onne Board of Education with Ig-
! norance.
The Bayonne Board of Education met
last evening and Mr.. N. W. Trask welded
the gavel as usual. Nothing occurred to
upset the equilibrium of its members
until Secretary Shredder announced that
he was in possession of a communication
from City Treasurer G. L. Lord. That the
contents of the document were not fiatter-
ing was evident from the feet that several
members who had already perused it were
unwilling that il should be read IN public.
Trustee Van Dyck moved that the COM
Committee, inasmuch it should nave been
addressed to them and not to the Board.
To this motion Trustee Seymour was
firmly opposed. The document was read,
and it proved to be a replyto acommuni-
cation from the Finance Committee re-
questing Mr.. Lord to inform it why the
cash in his hands, as shown by the annual
financial report, vas fourteen thousand
dollars less than the amount shown to be
at the credit Of the Board of Education by
the Secretary'S annual report on April 81.
In reply, the City Treasurer refused to
allow the members to examine his books
or to renders transcript Of the school ac-
count for the year ending May 1. Fur
ther, he said that he was at a loss to
account for the ignorance displayed by
the officials of the Board, who seemed to
be unable to distinguish between an APP
~portionment and d cash account.
Trustee Seymour moved that the com
municatson of G. L. Lord be spread in full
on the minutes. 10 this action Trustee
Van Dyck was decidedly opposed. The
obnoxious letter was laid on the table.

mended that warrants be drawn in pay
ment, provided there was enough money
to do so. war t#HH e0weF Ragr
