reported receipts from taxes $22,547.75,
and water receipts $~1,356.94. Chief Of
Police Cobb reported two arrests for
drunkenness and one for disorderly
conduct. There was discussion about
the offensive odors from the fish
plant, the Mayor insisting that some
thing should be done to abate the nui-

not appeal to the Commissioners. II
the way to take some definite action
is clear the Commissioners indicate
by their mood that they will proceed
at once to abate the nuisance.
