The bill of Mr.. Drudery for cleaning lamps,
So 10, caused considerable discussion. J. b
Smith said his understanding was that the
public were to keep the lamps in order with
out extra pay. Johnson said we had three
men to do the work that two did last year and
they were each getting more pay. Heeouldn't
see the reason for it. Malone said last year
one of the police lived in Jersey City and drew
his nav. Now they attended to business and
had made several arrests7-the old police, did
not make any arrests. He thought the bill
ought to be paid. So thought others of the
third Warders. The bill was ordered paid.

SIS from the months, services of each. Ma
lone said they did not know their duty until
recently ~. B. Smith said he had told them
and they had paid no attention to him. Jos.
Smith was in favor of startnginow and de-
Quoting 81 for every night that the lamps were
not lighted when they should be. Burnett
moved to amend-that 81 be deducted in flu
ture for every night improperly omitte t.
Adopted, and the resolution, as amended,
