bursements of the School fund with
the Treasurer, as it has been the
universal custom of the Jury to &C

the School Board upon which they is

up to date has not been done, but we
are informed by the President of the
School Board and the Superintendent

soon as the Treasurer shall exhibit to
the President of this body a quietus
from the School Board showing that
the Treasurer has made full settle
ment with the Treasurer of the School
Board for all monies due by him to
that body, up to and including May
10Th, 1908, that the President be au-
thorized to issue to him this bOdy's
quietus mp to that date.
