that the Committee be given tao weeks
more to deliberate Oh the question. "ll
We can't coms to q decision by tina

was granted.
The Committees Of schools Nos. 2, g.

I'd bids from dawthrop Il Bro, Offering
to put In steam heating apparatus In
the mentioned schools st the following
agures : No. 2, ATS, No. 3, e775 Ne

thorized to advertise for proposals.
Pending the discussion Mr.. Lobdell,
chairman OF the Finance Committee
road the following report which he said
might be we'll for the Board TO consider
in view Of such great outlay Of money
as the proposed new heaters would
render necessary:
Amount In bank, Nov. l, 1880. sl4,.
$50 SO amount to be received, No
VEN Der and December appropriation,
81, 10000; $2l ,9ss.s3 Estimated
regular expenses, October, Novembe
and December, sl7,000.00; balance,
"a, 9s9. SO.
The extra expenses attending repairs
new heaters, &c., absolutely required
will probably exhaust this balance
Our expenses for 1881 will be greatly
increased, as provision will probably
have to be made for supplying teacher;
books, fuel, &C., for at least tive new
schools.
We therefore recommend that Council
he asked to appropriate the full amount
allowed us by law, being per cent
increase over the appropriation for 1886
of s66, 500, making the amount $6S, ,5SS
We estimate that at least $40, ,O0C
will be required for school purposes
during the year Of 1881, and We ask
that "our probA BILE revenue" OF 81 400,
from State and other sources, be not de.
Quoted from the amount asked for from
City Council.
We estimate expenses for 1881 as fol-
lows:
Salaries, 81, ,622. SO books and sta
tionery, $b, $4,000 repairs, %. 720. 33
fuel, 3, 10000; miscellaneous, 81, 537.-
