 Mayor Martin sent in to the board his appointment of Henry T. Blake, president of the park commissioners as Q member of the new record com mission, which the general assembly authorized at the last session,
 The appointment has to be ratified by the board, which was unanimous ly done last night.
 Then came up the ordinance for licensing the keeping for sale of H. luminating fluids, and this, the last matter of importance which was talk en up by the board was also referred back to the ordinance committee, which has had the matter under con slderation for some time. This did not go back to the committee, how ever, without some debate. There was | opposition to 1t on the ground that It was not correctly framed and put too heavy tax on small dealers. All derman Healy said that 1t was inten- ded to refer to the large dealers main- 1 ly and control them, but under It's 1 provisions those who even kept one

 think 1t right ordinance to pass and
 others thought that 1t did not cover
 the situation as 1t should be covered, so 1t had better go back 10 the com
 mlttee to be reframed.
 A resolution was passed that spe- cial committee of five be appointed to
