The Board also record- ed in the minutes approved by the Council endorsement of the proce- dure requiring that proof be fur- nished that the grants allocated during the previous year had been expended for the purposes "for which they were allocated.

At the Board meeting. the Superintendent of Education sub- mitted a report, with recommen- dations regarding the purposes for which the grants-in-ald for 1934 are to be used.
