 agent which was to be $1a0 per month, making the amount for the
 rc4l14..etel u ,llis year about s300.
 According 10 Information handed him

 at the end of the year were to be re- l imbursed for the amour. expended. A portion of the law concerning this matter was read to show that it ttseemed that the state board was to
 make payment direct to the agent.

 power to pay an agent out of the
 funds 1t was allowed to spend and
 that as the salary of the agent had
 not been definitely settled upon did
 not care to take the responsibility of
 spending the towns money It was 7 stated that as yet there had been no appropriation from Hartford for this fwork.
