Green calling for the issuance Of $3.50 in bonds
for the extension OF Croton MAINS in accordance
with the law of 1873. This resolution was put by
President Wheeler and carried unanimously.
Deputy Comptroller Storrs then produced huge
tome containing the taxes and assessments, and
began to read columns OF uninteresting figures,
when the Comptroller turned to the reporters ana
said that such would be the business OF the even
Ing, and he did not believe they would arrive
at any ineligible result and sucn could be put
before the public at the present session. He added
that far regards the celebration OF the Fourth
of July, he had no doubt the Board would make
such appropriation for the celebration OF the holi-
day as would be proper, and this appropriation
would be placed in the hands of the Commissioners
OF Parks, as has been the practice for the past few
years.
The remaining members OF the Board soemnly
