In January of the present year the Citv
Council exercised the fiowere conferred U|m»ii
it by the above named act, and pahM-d an
ordinance in conformity therewith directing
the issuing of bonds to the amount ot
$fk!,0U0. The bonds were accordluglV issumi
and plueed upon the market and tin; pro
ceeds, $110,000, and a slight premium came
into the hands of the City Treasurer. On
the 3d day of February, 1882, the City
Treasurer in his ru|»ort to Council set forth
the receipt into his hands of the proceeds oi
the bonds aforesaid, and asked instructions
as to the tnunucr in which said' proceeds
should be deiaisitcd in bank, and a motion
was passed by tin* Council directing him to
"deposit the money received from tin* pro
ceeds of sale of Loan No. 3b in hunk to the
credit of the Mayor and Council,'' aud the
money was so «Icposited by the City
Treasurer. Ou the books of the City
Treasurer there appears an entry us fol

I'ubiic Education, 1882, February 1, by cash

llon bus received on account of Loan No.

E *ns«*s and a balance iu bank to account of
oan No. 30 as separate items, which added
to whatever may have been the weekly re
ceipts make up the general balance in bin
reports. On the 12th day of May the (Jit>
Treasurer iu his w«*ekly rejKirt simply re

the Mayor and Council of $17,957.70. On
the 19th of May he reported a balance to a
similar account of $9,418.81, and on the 26th
of May a balance to like accouutof $8,383.52.
On the 2d day of June, 1882, the City
Treasurer reports a balance iu bauk to
account of Loan No. 30 of $4,029.00. The
reports of the City Treasurer alter that date
fail to show any halaucc whatever to the

Publie Education on account of I.oan No.
:IU of KM),UOU, t he Board of Publie Educa
tion now calls for said balance to. apply aud
expend the same for the purposes specified
iu the uct creating the loan, and I am asked
as City Solicitor to (five my opinion
there are any available funds
in the city treasury out of which City
Council eau properly and legally order the
payment to the Board of Education of the
said balance of 20,000.
In my opinion there are no funds in the
City Treasury which call he so applied. Tile
proceeds of the side of the bonds issued
under the act of the (icneral Assembly, en
titled, "A further supplement to the act for
the beucht of public schools in Wilmington,"
aud the ordinance of City Council passed
in conformity therewith were by the very
terms of the uct applicable to hut one pur
pose, namely : Building and furnlsid-i
additional school houses in the City oi W li
wliigton, aud the application uud expendi
ture of those proceeds was by the act lodged
in the hoard ol Public Education. These
proceeds were in the huuds of Council
trust for the specific purpose named in Un
art of (Icneral Assembly. Council had no
right to expend a dollar of those proceeds
for any purpose whatever, uud hud only a
naked custody of tlie fund hound lo hold it

i t«>
whether or
ot
in
aud
the
Pro
in
and
ami
was

proper authorities to be used lor tin* prop« r
purpose. The reports of the City Treasurer
show that the halaucc of the p r occeds ol
Loan No. 30, being the $20,000 now asked
for by tlie Board of Public Education, wen
spent by tlie City Council for the current
expeuses of tlie city. Tlie Legislature never
intended that this money should be used for
any such purpose
lu the act of General Assembly.
In my opinion the fund arising from Loan
No. 30 should have been deposited Iree fr«
any connection with the general fonds of
the city, or at least so as tobe clearly distin
guishable. City Council bus co power to
divert to the payment of this balance of
$20 000 any of the fonds now in the city
treasury because th«* funds u«>w in the
treasury are the results of a rate of taxation |
fixed by the City Council to meet tho vari
ous appropriations for the present fiscal year
and to meet these appropriations is tin* sole
object of the taxation. City Council in May
received tin* estimates of tlie probable revc- !
nuo and expenses of the city for the fiscal
vear beginning on the first day of July. At
the first state«! meeting in Juuc was passed j
the ordinance making the appropriations, I
aud the tax rate was afterward fixed
that tlie necessary amount might be ,
j i OTe et the appropriation. Thls

not possibly do so now lor the time for
making appropriations for the present fiscal
year lu past. There is in point of fact no
way In iny best judgment, by which Coun
cil can properly and legally pay this balance
during the present fiscal year ol the General
Assembly. This is a ease of a misappropria
tion of funds, a diversion of a |m

Ckekomoor. L. L, 8ept. 14.—" A good
day for the British,'' was the remark oi a
well-known rifleman this morning, as a
cloudy sky and threatening wind greeted
the appearance of tfie Americans on their
arrival at the range. Rain was threatened,
hut as the morning advanced the sun shorn
brilliantly and a southeast " 0 o'clock wind"
blew strongly from the rear, favorable to the
British in every particular except that it
was what is known as a " lish-tull wind,"
puzzling them on their elevations. Despite
the international importance of the match
the visitors were hardly as numerous
expected. The foreign team straggled to
the range in grouj« of two and three,
and were seemingly unconcerned as to the
result.
Sir Henry Halford and Colonel ftodiue
tossed for the choice of positions, the repre
sentative of the American team winning.
General Woodward was appointed the
executive officer of the duy, with Lieuten
ant Colonel Scherniciliorn ;
General Mollneux was the reft r«*o at the
