paratus to a fire for the past four
or five years. Following the council
session, some of the persons present
pushed the truck hack into the fire
house. 1t had been out in the street
since the dinner last week.
Bills amounting to $21,713.61 were
ordered paid. Among them was one
for AttorI ey Jacob r. V. M. Lefferts
for the sum of $647.60. This was
the bill thar caused considerable dis.
cussion when it came up for pay
ment a the last regular meeting and
which was laid over. The bill was
passed !&st night without comment.
A complaint was received concern
ing the conduct of a number Of
young men who c~ongregate At the
corner of Main and Little streets.

structed to break up the practice Of
the young men collecting there.

were instructed to hove a list Of all
the delinquent taxes at the next
meeting. These will include tne list
of persons owing personal taxes.
