 Meat, Mammoth Market Go. 7B cents pound for fresh beef and ' cehts TOT corned beef. The members or the board were stunned with the iilsh prlces. During the past three 1 months the beef for the Brookside nome mas been costing the board of enarltles cents a pound for fresh peer ana 3R cents for corned beef me new prices are twice as much superintendent Doran said that if would be better to order sschuck' beef at cents pound as there would bc iess waste.

 During this discussion one of the commissioners remarked that the Mammoth Market Go had lost 500 q week Tor the past month on their con Lract Tor furnishing meat to the Brookside home during the past three months. This was due to the big YSse in the price of meat.
 superintendent Doran stated tbat another well will be dug soon at tba town farm. He also reported that ba had exchanged two cows, unprofitabla TOT dairy purposes, for one that is ana also that he had bought five nigs III reply to question of Mayor XII uuI, whether pig raising was q nrofit- able venture, he said that pigs inst about paid their way.
 Attention was called by Mayor KiI- uuH to the fact that the almsbonsa account showed an expenditure of 1 9l,oS5.2O during the month of AnriI 1T the expenses for each month wera as great, the expenses would exceed the appropriation, $14,OOO. The ra. ply was that the expenses for the year could not be based upon the expenses during any one month.
 Dr Ballard was appointed city phy- slclan Tor the ensuing month.
 1 superintendent Doran was author- 1zed to ask the directors of the Wate1.- bury hospital to admit patients at the city physicians request. The pres ent rule causes much inconvenience. one of the visiting physicians on the nospltal list must give the order for | admission.
 In regard to the Burns property on R1Ver street, Superintendent Doran stated that he had gone to Massacbu- setts and had seen Mrs Burns and her son, Officer Ranney. The latter demanded sum of money not less than $500 before he would sign a quit claim. One or two of the commits sioners thought that this was rather reasonable inasmuch as it would cost the city about that much to support Mrs Burns if she lived five years l longer. For by an agreement made ! several years ago the town agreed to give Peter Burns and his wife a com fortable living during their life on the condition that when they died the | house on River street would become city property. Since that time MT Burns has died. For the past year Mrs Burns has been living in home for aged women in Holyoke, where she went after enjoying a short visit 1 with her son. Policeman Thomas Ran ney of Springfield.
 It is probable that the city will give $500 for a quit claim and will then sell the property.
