Aa to the price quoted in a VV'ealern firemanic paper of SSc per foot. Chief Cornell said he has been ui;able to verify the figures and doubted if they were authentic. The Chief of the Chicago Fire Depart¬ ment had informed him that so far as he could find the bid was for hose for chemical wagons and the price had peen about 5U cents instead of Bb cents as quoted.
Chief Cornell stated as to conditioiis of public halls in the village that these have been remedied, but it was only a queation of time when this might be bad again at this place or annther, and he would like the ordinance paased as soon as possible, as requested at last meeting of the Board, so it would not be neceasary to watch the hall every night.

Trustee Sigmond offrred a resolution that Counsel be engaged to devise a proper system of assessments for vil¬ lage books. Trustee Bedell did not; thin there was time to make any radi¬ cal changes in the system of as.-ieasing. it was referred to the Board of Asses¬ sors.
At the last meeting  Trustee Myrick refused   to   approve   the   bill of A. B. Wallace. $10, for auctioneering the old fire   department   apparatua, as he had misapprehended   that Mr. Wallace was. to do the   work for   nothing,   and   the bill was laid over.     Mr,.

i want to thank you and all con¬ cerned in that splendid afTair of laat week. It was the greatest compliment I hawe ever received and more than I deserved. The whole afTair was nicely carried out. The menu card was a beauty and a great surprise to me. I understood that it was designed ami printed by you. Surely it did your es¬ tablishment credit. It has been grest- ly admired by many who have aeen it. I think we ought to give a dinner to the Press. You gentlemen of tbe local preaa have done more for tbe Board of Trade than anyone tise.
Ever sincerely yours,
