yards of pike built on the Newstead
road at Mrs. Coleman's farm.
A contract was closed with r. F.

more pike is to be constructed on
this road.
The matter of piking the road
from Pembroke to Fairview was re-
ferred to the road supervisor, with
power to act.
1t appearing to the court that one
of the contractors for building a sec
ton of pike on one of the roads of
the county is not carrying out the
spirit and letter of the contract, j.
NJ. Morris, j. F. Dixon and J. K.

To the Council.

At the beginning of the new year
/ shall address you more at length,
as is my custom. but desire at this
time to make recommendations upon
matters that, in my judgment, call
for early action. In order of their
Importance these matters are:
First-The liquor license for 1908
should be placed at $1,000, with a
limit on the number of saloons. This
action should be taken at once, to
enable liquor dealers to make their
arrangements accordingly.
Second-All ordinances should be
passed before the election of city
officers defining the duties of the
various officers whose duties are not
clearly and plainly fixed by the
charter.
ThiTd-Provisions should be made
for more efficient committee work.
An appropriation of $3.50 for each
councilman for one stated commit
tee meeting each month would great
ly facilitate the transaction of public
business and enable much of the
councils work to be outlined in sys-
tematic committee meetings.
Fourth-The salary list should be
carefully revised. The police force
especially should be given a sub
