BOARD OF TRADE.-At the regular
weekly meeting of the board, held last
Monday evening, matters of importance
connected with proposed amendments to
the village charter were under discussion.
The members of the village council were
present and took an active part in the dis

it is proposed to draft into the form of a
bill and present to the legislature. Some Of
the more important tl'anges are, to give
the council greater powers in the copstruc

that the treasurer and recorder shall give
bonds i'm s., 900 each, and the marshal in
the sum of 81 ,ONi; to provide for the APP

changes in the election board. These were
the more important changes recommt nded
by the committee, the consideration of
which occupied the time of the session.
