 The house is for a family on town relief and Supt. Cox said this was cheaper than he could get anywhere else. Two EZRA fcarpen- ters are working on the job. One of them is loafing, said MT. Mari ano.
 State Credits Helped
 Related arrival of $4,074.93 from the state for help extended in the past fiscal year by the borough to state charges helped the welfare departments finances considerably Supt. Cox reported. This was in the nature of a reimbursement to the town by the state.
 A credit of $2,64O.52 was re- ceived for the period ending De- cember l, 1883, and one of $I,434.- Al for the period ending in March, 1884 were received, the superin- tendent said.
 There is still $50,20O.13 left in last month of $7,257.43 but with this credit deducted the net ex- pense was only $3,182.52. Supt. Cox pointed out that this is the only source of income outside the ordinary kind the town may ex- pect. It will continue as long as the borough takes care of state charges.
 Shere is still s5O,2Oo.1s left in the welfare department budget of $75,000, the financial report shows. This despite the fact five months of the fiscal year have passed, shows expenditures to the end of August from April, as follows: outside poor, $7,771.S7; labor, $12,154.75; hospitals, $3,277.95; children in homes, $2,3O9.O2; town farm, $3,- 455.64; overhead, $3,003.92 or a total of $31,973.15 net expense. However there has been unappro- priated income of $7,1O5.28 which with wood sales income of $6S $24,799.87.
 Families On Relief
 In response to a question by Mir. TS.k l. T,.Ix were 69 families representing 32a persons, on direct relief from the town. This means cases where work and food are provided.
 There were 223 families repre-. senting 883 persons, on indirect re- lief, that is getting EZRA or wei. fare department work.
 This was higher than June be- cause of the fact that the factory shutdown occurred in July. July expenses were about 5000 more than those of June, Supt. Cox ex- plained.
 Distribution Date Changed
 Mir Mariana suggested it would be better if free food from the government, meat in particular, were distributed on Friday instead of Wednesday as has been the practice for the last two years. He said, the scrip payroll is given out on Wednesday and people don't need the meat so much then. Near the end of the week they get shy of funds and they could use the meat they received on Friday for their Sunday dinners, he said.
 It was decided that this week the food will be given out on We'd nesday as usua! but starting next week the distribution day will be Friday.
 Mir Parkinson and other mem- bers recommended that the chim- ney on the roof of the town hall be repaired or removed and SUD- planted by another one. Near the middle of it there is not much support and it is possible a strong wind which hit it just right might cause it to tumble down and pos sibly .injure persons or damage autos beneath, they said.
 Supt Cox agreed to have a mason inspect the chimney and see what 1t needed.
 A letter of resignation as EZRA investigator submitted during July by Miss Margaret E. Bull was read and the resignation accepted. There was no meeting in August. Miss Bull thanked the superintendent and individual members of the board for their cooperation. All members of the board were pres ent at the meeting.
