NJ. Cunningham, j. C. Townsend. Ad-
journed to meet at the court house March Sd
at O'Clock p m. The committee visited the
grounds Tuesday and examined the prem
ises in regard to repairs. The trustees and
committees are thoroughly interested and if
our citizens will give them some encourage
ment the Belfast fair can be revived and
made a success.
The City Council at it's meeting Tuesday
evening made number of changes of funds
between the various appropriations. A
transfer of $500 was made from highways to
permanent repairs, to meet the extra cost
incurred in Improvements on the South Pri-
mary building. After the appropriation
was made and Improvements begun it was
found that the foundation of the building
was in bad condition, and the city council
directed the school committee to have the
necessary work done to make the building
secure. The sum of S400 was transferred
from highways to general school purposes,
which will admit of the school accounts be-
ing continued month later than formerly
and thus the school report will agree in date
with that of the City Treasurer. The change
of $3.50 from contingent to highway was
made to pay the salary of the Road Commits
sioner, which has been drawn from month
to month from the highway appropriation
whereas all salaries are payable from the
contingent fund. After making these
changes there will remain an unexpended
balance in the highway fund.
