The report OF the sl'eciai committee OF
the Manchester School Board as to the
city's loses by I. II. Fitzgerald, which
was made to tho board Tuesday night,
is the chief subject for discussion among
the people of this city now. Nothing that
has happened recently has caused as
much comment as this report, which
shows that there is a shortage of SILL
in the accounts of former Clerk F1tzser-
aid The matter was discussed in every
store and gathering Of men last night
and the majority who spoke on the SUI
jeCt are of the opinion that the conilueues
of the board, and especially the president
was too great in the clerk. In a tax Will
one member of the City Council and also
of the School Board last night, the SCH
tleman said that the report that there
was a shortage in the accounts amount
ing to 5000, and the fact that there
would likely be more ADDED to TINS ust'
was a shame and the worse thing ttiat
ever happened in Manchester. w ME l
am a member OF the board, SAD ne, l
do not hesitate to say that there has
been some transactions that were ehureiy
too secret, and they-the Irregularities
should have been discovered before tiieS
grew so large
