 The town will take possession of the oAace in the second story of the city hall, now occupied by the mayor, on March 1, and Mayor Sargent will be compelled to seek quarters in another part of the hall. This was the action decided upon at the meeting of the board of eelectmen last evening.
 The committee on construction, consist ing of Selectmen Pohlman, Cunningham and Stahl, to whom was referred the peti- ton of the board of assessors and board of relief asking for more room in the city hall, reported that they were unanimously in favor of granting the petition and recom- mended that the town take possession of the office now occupied by the mayor and give that room to the tax collector.
 Selectnen Gilbert and Forbes were of the opinion that the town Chad fooled long enough with the city in this matter" and that some decisive action should be taken in the matter immediately.
 Ssleotman Cunningham, the third mem ber of the committee. opposed the eviction of the mayor, but did not make any mi nority report to the board.
 After . general discussion 1t was voted to accept the report and adopt the recom- mendations of the committee, |, and the clerk 1uu tA1 4~ e~rk k1,a, kInkk k1,, town would require the room now occupied by him in the city hall not later than March l. Both these votes were passed without dissenting voice.
 The bids for tho burial of the town dead, which were laid on the table at the last meeting, were opened and the contract awarded. There were but two bidders, Cox 6 Henze and Frank Kesnan. Cox 6 Hense's bid called for the burial of all per- sons under three years of age for 8 50 @ person, over three years and under twelve years 50 cents, and adults $11. Frank Keenan's bid was 8 50 person for all under three years. $s 50 for all over three years and under twelve years, and SIS 50 for adults. As Cox & Henzs's bid was the lowest the contract was awarded to them, though there was considerable surprise manifested at their bid of 50 cents for the interment of persons between the ages of three years and twelve years.
 James R. Mackenzie, a baker on Congress avenue, put in 6 bid offering to supply
 bread to the town at Springside far m at the rate of three cents per pound. This Is the same rate as at present paid. The bid was received andflscsd on Ale.
 On motion of Selectmsn Pohlman 1t was voted to hereafter have the town accounts audited every six months, instead of once year, as has been the custom in the past. Selectmen Gilbert and Cunningham were appointed a committee of the board to au- dit the accounts of the registrar of vital statistics for the past year.
 Attorney William 8. Pardee was reap pointed town counsel for tho ensuing year. Daniel Lswler and P. H. Carrigan were appointed road masters for the en- suing year ct the same salary as last year, and John J.
