Treasurer required to give a bond of $2000. Twenty-five per cent. of subscriptions are to be collected as soon as practicable. We are indebted to Secretary Leesemann for the abaove data In another column, is found: The school committee will collect only one-fourth the amount subscribed at present, unless a subscriber desires to pay all his subscription, when the committee is authorized to receive it. By this means the amount can be paid up without any hardship. |
