city council, and the system to apply to
all departments. The motion prevailed,
and the mayor appointed Aldermen
Healy, Glysson and keast, together with

Bills Ordered Paid.
Il was later pointed out as an illustra-
ton of the desirabiity of detailed re-
ports that in the weekly payroll OF the
street department just presented there
was a call for $6ll,9l, but the council
was not conversant with the itemized
accounting OF where the money was to be
spent. The other warrants ordered paid

roll, $53.67; fire department, Ss9,25; po-
lice department, $96.59; city hall janitor,

case being $Sls with the exception OF the

Committee Reports Accepted.
The following committee reports We're
accepted: Street committee in reply to
w. II. Sprague, attorney for Mrs. d. q.
Bickford, that the city took land of Mrs.
Bickford on Prospect street and paid Tor
the same to her satisfaction and agreed
to terrace the land, which was done, that
the condition was as good as before, but
that the city had not agreed to keep the
same in condition; street committee, on
condition of River street and on dump
ing chips into the river from the Bolster
plant on Granite street, that the walk
had been ordered filled and that further
dumping of chips and refuse has been
forbidden; street committee, on stone
chips in Burnham street, that j. b. san
guinetti had promised to remove the
chips; committee on purchase OF flag for
city hall, that the flag and socket have
been purchased for $s.45 and are now
ready for use. The reports OF the wire
inspector were accepted.
s. d. Allen appeared and wanted to
know if the city engineer had investigat-
ed the new dam at Jones Brothers COM
pany's plant. Mr.. Allen said be had no
desire to make trouble for Jones Brothers
company, but since the dam had been
put in place water had set back into his
lumber yard in very damaging manner.
Alderman Glysson said the city engineer
was going to look into the situation at
once.
More Money Appropriated.
Two resolutions appeared before the
council, one appropriating $1,000 for per-
manent street work and the other appro-
priating $3.50 to the health department
and 1880 to the miscellaneous account.
The former, having been passed to Sec
ond reading, was adopted, while the lat
ter was passed TO a second reading. The
health department needs more money be-
cause of the expenditure made in fenc-
ing the city dump and in paying for gar
bage collection, while the $500 in the
miscellaneous account is to pay tax re-
bates voted last Friday night by the
board of civil authority.
The water superintendent report for
the month of September was accepted.
Another action in relation to the water
department was vote to wipe out all
special water rates in existence prior TO
September Z, 1915, especial attention be-
ing paid 10 refrigerating plants.

claimed the amount due should have been
SIS and not sl45.9s, as had been paid.
The matter was referred 10 the water
committee. Alderman Glysson moved

the board of Fred Duyal be paid under
