BOARD OF FINANCE.

Health Officer VilllstOn Compliment.
 ed for HlB Efficient Work on the
 Smallpox Cases-The Bi1ls Paid.
 At 6 meeting of the board of finance last night the smallpox bills came up. Mayer York explained the financial difficulties of Burr Davis, regarding his losing his position and also his tenant on account of having smallpox in his house and of his inability to get another tenant. When MT. Davis pre- sented certain bills for clothing destroyed, medicine, etc., he was told by the Mayor that he could not recommend that the city pay them and they were thrown out. MT. Davis finally agreed to pay $20o on the undertaker's bill. The board voted to appropriate $500 for the payment of these bills.
 Each member of the board thought the board of health had done splendid work in this smallpox matter and especial praise was given Health Officer WilIiston for his efficient and untiring efforts in keeping the disease from spreading.
 Mayor York said the board of health had acted very promptly in the smallpox trouble and the delay was owing to the mistaken diagnosis of the first case by the physician first called. The Mayor warmly compli- mented Dr. Williston's action also.
 Alderman Bushnell was appointed sub- committee by the board to draft resolution of thanks to Health Officer Williston for his efficient work ,and that the same be presented to the common council, with . recommenda- tion that it be passed.
 Eli Whitney, jr.; of the board of public works appeared before the board and asked for the transfer of $1, ,000 from the paving account to the sidewalk and curbing account. It was granted.
 It was voted to pay Contractor Haney's bill of $167. 50 for the new gate on the Quin- nipiac bridge.

RAux HAVEN.

Faar Haven SfeamhOaGa That will
 Parade-6onfempIated Borough IIn-
 provemenas-G General Notes of 1n-
 terest.
 The burgesses of the borough of Fair Ha- ven have appointeda 6 committee consisting of Major Strong and LuzeTne Ludington to con- suit with the city authorities and find out how much it will cost to have three electric lights placed in the borough. It is proposed to have one of these lights placed at the cor ner of Grand avenue and Quinnipiac street, another at the corner of South Quinnlpiae and Meadow streets and anotner on North Quinnipiac street. There has been demand fer electric lights in the borough for some time, the kerosene lamps not giving light enough on dark nights to do much good. The committee will take steps to ind out all
 about it and will report at the next meeting.
 If it is not found too expensive It IS probable
 that the lights will soon be put up. The
 burgesses are also discussing the advisabihty
 of making arrangements to have several fire
 alarm boxes placed around the borough and
 to have steamer respond in case of ire. It
 would be necessary, however, to place nuIu-
 Der of hydrants about the town before such Q scheme could be practicable and 1t is prob able that it will be some little time yet before any definite arrangements can be made. The borough already has city school facilities, an efficient police, good means of transports tion to the city, and with the fire service contemplated it will enjoy all the advantages of the city, with less than hah the taxation. No wonder the borough is be- coming great residence place for city peo pie.

Fowler, Miss Hattie Dennison, Miss Jennie Forsyth and Irving Hurlburt are the committee that is ar \ ranging for the art gallery and old folks concert entertainment that is to be held a | the First church next Wednesday night.
