$121.52 from last year, and disbursements, including $32.60

to $50.00. During the year, two additional bonds of $100

of the Madison banks be rented for the use of the Academy.

term. 
The report was accepted and ordered filed. Messrs. Hobbs, 
Wagner and Marshall were appointed a committee to audit the 
accounts of the treasurer. This committee was authorized to 
report to the council, as the treasurer did not submit vouchers 
with his report and it would not be possible to audit his ac¬ 
counts during the present meeting. 
It was moved and carried that the resignation of the treas¬ 
urer be accepted and that a committee to nominate a successor 
be appointed. The president appointed Mjessrfs. Peckham^
