Clly OF SL. raul, ulQ cut down the assess
ment that the Board of Education asked

prohibits the said Board from borrowing
money for the construction of buildings,
and from diverting for any purpose what

except as therein provided;
Whereas, Section 16 of said organic act
provides that no deficiency shall be created
to be made up by the following years tax
alton;
Whereas, The contracts already awarded
will in all probability exhaust the revenue

poses in tax levy of 1886, as per section 10
OF the organic act Of said Board. There
fore,
Resolved. That the addition to or altera-
tiOnS of any School building and all new
buildings needed and in contemplation of

for, be and are hereby suspended until such
time as said Boards finances, will warrant
their construction.
