The first meeting of the board of con-
trul since it's receH reorganization was
held last night. 1t was productive of
two matters of Importance, the an
nouncement by President r. j. Jennings
of the new 1897 committees and the re-
port of a special committee appointed
at the last meeting to borrow money
and devise ways and means for tiding
the board over Il financial deficit pend
ing the arrival of the overdue appropri-
alton from the state. Another matter
of interest was the reading of numerous
bids for the building of the new Nos.
g. Is and 2S schools.
In selecting his committees for the
fiscal year of 1897 President Jennings
did not forget either Democrats or Re-
publcans whose frendliness made his
election possible. The committees are
as follows:

ALTOONA'S EXAMPLE.

ALTOONAS : F\AM PIE.
Take Altoona as an example. About
two years ago an opposite exchange as
large as ours was built there. We, of
course met their rates. The Promoter
and the instrument maker may have got
ten something out Of 1t, but | do not be-
lieve that the honest investors will ever
see Il dollar of their money. We would
not buy such a franchise or plant at any
price, as that would establish bad pre-
cedent IT is better to let the sheriff get
in his work in all such cases.
Mr.. Lansing disclaimed any effort
to waylay the ordinance. He stated
that he was not aware that there was
such an ordinance until he heard of
it through the newspapers. Yesterday
he looked through the committee box
and, sure enough, found the much
talked of document there, covered with
dust. He was not present at the meet
ing when the ordinance came up in Sc
leCt council. There was no one pres
ent at the meeting to represent the
prosecution as it was faCetously
spoken of. Secretary Atherton stated
that he had been informed that the
new company consisted of Conrad
Schroeder, presidents Mrs. Nina Rob
inson, c. G. BOland and others and
that Attorney George Horn was coun-
sci for the new copmany. The commit
tee decided to hold another meeting at
4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. This
was done with the intention that the
"new company's" side of the case could
be heard from.
