The meeting of the board Of finance
last evening was a somewhat lengthy
one Alexander Troup appeared before
the board in reference to the bill Of the
general REGISTRARS which was up for ap-
proval. The bill amounts to $1S53. Mr..
Troup asked the board not to approve
the bill until it was accompanied by an
itemized statement and vouchers, and
the board so voted after tabling the bill
until the next meeting. Neither of the.
general registrars was at the meeting,
but after the meeting General Registrar
Hamilton was seen and he said that the
itemized statement and the vouchers
We're in the general registrars desk,
and he had supposed that they had been
presented to the board OF finance by Mr..
Foley when he rendered the account.
He said it must have been an oversight,
but thatsit would be speedily rectified,
and that they would be presented to the
board of finance in accordance with its
wish.
President Blake of the park commits
sion board, appeared before the board
and asked for an additional appropria-
tion of $1,000 to be used In completing
the children's playground at Edgewood
park. It was voted to give this amount
from the contingent fund, SO the work
can now be carried on.
All the city court attaches put in their
bills for services in that court. OF these
only two were granted last evening.
Tyner and $S3.33 to Assistant Clerk
/ Law. These were sanctioned by Mr..
Dow and Mr.. MatheWson. The rest Of
the bills were tabled and referred to the
corporation counsel
Bills for services were also presented
by the employees in the tax collectors
office, in accordance with the increases
which had been voted some months ago
by the board of finance. These in
creases were afterwards cut down by
the board Of aldermen. SO last evening
the finance board simply signed for the
regular amount and dropped the in
creases Joseph Fl. Hughson. Joseph
w. Kent and Joseph Calm asked for the
additional $16.67 for the past four
months, while w. J. Burke asked for
an additional $7.67 for the same time.
| Senator Whitney and Mr.. Wheeler, of
the board of education, appeared last
might and stated that the board wanted
| to buy coal for the schools for the rest
of the year, but that it did not have
money enough to do SO. AT present
/ there is deficiency of s3,31SS1, and
they ask for an additional appropria-
| tion of $500. It was voted to postpone
action on the matter until the next
meeting, although it was understood
that the request would likely be grant
| ed at that time.
A report was received from the fire
commissioner concerning the purchase
| of site for the new Ninth ward en-
gine house. The commissioners have
selected a lot on DixWell avenue, just
above Muncon street and adjoining the
Beaver Pond park. Tt is SO S-10xS3S feet
and the purchase price is about $35 a
foot, or $1,S00. It is owned by George
land Edward r. Stevens. The appropri-
alton for this was $1,000, SO that the
purchase price will be 5000 under this
amount. The fire commissioners think
the site is a good one, so the finance
board sanctioned the purchase last
