Mr.SISLER said the bill was purely |
local one, and the debt incurred, had been |
created by an enlargement of the SCHOOL,
buildings of Akron. The necessity for |
more room arose from the great Increase of

Mr.. RUTTER said there was hill near
the town on the road leading to the County
Infirmary, which the people desired should
be graded and graveled, and this bill was
Intended to authorize such to be done.
Mr.. ACKER said it seemed to him that
the work was to be done out of the road
fund. He wanted some explanation on the
matter before voting for it. iisFt scr
Mr. HUGHES of Butler, said thatthe bill
had been before the committee, and from
all the facts, they thought the bill was right
In its provisions. If the road fund men
toned was sufficient to do the work, it was
bright; if not sufficient, the balance could
be made up afterwards. .,ra.,,iz r

to define the boundaries of those town

Jurisdiction. To settle this difficulty, he
had introduced that bill, which clearly de-
| fined the boundaries of the townships men,
