The resolution which he offered provides that the fund be invested and that the investment can only be changed by vote of all the trustees. MT. F'oote is the present custodian of the fund.
 In reply to Alderman Alcorn, MT. Wright said that under the terms of the resolution the trustees would be permanent appointments until vacan- cy occurred. In reply to Alderman Beecher, MT. Wright said that he did not know whether the resolution pro- vided that the trustees should give bonds. MT. Wright asked A. Maxcy Hitler, who occupied spectators bench, about this and MT.
