lO JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS 



offered the Association about 1,200 square feet of floor space for 

 five years, at a yearly rental of $130, exclusive of caretaker, said 

 lease to be concurrent with the Art School lease, and to be renewed 

 for other five years upon the same terms, provided the Art School 

 obtains a like renewal ; but no right to sublet except to the " Went- 

 worth Pioneer Association.'' 



The Council having had this proposition before them, recom- 

 mended the acceptance of the offer of the Art School Board, and 

 that the President and Secretary be authorized to execute a lease 

 upon the terms mentioned, and also that the owner of the premises 

 now occupied be notified that the Association will vacate the same 

 on the I St of July next. 



On motion, these recommendations of the Council were 

 adopted and the meeting adjourned.
