and appropriated $1,000 toward
the support of the public schools.
This insures a nine month term
with the present efficient corps
of teachers.
This is the largest appropria-
ton ever made by this town for
public education. An ecOnOm-
ical administration of the NUM-
cipal business has enabled the
Council to make this splendid
approximation.

To Repair the Church.

Citizens living in the vicinity of
Broussardville have contributed
an amount approaching $4,000
which will be used to repair and
equip the Catholic church build

encouraged to take this step by
Father Roguet of Royville who,
we are informed, has promised
tohold services in the Broussard-
vile church as often as possible,
thus affording the people an OPP
pOrtunity to attend to their
religious duties.
