Meyers could be relieved of certain
financial responsibilities. He men

sidered.
President Smith pointed out a
probable conflict between such a
course and the terms of the appro
priation bill, and suggested that a
new act might become necessary to
avoid the difficulty.
MIR. Lansing said, as business
proposition it would be unwise to
hamper the purchase of goods foI
the settlement store by calling fol-
bids, as provided by law.
President Smith suggested that
the committee meet the executive
council at IL o'clock this morning to
consider the matter. Approved.
