Burgesses Key holds, Schotield and Finnegan were appointed a committee to confer with the Water company Thursday night to talk over the matter of the alleged poor service the Water company has been giving. Some weeks ago q bill came before the board and held up as they did not think the borough was getting the service they should. F. NJ. Booth asked for scavenger's license and was granted it. The bill of Dr Bull for SIS for inspecting the child ren of the Pond Hill school district few weeks ago was presented. At that time a child was taken ill with scarlet fever that attended the school and it was decided by the warden to have all the children inspected so as to check the disease if any of the other children showed any signs of having it. Dr Bull was ordered to do the work. The salary of Assistant Health Officer William l.. Lloyd was fixed at $500 year. The descriptive survey of Johnson street was read and ac- cepted. The vote reyoking the junk dealers license of Michael Weinsteln was rescinded. Mike has been in New Haven for the past six months doing business and as he desired to return to the borough, claimed the borough could not keep him from living here as he had lived here sixteen years. Mike presented his case pretty cleverly and the board gave him a chance.

 At. the meeting of the board of war den and burgesses last evening Health Officer Baker recommended that the board take up the matter of ererting q contagious disease hospital. and he thought that the sooner it was done the better. He said that TO one knew at what time a contagious disease would break out and become epidemic and the town would then have no place Of this kind anI be in q very serious position. The fact that one is SOrply needed here was demonstrated last week when Paul PreutzeI. the musician. was taken sick with diDh- tlIrria at his room in the HO,lS0n block and after Warden RO1enba.II had tried tn vain to get him place where others would not catch it. he had q room fitted up at the Town farm and had him taken there. Health OfficeT Baker says that if a case of smallpox should break out he would have nO place to put the patient. Ii was Jhe opinion of the hoarsI that something ought to Ise done in this matter and it is probable that a hos pital will be built at the Town farm.
