dered discounted in anticipation OF
taxes. Alderman Owen reported a
meeting to consider the communica-
tion of the board of freeholders rela-
tive to the payment of the third Of

tee Of the Fire Department Charita-
BILE fund to succeed himself.
Mayor Reed suggested an appropria-
tion for the fire companies to pay the
usual amounts.
Alderman Thompson moved that
$500 be appropriated, stating that by
some hook or crook the companies had
not received their usual sums last year.
Alderman Owen moved that the
companies be paid the 1905 appropria-
tions.

or crook about the matter, but that
the payment had been inadvertently
omitted, probably because of the
changing Of the fiscal year Of the
board. There was no intention he
said to defraud the companies.
Alderman Owens M otion was
adopted.

tion might prove good.

to the Board of Health on the appro-
priation for the current year.
