The meeting appeared further dls
&ati(I"d with thu dollar matching

was something unexplained, but in
creasingly distasteful as more of the
dollar matching propositions were
brought to light. Why should the
government reach out iuto local affairs
for administration and control? Tho
tenth resolution wan adopted placing
tho meeting against the whole dollar
