The committee of finance, in their list of
appropriations recommended TO the City
Council. the cutting down Of the appropria-

$500 instead of $1,000 as il was last year.
An order to that effect passed in Common
Council at the last meeting, but was laid on
| the table by the board of Alderman, to be
called up at the next meeting. The amount
set apart last year not quite sufficient to
meet all the expenses of the school. and
since the directors have engaged the teachers
| for the coming year at their former salaries
and the present teachers could not have been
secured for less sum-it is a problem for
an arithmetician to solve how the bills can
be paid from reduced appropriation, if the
school is kept through the year as heretofore.
