could be done he would move to increase
The rate OF taxation for the support Of the
Public Schools from 90 to so per cent. The

an additional school tax Of atleast 10 per cent.
TO meet the equirements Of the acts Of Con-
gress for the support OF the colored schools.

move an amendment to the report OF the Con-
terence Committee.
Mr.. Given suggested that If the amount of
tax levied was not sufE Ecient for the purpose
indicated it could be met by q deficiency bill.
He called for the ayes and noes on the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr.. Moore explained that there was no COM
promise, and was under the impression that
the Collector would receive more under the

will If he accepts the compensation allowed
him by the amendments proposed by the com.
mittee.
