neal Independent Fire Company was
last night given permission by the
MataWan Borough Council to fill
the forty gallon tank on their engine
with water at the Matawan pumping
station after they have used the
water while attending fires. The del
egation which visited the council in
formed this body that usually they
have enough water at the engine
house to fill the tank, but the dry

have been put back into good condi-
ton.

tion to the large amount of unpaid
taxes on the books of the collector
for the year 1922 and suggested the
names of those still owing for last

that $4,000 was outstanding and
pointed out that 1t is foolish for the
borough to borrow money and pay

are still not paid. Councilman Steph-
en- g. Thompson informed the mayor
that Collector Francis C. Bedle had
informed him that he had collected
many of these taxes during the past
