CAMEWELL ALARM SYSTEM PURCHASED

A regular meeting of the Holly Beach
Borough Council was held last night.
Mayor Smith and Councilmen Albig,
Matsinger, Nickerson, Rauch and
Woolston were present, as were also
Clerk Hewitt and Solicitor Voorhees,.
Mr.. Nickerson reported going to New
York to investigate the Gamewell fire
alarm system and recommended that
the apparatus be purchased at the
price of $2,325. By motion of Wool
ston and Nickerson the report was re-
ceived and the system ordered pur-
chased at the above figure. All MEM
bers voted for the purchase except
Matsinger, who opposed it. Mr.. Mat
singer asked where the money was
coming from to purchase the system,
and he was told that the revenue this
year from liquor licenses would amount
to over $4,000 and it was proposed to
Use this money for that purpose. Mr..
Matsinger thought this money had
better be used in paying off bonds.
The clerk stated that he had written
to number of banks in an effort to
try to dispose of improvement certifi-
Gates, but without results. The solicit
tor reported that it was almost impos
sible to sell bonds or certificates with
the present tight condition of the
money market. The report of the
Commissioners of Assessment in the
paving of Pacific avenue was referred
back to the Commission for correction.
The solicitor reported that the $4,000
refunding bond issue had been approx
ed and that as soon as they were signed
Grant q Co. was prepared to turn
over the money to the borough, and
suggested that arrangements be made
TO deliver the bonds and get the mon
ey. BY motion of Woolston the f.
nance committee and solicitor were in
| structed 10 take the eonds to 61ant ~
Co. at New York and get the money.

Der of bills.
