| building matter and that it was through
an order introduced by him at the last
city council meeting that the report given
Wednesday, for the first time Alderman
i3outelIe viewed the plans of the plans
of the proposed building.

George II, simpson be appointed as po-
lice officer, he having been employed and
still to remain as an employee of the NJ

tion. Mayor Redington nominated Mr.

ton. Mr.. Halde was present and said NJ

Mr.. Halde and an arrangement was made
whereby the city may have the use OF
MIR. Halde's sprinkler and standpipes for
$50 for month and if the city afterward
concludes to buy, that $50 will go on the
payment for the same.

To the City Council:

These sums. as estimated by the commit

than we desire, as If the valuation now
being taken by the assessors should BE-
less or even the same as last year, the
rate will be considerably more than . per

must bo cut down so as to make no NOR

very evident that we must be very careful
in considering the calls for any new eX-

amount of notes, some of which ought to
