The board declined to take action on
the demand at this time, as there are
no funds on hand with which to pay it,
and the members did not see their way
clear to accepting the work now and
pay for it out of next years funds.
The matter went over with the un-
derstanding that early in the next fis-
cal year-which begins in July-some
new arrangement would be made that
would overcome the difficulties in the
way of accepting the work at the pres
emf time
