schools be communicated 10 the honorable
Council OF olr city at their first meeting IN
October, with the assurance that the Board
appreciates the financial condition Of the
city and tie liberal appropriations ALREADY
made, but requests that honorable body to
give the subject careful consideration and
render such help as they may be able to give.
