town records brought the mayor to
remark that perhaps the building of
a new town hall might be considered
by the council within few months.
|Ef Looking Out After the Poor
Il The matter of having the poor
master look after non-citizens and
aliens residing in the borough came
up for lengthy discussion and ter
minated by the attorney saying that
the town is compelled to look after
i all poor persons within its boundary
lines. The discussion was brought on
by the monthly statement of Overseer
of the Poor Schinkel. For one month
it cost the town $56.26 for poor per-
sons. 1t was brought out, however,
that the bill was caused by an alien
family being absolutely distitute. The
husband and father of the family of
five is suffering from tuberculosis,
has been unable to work for months
past. DIR. Hellstern, who is attend
ing. the man, stated that he probably
had been suffering from the illness
for at least two years. Recorder
Schulz said that the case had been
investigated thoroughly and it has
been found that the family have re-
sided in the States for only one year
and nine months, and that since com.
ing to these shores the father has
been unable to work. Mr.. Schulz, to-
gether with Mr.. Schinkel, have ar
ranged to meet the Italian Counsel
at Newark with view of having the
family deported. If these steps are
taken, the Federal Government will
pay one half the expense and the
town will have to stand the rest.
Grilling Gas and Water Companies
The water and gas companies came
in for grilling at the hands of the
councilmen and an effort is going to
be made to have these respective
companies give Fairview little more
for it's money. The town pays out
many good dollar in the course Of
year for lights and the members of
the council is of the frame of mind
that the town is not getting it's just
deserts from either Of the above men,
ioned companies. Councilman Ebel
entered q kick against the gas COM
pany and as a result that concern
will be asked to increase its efficiency
in the town. The poor pressure furn-
ished by the water company was
brought to the attention Of the board
by Councilman RENE and as result
the matter of high water pressure
will be taken up by the board. By
the time Mr.. Rene had finished his
~~marks complaints were coming
from all corners ofthe assembly room.
It seemed as if everyone had a kick
to register against the water. people.
Harrying Disposal Plant Letters
The board is still being annoyed
by letters from persons who claim
that the town is infringing on some
disposal plant patent but it's getting
so that no one worries any more.
They all take the letters as matter
of course and turn them over to the
attorney which has always been he
end Of the affair. A letter received
Wednesday, night. with reference to
this matter, was given to the at

amounting to $37.49 for installing
radiators in the Grandview fire house.

stated that the board would pay for
no such work unless it was authorized
