whether sliding Is barred or not the yolnRstefs will stilI slide on streets. Burgess Nygren felt it Is the duty of the board to degignate some streets for sliding. When the new extension Of Millville avenue is completed, 1t should make an ideal spot for sliding because 1t has no cross roads, the warden said.
 FiEemen's Pensions
 Burgess Nygren brought up the matter of pensions for paid fremen, reminding there were several fire men who have served more than 25 years now, and feeling some sort of pension system should be pre- pared. He felt & committee should prepare a pension plan for sub- mission at the next session of the state legislature.
 Warden Sheridan felt that it was a good idea but reminded that one was not approved several years ago by the board because 1t did not in- clude the principle of the firemen contributing to the pension, as do the police.
 Burgess Fellows said he thinks the firemen would be willing to con- tribute toward pensions if a bill were passed by the legislature. MT. Ny gren agred with this and said that there are some firemen who have given many years of service. The fire committee and the borough att torney were ordered to prepare a pension plan.
 The board authorized that regis trars of voters be reco1npensed for the special work they have done this year, subject to the approval of the state auditors. The registrars had much more work than normal this year, 1t was brought out. It was indicated each will get $50 extra provided the state auditors okay 1t.
