Of Cherryiield is having a somcw hat
TeXcd problem to deal with concerning
the surplus acCruing from the Amasa
L. Wiley medal fund. Among his
public requests Wiley in his will set
apart $40 annually to be expended in
medals as awards for proficiency in

the town. In spite of the fact that
these awards are made each year, the
surplus Of the fund has been dccumu-
latinG until it has reached the sum Of
800. the amount since the will became
operative being sl,O5234. While nearly
all are agreed that the bequest might
be expended for some other purpose
that would be more beneficial to the.
schools, the serious difficulty is how to
bring the change about without con-
fiictinG with the will which makes no
other provisions for the disposition Of
the fund.
