More discussion ensued over the

works Superintendent and it wis on
th s subjeot that argument waxed
the warmest, f nally ending in fixing
the compensation for this officer at
$125 per montn, $25 below’ the
present salary received.

salary of the Superintendent be fixed £
at $100 per month. After being d s- 5
