distribution entirely this was due no doubt to the fact that the school at ss 6 was burned and the scholars are attending gormley school until the new proposed school is built ss no 6 is paying for their pupils going to an outside school and the section is entitled to its share of the distribution i wouldnt sign the cheques unaer that distribution said reeve evans attention was also drawn to the
