Washington Steamer Co., reciting
that the company paid it's janitor
more than the amount of the appro-
priation and had doubled the dues of
the members, yet still is unable to
make both ends meet. They asked
an increase in appropriation to $3.50.
Chairman Owens later on reported
that the appropriation to that COM
pany could not be increased without
like increases to the other companies
and that did not seem possible at
present.
A memorial from the Memorial Hos
pital called attention to the expense
of maintaining the Barker Pavilion
for Contagious Diseases, which is con-
Quoted largely for the benefit of the
Board of Health and the general well
fare of the town. Most of the pa
tients sent there are unable to pay
for their board and the hospital is
obliged to pay the cost from the gen.
eral funds. The Board Of Heath
made appropriations for several years,
but has stopped because of lack of
funds. The cost Of maintenance has
increased with the increased cost of
goods and the hospital management
felt that the town should set aside a
fund from which the Board of Health
could pay for the maintenance of pa
tients unable to pay and recommend
ed that this amount be 81, 900. No ac-
ton was taken, but inasmuch as the
estimate for the year includes an item
of $500 for this purpose, it is to be
supposed that that sum will be avail
able.

the usual tax ordinance, calling for
the raising by taxation of $4,000,
which was passed under suspension of
