man. The chairman being absent, by re-
quest of Mr.. Hotchkiss, Superintendent
White made verbal report of the delibera-
tions of the committee. in which he said
that the committee had had a meeting, but
the only matter considered was the condl-
ton OF the boards finances, and that the
merits of the question had not been entered
into. In view of the boards financial con-
dition. he said it had been deemed ineXpe-
dent at the present time to take any steps
in that direction.

port at the next meeting, which was car
