Mr.  Ellsworth,  from  the  same  committee,  also  submitted  the  fol«
lowing  report:

The  committee  on  towns  and  counties,  to  whom  was  referred  a
resolution  from  the  House,  instructing  them  to  bring  in  a  bill  defi-
ning the  law  relative  to  the  number  of  school  inspectors  in  the  sev-
eral townships  in  this  State,  through  their  chairman,  most  respect-
fully report  that  they  have  had  the  matter  referred  to  them,  under
consideration;  that  article  eleven,  paragraph  one  of  the  new  consti-
tution, provides  that  there  shall  be  elected  annually  in  the  several
townships,  among  other  officers,  one  township  clerk,  who  shall  be
ex-officio  school  inspector,  and  also  one  school  inspector;  that  after
careful  investigation  and  mature  consideration  of  the  new  constitu-
tion, and  the  present  laws  relative  to  school  inspectors,  they  have
unanimously  come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  laws  now  in  force,  were
not  repugnant  to  the  new  constitution  in  that  respect,  and  that  they
will  remain  in  force  until  repesled  or  altered  by  the  Legislature.
