PER the question OF insurance.

b. the amount on the whole building.

Mr. Grimshaw begged leave to cor.
1t the gentleman. II there should be
Ire the whole building wolld be gut
and nothing left but four great
bills, which would not be worth the
TX and mortar. He wouldn't give
for tn whole brick concern In case
.uch a disaster He favored the
bsing OF the insurance somewhere In
j. neighborhood of 100000.
Ii pursuance to notice given at a
evious meeting Mr.. Lobdell offered
|koIntion to strike ont the words
Tome companies" in section II, under
head of committee on Insurance
t-red for the purpose Of giving the
ari and insur .ncs committee more

Nr. Heislrr wasn't ready for the mot

SHAWL" ejacuated Mr.. Simpson.
Xr, Lally thought it wansn't right
receive such technical points.
It's right--its law," asseverated
Speakmau.
|Kr Lally continued his remarks up,
.asuring in home companies -'@''
|Ar Lobdell said he was sick and |
Of hear ng this cant, this senti
pat, in regard to insuring in home
apanies. The aggregate of the home
Epanies amounts to about $500, 900,
in case of large fire. here your
c.rs are not worth the paper they
written on.
|Df. Grimshaw echoed this sentiment,
thought it would be best to lay the
Ftr, for consideration, before a spe
meeting, and upon his motion it
decided to meet on Thursday even
next.
Mr. Heisler presented the following
DIutioL which was adopted:

lmiltee Of Howard school, reported /
Alhe Howard school building could
asDd another story for $500, or it ,
ID be extended to the building line
s-lO0. lie favored the latter; but l
asht it would bs best to defer the
pOvtment until Spring.
VI, Grimshaw thou, ,ht tnat the teach
Gould do as the teachers of Rugby
rwt Crobb could do. They have
scholars for A. b. C.primary way up
N4nches perhaps as high as any
git in the schools throughout tie
alry. He couldn't see why TINS
Howard school couldn't do this as
as they.
'trsld-nt Eckel, interrupting-if the
L4prs of the Howard schoo! did this
would have to provide them with
rooms; they cannot hear three ,r
Irssons on the same floor at the
time.
