ton was granted on the recommendation
of the license collector.
The payroll of the department for the
current month, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $5,715, was approved.
Dr. Morrison, a veterinary surgeon,
presented demand for $4 for examining
the feet of one of the patrol-wagon
horses; but, as he had not been officially

the horses for the patrol wagon up for
discussion, and the chief informed the
board that the bay horse purchased
from Mr. Lindley by the supply COM
mittee some time ago was utterly use
less, his feet having been diseased,
