ing Of the board of trustees of Newark
Academy and Delaware Normal School
was held In the building yesterday after
noon. The general routine business, re-
lating to the ial.condition &C., was
discussed. The matter of whether the
trustees bear half the expense of carry
ing the waste water from the town away,
in conjunction with town council, WAS
taken up. At the late meeting Of coun-

the gutter thrown ut them, go final steps
are now taken to settle the question.

ground yesterday and they will pave the
gutter on the east side, or next the
academy, as far as the corner, and then
