"That the sum of one hundred pounds be placed on the estimates this year, ; and every subsequent year, until the present overdraw is paid off, and yearly afterwards such larger sum as the Trustees may see fit to vo'*\ and that this fund be made* avallable for the general equipment of such institution as may be established in the Mas-V-rton Small Farm Area, or the borough of Masterton, for higher education,"
In submitting the resolution, Mr Jackson stated that his i*6a.a>ns' for moving were: (1) mat 'something practical may bo cone in the matt:: of assisting highi r education.
