trustees powers without consulting

thought the principle unjust taxa
ton without representation.

clause of the bill. as in many in
stances our school property is dead
or delayed, because the trustees can
not get three-fourthS majority to
vote for any tax except for payment
of teachers or building school
houses, and he thought it proper
that sensible trustees should have
power to provide for contingent pur-
poses.
