 yesterday afternoon, as was expected, was one of toll and worry. The members were clearly worried over two things the finances and the Grand Jury investi- gat tion.. In connection with the latter Director Gallagher found it convenient to launch into bitter tirade against the jury as whole and Juryman Irvlng in particular. As he made the gravest charges against this body the solid contln- gent of the board resolved itself into a society of mutual admiration, smiling ard Eodding approvingly as the charges fell from his lips. He finished his reading with an air of satisfaction and sat down with the remark that the story would be ':continued at our next" The matters of finance were disposed of in me asufe by cutting out the salary of all teachers for the month of November.
 Gallagher introduced his floral tributes to the Grand Jury by complaining of an editorial in a recent issue. of the. Chro.i- Gle charging unreasonable expenditures in the furnishing of the Mission High School. He took up the charges seriatim and classified them as 'lies," "misstate- ments." false statements" malicious lies and unwarranted abuse" Then lie passed over his little package to the \ Grand Jury in the following language:

 The resolution to withhold the salaries or teachers for the month of November, with the understanding that the amounts withheld would be refunded at the close Of the present fiscal year in case there was sufficient money on hand to make them good, caused a general discussion. that the present board would be out of power long before the close of the present nseai year and it had no authority to saddle It's debts on the new board.
