Owing to the condition of the fence facing Campbell Street at the Central School, it was resolved to make application to the Education Board to have a length of £ chains renewed. Application is also to be made to the Board for the renewal of the flooring of one of the classrooms at the North School. Accounts totalling £3l/12/5 were passed for payment.
