Upon the question of granting per-
mits to hold schools between the last

vailed that to avoid any possibility of
complication arising, it would be the
safer way to grant permits where
schools were continued after June 80,

was also discussed, and it was strong
" urged by some that the adjustment
of the office of County Supervisor was
injurious to the best interests of edu-
