ral matters of great importance to thu
and it is thought that the

own. IS well as a radical change fol
he better government of the town.
The usual bills were presented and as
be treasury is now practically empty,
hey we're laid over for the next meet
az. Collections as reported by the
olleetor for January were not sufi-
ient to meet the current expenses by
iearly one hundred dollars.
The new Board of Health was named
y fhe President of Council, and Mr.
Hharles G. Fisher, Esq, was named to
mceead the late Philip Graham, who

.omposed the board for 1904 is as fol

That the large sign at the Milford depot
.hat had been ordered down by Coun-
I'LL has been removed, and that the
pmmittee in charge of public property
we're Regulating with the railroad peo-
bic to lease the land to them for the
purpose of making a landscape garden
which would greatly enhance the lat

houses, clothing, persons, and secure
lbsolute afety fIOm cOntagiOn, while
he old custom of de-troying clothing {
4 value and furniture, will not be nee
ssary any more.

il to be held next Monday evening. {
It has been a matter of conjecture +
2 to What becomes Of the badges sup /
lied to the regular and special police, v
nd for several months past there has 1
cen a shortage of those articles. A 1
ew lot has been secured which have Fl
le name and number of the town of c
Iilford enameled on them, and it j. e
thought that this will stop
ie loss of these articles.
The following resolution was adopted
: unanimous vote of Council: i,
Resolved, That the police officers to be elected =
this Council shall conform to the following G
less and shall besworn into office only after they o.

per policing OF the town re
e P. NJ. they shall be relieved from street a,
rks when they shall don their uniforms and DO
Z the town until the usual hour. a.
for several years there has been dis h'
sslon of the advisability Of the town s'i
ming a horse and cart for the pur- m
fe of assisting in hauling the hose pr
q book and ladders to and from fires Sa
q since the adoption of the resolution fr'
luiriHg the police to keep the streets an
order, the purchase of Il horse will is
good business for the town. This co
