The matter Was discussed at some length, Chairman Hel1yar . of the , finance board explaining that they had an overdraft last pear and unless they were given the amount asked. the ov- erdraft would probably be -larger this year as a Government: grant usually -received would likely be withheld.

The matter Was discussed at some length, Chairman Hel1yar . of the , finance board explaining that they had an overdraft last pear and unless they were given the amount asked. the ov- erdraft would probably be -larger this year as a Government: grant usually -received would likely be withheld.
