ruction. The amount required was fig
.,d 10 be s2.7l5. Ira II. LaFleur, chair
man Of the prudential committee, explain
ID the situation at length and made plain
the necessity of the proposed appropra-
tlon. col :. A Ilsley followed him with =
motion that the sum named. S2,il6. be
voted This motion was opposed at Consid-
erabie length by A. w. Dickens. a
vote was taken by ballot and Colonel
1lsley's motion was carried by a vote of
~ to r3. 1t Is probable that this meeting
settles the question finally as the yea vote
was 50 strong. and vet less than half the
