lows:

Mr.. Mcintosh, of the Building Com
mittee, wished the board to distinctly
understand that his committee was mo-
responsible for the recommendation ane
that it did not emanate from him.
lengthy discussion ensued, during which
Governor Gosper was requested to take
the chair by the President. At its Gloss
Major Frew moved that in place o
recommending that four rooms be added
to the Temple-street school, the Council
be requested to erect new four-roon
building on the Gable Roat
Tract, as in his opinion, th,
former place could better afford to d.
without graded school than the othe
location could do without school al
together. Mr.. Pomeroy stated that sucl
q scheme was impracticable, as tn
board was confined in its use of the fund
at it's disposal TO the sites approved b.
the Council, and no new ones could b
considered at the present time.
