der at 10 80 q. m.

Hutchinson took exception to the bill
passed at last session allowing con-
stable Charles Green $3.50, for de-
stroying the old whipping post, which
had been sold by the jail commission
ers to j. Curtis Wigglesworth.
He oontented that for services
rendered" was not definite enough,
that 1t was misleading In character
and should not be charged to the ap-
preparation for incldentels.
The minutes however were passed
without change on motion OF Mr..
Hickman.
A general discussion then ensued on
the location OF the new school house,
in the new school district No. 10l New

commissioner present, said he was
perfectly satisfied with the location.
Mr.. Delhi was not satisfied and several

monstrants.

port TO the school commissioners of
the district. Chairman Buckingham
decided the point we'll taken. and there
the matter dropped.
