The old land mark Of Cheever Land
ing, the old original steamboat landing
of the days of early navigation, is to be
preserved, according to the present plans
of the park commission. The landing is
now included in the East River Bank
Parkway, and it is proposed to make it a
small park, and retain the old name,
Cheever Landing. The idea was Com
missioner Haugan's. That "Old Cheever'
is to be preserved in this manner, will be
especially gratifying to Capt. J. 9. Reno
and other old timers.

Tue only department which will not
be- able to get through the year on it's ap.
preparation is the fire department., and it
looks now as if the tiremen would not be
paid in full for December. The first of
next month there Will be about $4,000 in
the fire department fund and the pay
roll for December will probably amount
to $4,000. The deficit in this depart
ment is not surprising when the amount
Of work that was called for is taken into
consideration. The other departments
will show small SURPRISES, and this in
the face of greatly reduced appropria-
tions over the previous year.
