City-Attorney c. V. Meredith SUBJ
mitted his opinion in regard to the con-
troversy going on between the School
Board and the School Committee to
the Committee on Schools.
The substance Of bis opinion is that
it is the duty Of the Board to ask an
nually for what they deem necessary
for expenses Of the public schools for
the next scholastic year; that the
Board, in making such q request, must
furnish the Council with "classiiied
estimate Of the expenses contem-
plated; that the estimate must give TO
the Council as much information as pos
sible as TO each item of expense ;
that it is the duty Of the Council to
examine and revise" said estimate, and
latter carefully considering" the
same, TO allow such q sum as the Coun-
ell is justified in believing will be suili-
cient for school expenses " for the next
scholastic year" 4; that the Council
has no power in making its approprla-
tions 10 specify therein TO whom the
money is to be paid, or in what amounts
they are to be paid; but that the Law
expects the Board to expend the money
in accordance with its " classified esti.
mate" and not TO spend money for one
purpose when it was asked for and
given for another.

ter. In the afternoon Major Holden

lectures, always has something original
and spicy to engage the attention OF his
hearers.

the public meeting, lodge Of Good

ter membership Of thirty-fve, and the
