Mr.. Davis presented a communicate on
from the Camden Iron Works, recommend
ing the substitution of direct acting feed
pump with the new engine in place OF the
independent one as specified in the pump
contract, with the same guarantee. Mr..
Davis stated that the committee had gone
over the proposition, and recommended its
adoption. Mr. Reading also advocated the
change. Mr. Henderson thought it strange
that contractor should come in now and
offer to give the city something better than
was originally contracted for. He could
not help viewing it with suspicion. The
proposition was adopted.
Mr.. Davis stated that the contractors for
the pump were at the station preparing to
remove the old Gordon & Maxwell pump.
Mr.. Henderson moved that S21 be trans
ferred from Incidental to Poor fund, 81
from Incidental to that Of Fire, and $l7.73
to that of Property. Carried.
On motion of Mr.. Davis the Solicitor
was given the privilege of the floor and ex-
planned that the contract and bond with
sewer contractors had been submitted to
him, thence to the representative OF the
Surety Company in Camden, and cited
some matters in the bond which he deemed
not strictly in accordance with right word
ing.
Ga motion of Mr.. Reading, the bond was
referred back to the Solicitor to be put IN
proper shape.
Mr. Carroll requested the appointment
of John Schruber as special policeman for
the opera house, but as he was non-resl-

JOHN NJ. HENDERSON.
