Division, $. of IT,, Entertainment a

| Success.
On Monday, June will be held the
annual business meeting of the borough
of Fair Haven East in the borough
hall, better known as the engine house.
The meeting will listen to the annual
report Of the treasurer, o. A. Rose,
and will vote the annual tax on the
grand list. The present tax rate is 6
mills, but with the increased grand list
it is the purpose to lay tax Of only
mills. The present borough indebt-
edness. is about $4,000. There has been
no reduction of debt this year. 1t is
the opinion of many that the borough
will be merged with the city in all mu-
nicipal matters in a few years, and it
is the desire that the city should as
sumo this debt Accordingly 1t will
probably be considered more practic-
able to pay the interest than to eXtin-
guish the debt So far as known, no
new bolough improvements will be
considered. No new electric lights are
petitioned for, and in fact no more
lights could be provided without
increasing the tax. The street lights,
police and fire department are the
principal matters assumed by the
borough government. 1t is expected
the borough meeting will be we'll at
tended.
