The bill of DIR. w. L. Even, of Allo-
way, for $52, for examination OF insane
at the County Hospital, and viewing the
bodies of a number of deceased persons

Committee on Claims, as it was claimed
that the bill, with the exception OF SIS,
belonged to the Almshouse Trustees.
The committee subsequently recon-
mended the payment OF the SIS, as the
examination of the insane patients had
been ordered by a committee of the
Board.
A petition was presented, from certain
citizens of Alloway, stating that in the

through the village of Alloway, and that
the land lying along the proposed road is
now properly drained and that the filling
in is likely to throw the surface water IN
abutting properties, and asking that
adequate arrangements be made for
disposing of this surface water, so that
the abutting properties will not be
burdened with any more then the natural

owners on the line of the road, and that
the road would be raised and would
not divert the water from the cutters and
