is occupied as above indicated, our only information on the subject being that conveyed in your favor of the 5th inst. The fact of the occupancy of the building must have been intentionally kept from us as the Sec'y of the Board has been met on more than one occasion & school matters canvassed, but no mention made of this fact. It is believed that this office has no control over the question of rent as the case now stands.
