The court also adopted reso-

the court directed p. Warren Green.

The court also adopted a resolu-
tion that the trustees OF the Work.
house be advised that the $50. 900
worth OF bonds authorized by the
Legislature for Improvements at the
Workhouse will not be issued at this
time.
This action was taken after the

held that the act was not worded

language OF the act. in referring 10

the use OF the funds 10 increase the
facilities OF the workhouse for the

the Court obtain an opinion from a
local attorney upon the matter.
The court then consulted At
