reported to have reached an agree-

discussed in general terms and on a
very frimidly manner, it was re-
ported by a School official.
Later in the ;tfter noon the Public
Welfare budget wtis and
- this, too, was studied in detail.
Since there were some final ch-
anges and revisions to be made in
both of these budgets, largely of
a mechanical nature, it was decid-
cd to hold unothm joint mccting of
the Board of Supervisors with the
School Board and Board of Pub-
lic Welfatc, this Friday, whorl it
is expected that definite and final
action will be taken. -
Nothing definite was done in re-
gaid'to either budgt,t, ut it was
nudcistood that . "a ,,frie illy spirit
characterized the entire ;meeting.
