ton.
There was considerable debate as to the

diately than to ask larger amount and

opposite view, and said that every cent
justly required should be asked Tor and re-
ceived. Mr.. Lancaster added it was solely
through the efforts of the association that
the S1OO,O00 appropriation for suburban i'm

get as much of the 100000 for their sec
