the salary of the clerk Of the Board from 500
TO 5000. DR.. Jepson spoke against It; he did
not think the clerks services were worth it

WIS as much entitled to 5000 as the principals
were to 81, 100. Messrs. Ankle and Cald we'll
spoke in favor Of $780, which was the salary
during DR.. Hullihen's term. Mr.. Maxwell

luton coming up, 1t was adopted.
