of the finances of the department were the principal events of the first meet ing.
 Judge Patrick Kane was the choice of the board for president. He re- ceived the votes of all members save himself, and he cast his ballot for Commissioner James E. Somers. the new Democratic member. Mayor Buckingham in organizing the board expressed confidence that the members would conduct it's affairs on sound business basis, the board comprising men well versed in business affairs. Judge Kane, acknowledging the honor of being made president. said it would mean the sacrifice of much time from his own business but he would accept the responsibilities with the determin- ation to meet them to the best of his ability.
 Instead of following the usual proce- dure of electing purchasing agent to succeed former Commissioner Stone. the board entered into a discussion of the methods they will follow in the purchase of supplies. 1t was agreed to carry out the ideas of Mayor Buck inaham, that the entire board take charge of the purchase of supplies rather than one individual. The pres ident appointed two committees in charge of various branches of the de- partment and they will look after the purchase of supplies and report the cost of the same from meeting to meet ing Under this system it was agreed that there must be two meetings a month. It is expected that a consid- erable saving will result.
 President Kane's committees are: On Lakeview Home. Commissioners Foster and Somers; on Ambulance and Elmer gency and Outside Poor, Commissions CTS Behrens and President Kane.
 In calling attention to the condition of the finances of the department. Mayor Buckingham pointed out that the reduisition just filed amounts to s95, ,OO0.53. and the estimated deficiency to $10,000.

DEWEY CAMP, s. B. s.
Growth in Membership Results ill New Meeting Hall Being Secured
 New Officers.

Dewey Camp Sick Benefit Society. a branch of Dewey Camp. Woodmen of the World, has become too big an or- ganization to meet after the meetings of the camp, and it's members have leased a part of the club house of the Mohawk Yacht Club in Stratford ave nue where it's regular meetings will be held in the future. The annual meet ing of the society was held there last nieft for the first time. The reports of the various officer showed the or ganfzation to be in a healthy financial condition with 120 members in good stahding.
 Officers elected for thes ensuing year were: President, John A. Abar; vice president, Joseph F. Serre; secretary John R. H. Gebhardt; treasurer, A. A Doty; member of the board of man. agers for three years, Samuel Monash
 physician Dr. F. H. sCoops; board o1 directors. Frederick Ross, Samuel Mon- ash and Charles Craft.
 It is the purpose of the members ot the society to hold numerous entertain ments during the winter and in the near future whist will be held. Like Dewey Camp the society has growr greatly in late years. Up to severa months ago the members of the society would get together on the same night that the camp met and transact its business, but the business of the camp has grown and the hour has been sc late when it adjourned that it was al.
 most impossible to hold both meetings on the same night. Now the sick
 benefit society will have a regulal
 meeting night of it's own.
