SHUMWAY APPOINTED
IN REGULAR MEETING
Hereafter Supplies Will Be Bought
Only Upon Requisition to Commis-
sioners or By Agent = Board Meet
ings to Be Open to Public.

In the regular meeting of the VILLAGE
commissioners last evening. W (
ohumway was appointed PURCHASING aoent
1or the ire department. Hereafter all nur-
chases OF supplies for the department. with
the possible exception of small necessities
IN the event OF emergency, will be made
only upon requlsition to the board of VII
lage commissioners and by the purchasing
agent ei''7iiis
ne commissioners are not satisfied with
tie expense OF conducting the fire depart
Ileht the last year, especially in the mat
ter OF coal and feed for the horses of the
department. Within a few davs four tons
OF baled hay were delivered to the de-
partment house, and the commissioner
thereupon decided to have some one des-
ignated for the purpose and backed by the
proper authority to make any and ali mr.
chases. With the chief of the department
meeting with the commissioners qacI,
month it is felt that there should be Al
reason why what Is necessary for the sue
ceedIng month should not be reuujsi+ioned
at the meeting.
The commissioners find that the bylaws
OF the village require that all persons deal
ing IN junk shall pay a license Zee. and
last evening they voted to charge for
such licenses - each per quarter or IS a
Year. They also voted to require that the
premises of such dealers shall be kent IN
reasonably presentable condition at all
times.
i The licenses will be issued as of the date
Of June | and will be effective three
