 reason for this Is the 66 per cent reduction in the money quota al- iotted the borough by state head quarters. The local quota for June is less than $500 Q week.
 Among those dropped Is former superintendent of public welfare A. Bardon Cross who had been em- ployed In the CWA and EZRA as safety inspector, looking toward the welfare of the men. It Is un- derstood his duties will be taken over by former street superintend. ont Victor Anderson.
 Street Superintendent Jamos Brophy Is being besieged by aspi- rants for work, mostly persons dropped from the EZRA. Few If any are being hired and chances of many being taken on the street department are slim, the superin- tendent stated.
 If personal inclination were ale lowed to rule, Supt Brophy said to-day he would take on many more but tho appropriation for his department will not permit hiring more persons at present. he OK. plained to-day. It Is hts intention to remain within that appropria- ton # possible.
 It Is not improbable that even more will have to be dropped from the EZRA when tho month of July nears.

 s Gets His Bond
 Borough Tax Collector James Fitzgerald has received his bond of $35,0O0. The issuance of this dispels all doubt that the impu. tation of illegality of the special fremen's meting on December 2l will affect this Issue. Under the new law the tax collector is rec sponsible for all uncollected taxes but a liberal interpretation of this law lis usually made by state otii- ciais. There had been reports MT Fitzgerald would not get his bond because of the dispute over the S17.O0O appropriation for the fire truck and cwA materials. but ap. parently there was nothing to these reports. Mir Fitzgerald was confident all along he would se- cure his bond soon.
