 The bills that were contracted for rubber boots and various other things on account of the big fire in February will undergo another review before final action will be taken upon them. The committee representing the board of safety in this matter looked over the bills this forenoon. It was found that the bills for pulling down ruins amount to about $400. As this work was or dered done by the city there may be no further delay in paying the bills. But the bills for boots, coffee, sand wiches, etc. may make more music. The committee decided that so far as the bills for boots are concerned all of the boots for which bills have been sent to the board must be returned to the board before definite action Will be decided upon. This action was taken in order to ascertain who got the boots and whence came the authority to give them.
