expenses Of the trustees of the poor, and
that he had paid over to the trustees
$40, 600, leaving 81 468 in his hands.
Mr.. Silver on behalf of the committee
appointed to visit the new county build
iDgs, offered resolution to the effect that

of the court oonsiting of Messrs. Shall
GROSS, Silver, Febiger, Taylor and Maokey
had been called on the small. pox que5
tion at the Jail. He then stated the

gether and do what he pleased"
Mr.. Silver said that he admitted the

Mr.. Febiger said that he wo uld like to
mention TO the court that the build
ing OF vessel 80 feet wide in this

wide. This therefore, would have to be
widened to let the vessel pass through.

court at its next meeting to consider the
advisability of building new bridge at
Third street.
Mr.. Silver offered a resolution to the
effect that the matter of furnishing new
cook stove for the jail OF New Castle
county be referred to the building COM
mittee with power to act. The resolution
was lost by tie vote.
On motion of Mr.. Taylor, the court
