standing bonds OF the series included in the
abovs.aamed funds.
This exhibit had been used by the old Board oil
Liaudaton but as it was, to all appearances,
not an official docu nent although correct, Mr.
Bush urged that the board could not have any
official action upon 1t.
The exhibit was made out from receipt OF
Auditor Perslts in 1866 for the bonds which were
enumerated. The bonds after the war were
turned over the roper local officers by the United
States Government. MI. Campbell, clerk in
the Treasurer Office in which he has been en-
ployed for the last ten years, was called and e1-
planned with regard to the exhibit which he had
prepared. He also explained concerning the sale
Of the free school bonds and others in 1872 under
act 81 of that year. There are 1873 OF The free
school bonds missing, supposed to be still in the
hands OF the United State, Government.
Mr.. Campbell has the receipts for each bond
sold, which he was requested to produce on
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Peralta was also summoned, the object
being to procure if possible the original OF the
receipt mentioned above, so as TO obtain the
number Of the bonds.
The total amount Of the bonds enumerated in
resolution No. in class first is 81 044,5 600, OF
which $4,000 are from the free school fund.
A protest from Messrs. Forstall & Sons against
.he resolution adopted on Tuesday, was read and
laid over.
The board at p. m. adjourned until the usual
b lur ON ThursdaV.
