Mr.. BEEBE-I do not wish to con-
sumo time, but want to record my OBJ
lection to making any change in the sys-

Changes call for money in every direc-
ton. | think we had better wait and
try the plan we have been trying little
longer. ] do not profess to be thor.
oughly posted on the subject. but
think we have already spent enough
and ought not to put in any more
Money put into public enterprises like
this, is generally permanently invested
We have put in enough for the present
and the present mode will give Satisfac
ton
Mr.. RoDoLF-We are not willing Il
change the system il we can help it
but we are only providing to meet tn,
expenses, if the board of super
vision insist upon it. The provision i;
for the running expenses ii we mus
change. The five thousand dollars i
for these expenses. We wanted to hay,
enough, also. to pay Mr.. Petty if W,
have to buy out what he has there. W,
have been assured that the State Boar,
: will insist upon the change. | knew o
the provision of the law on the subjec

there was no means to hire n Superin
tendent. | could not do otherwise.

nothing Of much value in the old
