I Colombo Road. At seven o'clock last night, a thinly at tended meeting of householders was held in the temporary schoolroom, Mr F. C. Hall, chairman of the committee, presiding. The Chairman first read the advertisement convening fche meeting, after which he gave the names of the retiring committee, and read the annual statement of accounts, which showed that tho receipts had been—subscrip tions, £113 17s 6d; rates and school fees, £115 los ; rebate on rent of temporary schoolroom, £2 ; total, £231 12s 6d"; and the expenditure had been —salaries, £30 j district contribution towards new school and site, £100 ; school apparatus, £20 j inci dental expenses, £20 9s ]0d: total, £170 9s lOd —leaving a credit balance to the main ten ance account of £G0 2s Bd. Since the com mittee were elected in July, they had pur chased an acre of land from Mr Murray- Aynsloy for £100, fronting on Going's road, close fco Colombo road, and had entered into a contract with Mr James Wood for tbe erection of school buildings afc a cost of £7G9 12s. This mado a total of £869 12s for school and site, and tho dis trict having to provide one-sixth of tlie amount they had £145 to pay iuto the trea sury on this account. Only the subscriptions could bo devoted to this purpose, and £100 had already beon paid from those shewn by the balance-sheet to have been collected. This left them £15 to make up, but as the Board of Education had promised them a further grant of £25 in consideration of the committee having prepared thoplans,andnoac counfc of other matters, thero was only £20 to be provided ; and as the. balance of the sub scriptions romainining in hand was £13 17s 7d, there was only a deficit of between £G and £7, which would be easily mado up by sub scriiitions that had been promised but nofc yet applied for. The funds wero therefore in a very satisfactory state, and no further appeal for aesiofctwioo-would, liavo to bo mado to the dis trict at present. He then read the clause in the Ordinanco explanatory of the qualifica tions necessary to entitle persons io vote for the election of oflicers, after which he called upon thoso present to nominate a new com mittee. Mr B. Dewsbury moved that the old com mittee be re-elected.
