Mr.. Wittie said he had found in the
last two or three Annual Statements
that about 5000 Was reported
as a shortage of an ex-Treas-
urer, and thought it matter that
should be investigated, lfthe amount
is due the town, steps should be taken
to recover it if not, strike it off the
books. He moved the appointment Of
a committee of three, of which Mr..
Lammert should be one, to look into
the matter and report soon as practi-
cable.
Mr.. Lammert said the matter should
be submitted to the entire Council and
suggested a cali of a special meeting
therefor.

The Street committee reported bad
places on pavements and stagnant
pool of water in front of the Eichhorn
property on Broadway. They recon-
mended that Broadway be cut down
from the avenue to a depth sufficient to
carry the water past Loo street; also
double crossing from Boughton's to
the schoolhOuse corner, and one across
Loo street at Maurey's corner. At
this point they thought one Of the
boilers should be placed and cutting
done so as to make team passage easy.
Mr.. Gunnett said if Committee
would begin to cut down in front of
j. B. Oder's house and terminate at
Augustine Alexander's the difficulty
would be remedied. Mr.. Wittig said
81 900 would put Broadway in proper
shape.
