Anger avenue. A. w. Carroll, presiding.
Several communications were presented
by the secretary from the Commissioners
bearing on local improvements for the

ted a final report, consideration of which
was deferred until the next regular meet

called to the item in the appropriation
bill for supplies for the upkeep of volun-
teer fire companies in the suburbs, which
if passed will relieve the citizens of the
maintenance of the Garfield company. as
has been done during the past winter.
John Pleasant, speaking for the local
| fire company. reported that a slight blaz
was discovered in the parsonage a few
days ago and was promptly extinguished
with but little damage. This was the
| first fire in the village since the organi-
cation of the fire company.
H. w. Lewis. principal of the Garfield
! School, came in for a general expression
! of praise for his work when the attention
| Of the association was called to the va
cipal. and it was unanimously voted to
| indorse Mr. Lewis for the position In the
| strongest terms possible Several appli
| cations for membership were received.
