tion, has received the final report Of the ex-
pert accountants. A large mass of accumu-
lated correspondence was read and placed
on file. During the meeting, while the
question Of the school funds which had
been misappropriated by Bardsley, was un-
der discussion, Mr.. SmitherH announced
that he had received information that the
state was withholding from the city treas
ury all the money due the city pending the
suit for the state moneys lost through
Bardsley, while the city treasurer is paying
over regularly all the money due the state.
The experts reported that they had been
unable to complete their investigation Of the
overdrafts which appeared on the ledger at
the close Of 1888 and had not been cashed
over to 1889 on accounnt Of the refusal Of
the authorities to allow further inyestiga-
tion Of the books.

the investigation Of the accounts Of John
Bardsley. He said that Bardsley had ad-
vanoed to the Bradford Mills company, out
