a year ago p.nd is a private

Port Dix. N. J.. where he has
stationed since he entered
the service. His hobby has been
ing to forego the remuneration
they had been receiving.
Gustav Blrkei, a menrb^r of ap-peals
board, speaking for himself
and Mr. Morris, said that while
he had no objection to the
change, he felt that when mem-bers
of a commission were ap-pointed,
they should b? compen-sated
for what they did. He pro-pi
ised he would continue to serve.
The board started the elimina-tion
of what it considered un-necessary
jobs when fivri men
were dropped from the payrolls.
Three of these were "rounds-men,"
who were supposed to
guard the incinerator, pumping
_ station and sewage disposal
plant. They were former Fire
Chief Edward Andrews, James

for the work they
-were doing was transferred to the

paid, that except for a few met-ers
that had been reserved for
special purposes the village had
no more to Install.
Norman Dean wns transferred
to his former post of handling
utilities accounts, from that a
bill collector in the Consumers'
Service division.
Louis J. Primavera, who has
' been a laborer In the Department
of Sanitation, was made a chauf-feur

Police Ohlef Peter Elar adVised
Uie board that Patrolman How-ard
C. Reynolds had bezn called
•Into service, and that It would be
absolutely necessary to fill the
\vacancy. On his recommendation
Mr. Still well, the former "Rounds-man,"
was given a provisional
pppointment.

(he Signal Curps after his enlist-ment.
