 Condition Better
 Improvement Is reported in the condition of Louis Richardson, i6 son of MT. and Mrs. Oscar Rich- ardson of May avenue, whose left arm was amputated recently ct the hospital for Crippled Children, New York city. Although the younth is progressing, he is not yet in condi- ton to receive visitors.
 slghty Less Expense
 The report of Welfare supt. Leo scully to the welfare board to be given at the February meeting Mon- day at 6 p. m. Is expected to show expenses of the department in Jafi- uary were just under $6000, about Si00 less than December. This makes January the least expensive month for the department in the present fiscal year.
 However 1t seems likely the re- port will show that the depart- ment's funds are either already ex- hausted or nearly so. As yet . credit fro mthe state, expected to amount to about se0o0, has not been re- coiyed. This Is for state aid eases here helped in the quarter from October 1 to December 3i, 1888.
 The town does not receive until the next fiscal year the state aid check for the quarter from Jan. ] to March 3i. The fiscal year ends March 3i.
 The monthly department expenses have averaged probably 5000 or cAOse to that. Of course some Of this has been for state cases for which the department gets renum- erated by tho state.
 The burden on the welfare de- pertinent throughout the present fiscal year has been the heaviest in several years and c deficit Of about Si2,000 Is anticipated.
