(to the editor ) Str, —The annual meeting of house holders for the purpose of eleetiug a Local School Committee tor the com ing year will shortly be held, aud iu : giving aa account of their stewardship i on that, occasion I hope it is uot ask ing too much when 1 request the i outgoing Committee to state how i it h«s come about that for Several i years past the business of supply > ing stationery for the use of the schools has been monopolised by one individual, aud he a leading member of the Committee—iu fact Treasurer ! It may, perhaps, open the eyes of the unsuspecting when 1 state that during the past twelve months the sum ot twenty four pounds sterling has been paid 10 this one person for stationery, and paid without any efficient check as to the correctness of the items, aud [j moreover, money is still due to bim e on the same account. Certainly it y does pay sometimes to sacrifice oues ,j self at the shrine of public duty ! , a The public, whose money is being y spent in this manner, should see to it. I am, &c, Ak Enkaiy to Log rolling.
