Thereof.

full degree among the members OF the Academy and
Rink Committees respectively, the former composed
OF seventy five and the latter OF fifty prominent clti-
zens. The bone OF contention between the malcon-
tents appears TO be lack Of confidence in the
judgment and law -glvlng qualifications OF one
another. The charter prepared by the Committee

opposition was mat tne CITY charter was not urged
very strongly before the Assembly Committee and
