Alta meeting Of the board Of educa
ton last night the iaance committes
made the following report. which, after
being discussed. was tabled:
MEEPHIs, February IS. 1878.
Honorable Board Of Education.
GEETLEMEE : Your COMMITTEES or
finance beg leave 70 submit the following
report. in lieu of that offered at your last
meeting: Our Indebtedness to February
IL, 1878, on bills which had passed the
auditing committee, amounted to
$3135 22i U Indebtedness on payroll ia
Febrsasy l, 1873, amounted to $9054 Al.
These two items added make a total in.
debtedness of $l3, 1879 60 After deduct
ing balance in bank of $7342 SO, there is
still a deficit of $5846, 65 left unprovided
for, ia addition to our daily current ex.
Denses. From the best information we
a obtain, and the closest calculations
we can make with the data at our com.
mand, we do not think we shall be able
to continue the present term of our pub.
lie schools longer than the month of
April. Even this will most probably
leave us with a deficit Of $4,000, which
We expect the receipts Of May and June
collections of taxes to cancel Should
the receipts during February. March and
April justify It. we can continue our
schools longer, but it is not safe now to
calculate on continuing them longer
than through April. All of which is re-
specially submitted.

not only are there newspapers 10 Boston

enough to oppose, in the assumed inter

work which, when properly carried out,
is destined, by providing a cheap water
outlet for freight, to bring the railroads
OF the Northwest to their senses. Moth.

should learn to look upon the improve.

each. 1t is idle TO Imagine that
one part OF the country can be
permanently prosperous while another
is suffering from retarded growth.
All sections Of this country
are indissolubly united, and the improve.

only a benefit to the particular locality
