John G. Hunter offered to paint foul
truck Il engine houses with two coats
and repair IL paint the First ward bell
tower for 1924. Valentine Holzapfel
offered to do the work for S24 less and he
got the contract. President Goddard
does not believe it is enough to cover the
cost of repairing and painting the bell
tower alone.
Several vetoes were received from
Mayor Newman and they were filed. In
the matter of changing the grade of a
street, it,can only be doneEby..an ordinance
and not by resolution, which would be q
violation of section 40 of the city charter.
That the Board can refuse to grant a non
resident q junk license without the ne

The United Gas Improvement Com
pany are laying a gas main from their
works in Bergen Point, along Avenue c
to Greenville. The company did not ask
permission to tear up Avenue G for this
purpose, n this Councilman Cronin con-
sidered was decidedly wrong.
The petition from the Board of Educa-

for the completion of School No. o, was
granted, but instead of the bonds the
Board will receive the cash, which will be
taken from the amount received tor

piece of the city property ON First street,
Bergen Point, for q dumping ground.
President Goddard informed the Board
that the stencil arising from the garbage

evils complained of, wa adopted.

than one hundred experiment stations and

will dissolve. They fail in two ways
first because they do not make q saturat-
ed brine, to begin with second, because
they do not take into account the fresh
water left In the butter from washing.
This, therefore, dilutes the brine that Is
added for sailing, and the butter, having
only weak brine In 1t and too much

give 1t the requtise saltiness, does not

added to the butter before or after brin-

With this precaution, brine sailing with
saturated brine made Of pure salt will be
satisfactory. But 1t Is just as we'll, and
