He appealed to the council to allow at least $12OO appropriation and said the last thing they should think of cutting should be the schools.

 Considerable and purposeless dis cussion followed on the audit report with a motion cancelling all war rants already barred by the statute of limitations passing. After other minor business, the council ad- journed. The audience had wearied before this and most of them re- tired.
