deceased soldiers, whether they have
means or not. The director said the ex-
pense is paid only in cases where poverty
exists. Mr.. Gale objected to at least one
of the bills presented. In that case the
deceased had been member OF two
lodges and also had his life insured for
small amount.
Mr.. Seeds said the bills were paid be-
cause the families claimed poverty. He
did not know of the circumstances re-
ferred to by Mr.. Gale.
A resolution was passed instructing the
collector to pay no bills hereafter for the
burial of deceased soldiers or sailors I'M
til they have been passed by the board.
A bill from Coroner Charles Heisler,
the defaulting deputy surrogate, for $3.50,
for viewing the body of Russell Lippin-
colt, was read. 1t was sent from Chicago
and was attested by notary in that city.
1t was laid on the table on account OF not
being dated.
The county clerk was authorized to
procure a book in which to record the
names of any persons who may become
naturalized, and receive the same fee as
allowed for filing legal papers.
Mr.. Herbert was granted an increase of
So 600 to complete a bridge in Borden
town township.
A committee of five was asked to view
the site of new bridge on road just
laid out in Springfield. Messrs. Zelley,
Packer, Dennis, Storey and Kinsley were
appointed.
The committee on the Bridgeboro'
bridge was granted an increase of $4,000
to finish the same.
A resolution was introduced to allow
the sheriff the rate of rs cents per day
for board of prisoners, an increase of five
cents.
Mr.. Hoffiinger asked that the resolution
passed in August, 1890, on this question,
be read. That resolution provided that
the rate of board be twenty-five cents af-
ter the expiration of Sheriff Harbert'e
term.
Mr.. Hofiiinger said when the resolution
was passed no one knew who would be
the next sheriff. There was no political
work about it then, and the resolution
seemed very fair. The taxpayers demand
less expenses. The increase would make
difference of about 81 500 per year.
Mr.. Herbert wanted to know wha
would be done in relation to the old reso
luton before the new one is passed. Di
rector Perkins thought it would have tt
be rescinded.
Mr.. Marter said when the 20 cent pc
day resolution was passed no one votet
against it. They did not then expect |
