In regard to the three names next above,
viz: John Jackson, John Washington and a
n. Doyle, this appears on the minutes of a
town council August p, 1882
a communication addressed to the mayor
by Policemen jackson and Washington, ask
ing that their pay in scrip should be equal to
$500, was referred to the council and read,
the matter being under discussion.
On motion Of Alderman A. V. Mount, it was
allowed by the council that the pay in scrip of
all the officers be equal in value to the stfpu-
lated sum of their salaries in currency.
In the minutes of meeting of the town
council the following is found:
1t was, on motion, ordered that an order
made August p, 1882, allowing addition to the
officers pay be rescinded and their pay shall be
as heretofore thirty-ive dollars in scrip.

Oct 21st, D. A. BOyd............. 5000. - 1859
I was sick, very sick; / had no knowledge
that the council intended to meet on that date
They met, however, and appointed Mr.. J. H.
Mann to act clerk pro TEN. The minutes
state that he acted as such. The scrip was is
sued by his hand and have in my possession
a paper marked by him as a voucher, to wit:
Voucher SO, which reads as follows:
Balance due Mr.. Holden n..................S 8.98
As per bill for laying pipe and fixing cork A.. .92
Mr.. Holden returned on that date a scrip is
sued on the 18th, Of October for S8.9S, but
written twenty-five dollars. 1t was therefore
paid him in the bill under consideration and
the S8.98 scrip is now in the clerks office as
well as Mr.. Holden's bill. 1t is possible that I
mistook voucher 50 for 5000, or rather $50, and
so wrote it in the regular minutes.
