fOlACcs
 The warden and burgesses were booked to meet last night at o'clock, but It took fully forty minutes for a portion of the board to meet in the hallway and express themselves in regard to the writer of the anonymous letter directed to the demo- cratic warden aud burgesses that appeared in the DEMOCRAT last night, more es- pecially as MT Glynn had made a motion at previous meeting that Hosford be re- duced to patrol duty, which was not seconded. After the reading of the min utes by the clerk, the report of the health officer was received and accepted. It was voted to pay the health officer fifty cents an hour for actual time employ ed; also the same to Chief Fuller for services rendered as fire marshal and taking care of fire alarm system. A motion was made that saloons be permitted to keep open until midnight. It was voted down. plan for sewer pipe on Hillside extension and Meadow street was received and laid on the table. The matter of laying borough tax, of sidewalks on a number of streets, the collection of taxs soon due, the propri- ety of superintendent of the poor being member of the board of charities, were all freely discussed.

Three hundred and eighty-fve dogs were registered up to last night of which three parties. Robert B. Morse, Dennis J. German and Mrs Charles Spencer have paid the tax on females. This is little | over half the dogs in the borough. Yesterday while Town Clerk Hearns, who collects the dog tax, was doing some busi- ness at house, the lady brought out a mother and seven beagle hound pups. to show what a nice family It was. The town clerk said nothing, but made up his I mind that there were more female dogs in town than were registered.

 Now thHt the board of charities i4 operative it is well that our citizens should be informed of their powers and duties. which they may carry out themselves or delegate to others. which latter they are very liable to do as they are not to receive any compensation for their services. Said board will have the general superinten- dence, management and control of all | affairs relative to poor persons, insane persons and imbeciles. They become the overseers of the poor, and at the expense of | the town provide all articles nI c sssary for the subsistence of all paupers. They pos sess all the powers relative to the support, control and removal of paupers; to the giv- ing and receiving of notices from other towns; to the appointment of conservators, of guardians, overseers of spendthrifts; the confinement of habitual drunk ards, dipsomaniacs and persons iaddicted to the immoperate use of narcotics to the custody of insane convicts confinement of insane persons to commitments and removals from the Connecticut industrial school for girls and boys; to contracting for the insane poor at Hartford to the burial of paupers to delivering bodies for dissection to the burial of deceased soldiers and sailors to say to whom money for soldiers orphans shall be paid; to re- turning.list of soldiers and orphans to com- ptroller to the visitation and inspection of boarding houses and nursuries for infants to make returns as regard deaf dumb and blind persons; to give foundlings iu adoption; to indenturing of apprentices from services ; to forbidding the giving, selling or delivering of intoxicating liquors. Said board shall also have con. trol and management of town farm and town hall so called in borough; also power tC force attendance and testlmonyof witnesses to commit for contempt in the same mar. ner and to the same extent as the superior court for New Haven county; to admin ister oaths by its chairman. and wilfu and false swearing before it shall con stitute the crime of perjury.
