BOARD OF SAFETY
Bill of $2il For Repairs 10 New
 AuIo Truck.

The board of public safety got to-.
 gether at 5 o'clock yesterday after
 noon to transact routine business.
 Commissioner Malone was reported
 on the sick list and Commissioner
 Phillips absent from town. This left
 Commissioners Minor, Griffin and
 Lewis to do whatever was to be done.
 That was not much. A license to
 run pool and billiard room was
 granted to Pasquale Rinaldi. West
 Main street. Edward E. Laughlin,
 who was hurt while exercising the
 horses of Engine company No was
 recommended to be kept on the pay
 roll, and it was so voted.
 uperintendent-of-Po Beach
 sent in a check for $50 from Uncle
 Sam, being the amount of the re-
 ward for the capture of the army
 deserter, Fred Ryan. The check was
 referred to the committee on disci-
 pline, as the board did not know what
 to do with it. Ryan was arrested for
 non-support of his young wife and
 one child and while in the station
 house Detective William P. Reagan
 recognized him as a deserterj whom
 Uncle Sam had been looking for a l long time. The man was taken to
 Fort Slocum week ago by MT Kee-
 gan, who received the check as the | usual reward.
 It was voted to give Supernumer- ary Timothy J. Mccarthy an honor able discharge, as he will be 35 years of age on December 25. Thirty-two
 is the limit for supernumeraries. A bill for $211 for repairs to the automobile supply wagon caused some astonishment, but it was al. | lowed.
