The Auditing committee reported
they had completed the examination
of the treasurer's accounts and found
$11.S0 more deposited than called for
by the books. The reason for this was
thought to be an error in the balance
from last year.

animation of the Treasurer's books
was read. 1t showed that there was
due Mr.. o. P. Hyde for this work SIS
for three days work.
Mr.. Eyssen reported concerning the
hiring of Janitors that the committee
had decided to make the salary uni
form and to keep the janitors at work
all the year, instead of ten months as
heretofore. The reason for this Is that
there is always more or less work to
be done vacation that the janitors
could do just as well as to be compell-
ed to hire some one else to do it. They
recommended salary of $4OO per year
The report was accepted.
The janitors appointed were as fol-
lows: c. P. Thomas, High School; B.
F. hldwell, Washington street; Wes-
