another layer of bread crumbs, another

then cover with bread crumbs and
bake until the crust is done brown;
season as you put the different layers
in with salt, pepper, and small pieces
Of butter; it will bear high seasoning.
Serve hot.

butter, t%wo-thirds cupful milk, one and
a half cupfuls -four, II te%aspoonful
soda, two eve t~easpoonfuls cream

Bake on jelly tins. For the sauce,
take one-half pint of milk, one table
spoonful flour, one ~teaspoonful corn
starch; mix smooth in a little of the
milk one egg, two t~ablespoonfuls

Senator Robertson remarked that, while fixing
prices on q strict cash basis, the board should
fix them rs the minimum, ne eupposing that
they would depend upon whether the board paid
cash or warrants.
Mr.. Leonhard said as far as that was concern
ed the committee had gone to the Auditors and
Treasurer's Offices to see what amount OF war
rants had Teen issued and how paid. They found
that ali had been paid but $1,000, which was on
standing. Whether that would be the case next
year or not they would leave

In all SIC, 097 96 had been issued Lieut.. Gov.
Wilt inquired il the committee had ascertained
whether the warrants had been paid immediately
upon Issuance or whether the Printer had been
compelled to wait for his money.
Mr.. Leonhard replied that he did not know
how soon they we're paid after being Issued; the
book keeper in the Treasurers Office was not in
when the committee called. He thought how
ever, it would make material difference If the
warrants had to be carried.
