 Frederick RueI Futile, member of the city's board of relief, who had been dangerously i'll at his home, 135 Quinnt- piac avenue, Fair Haven, passed away early last evening. A few days ago he suffered stroke of paralysis and since then he had remained in a semi-coma- tose condition until his death. Dr. Ed win Hall, who attended him, said that his condition was critical from the HrsI and his recovery doubtful
 MT. Futile had been on the board ot relief several years and was generally well known. He was also registrar of the Fourteenth ward, position he was first appointed to twenty years ago and had held ever since. He was connected with his father in the oyster business. though not actively for a number Of years past, his health not having been good. He was a prominent member and vestryman of St. James P. D. church, Fair Haven East, and was citizen much respected in the communi- ty by all and his death will be much deplored. He leaves to deeply mourn his demise his father and mother, wife, a son and two daughters. The funeral arrangements are not yet com- pletd.,
 In view of MT. Tuttle's death it may be recalled that George E. Mitchell, who had served several years on the board of relief with him, died only a few weeks ago.
 The situation regarding the firemen's interests in the borough of Fair Haven East seems to have been settled at the borough meeting Monday. The matter was pretty well fought out, although those opposed to the firemen's tax say that many taxpayers who would have opposed the tax are out of town, else the tax would not have been carried. After the vote Walter Leigh remarked Now we are all happy family" and this is as it should be. There should be no trouble between the fremen, tax payers and citizens in general. The meeting broke up in such hurry Mon- day night that no committee was ap- pointed to carry into effect the vote to purchase a chemical combination fire carriage and for repairs to the engine house. The three -quarter-mill tax will raise about $500 and it is said that the chemical apparatus can be secured for s7O0, giving $100 for repairs. The war den and burgesses, under the vote, can wait year before buying the chemical, as twelve months will elapse before all the taxes will be paid and there is noth ing in the vote to make it operative at once. The firemen evidently forgot about a committee in the joy of their success. About everybody concludes that a chemical will be a good thing, and this was shown in the big vote which this object secured. It was quite a modified proposition to the removal of the engine house, which stirred up much opposition. After all, Walter Jeigfl's remark seems to be about true.
