hoard will he compelled to dismiss
all scholars who do not reside w ith
in the city limits. The license
money is not sufficient to employ
another teacher at present and
naturally those who pay taxes to
the town must he allowed the tir-t
opportunity of sending their chil
dren to school.
The tire apparatus having arri
ved here, it was found that the
nozzles that were sent would not

arrangement, a new nozzle was or

When this is completed the depart
