A communication was received from P^rederick   B.

The Clerk was   direct-1 ed to reply that the Board   had   no   in-1 tention   of   showing   any   discourtesy; that  the   application   had been denied becau.se the Board, while not objecting Jiersonally, did not think   it   would  be the right thing to establish such a jire- cedent as allowing band parades on the | Sabbath, especially as it  might   inter¬ fere   with    the    sessions   of    .Sunday Schools of other denominations.
Chief Walter B. Cozzens rejiorted having recived an estimate of cost for the erection of a temiiorary engine house on the same style as the hose company houses, for the new engine when it arrives.

The   clerk j was directed to notify the .Street Com- ¦ missioner to remedy the matter as soon i as Jiossible.
Tax Collector E. A. Dorlon rejiorted' that since the last meeting of the 1 board he had collected $2,.'i47.40 of the taxes of the fiscal year, making the total collections to date, amounting to $ll,758..'i.'}. which amount he has turned over to Village Treasurer John E. Golding.
The following applications for water service were granted: G. Stone, Cen¬ tre Street; H. J. Raymore, Bayview Avenue; John W. Halliday, Smith Street; George E. Harrison, Long Beach Avenue, and William E. Loon¬ am, South Side Avenue.
The clerk was directed to draw a voucher for the payment of $800 to G. Howard Randall, as his first payment on the erection of the addition to the light plant, and for $200 to Joseph J. Albin, on account, for laying water main extensions.
The Treasurer was instructed to transfer temjxirarily .'Sl.HOO from the water to the water extension fund.
Trustee Frank H. Stevens com¬ plained that the new street lamps re¬ cently received and installed do not aji¬ pear to be of the reijuired candle pow¬ er. Electrician Harry A. Walling stated that the new lamps would give considerable additional light after they had been in u^e a short time, and the matter was laid over.
Alexander C. Ackerman complained that there are no street lights on Com¬ mercial and Shonnard Avenues, for a distance of over half a mile. He was assured that the matter will be given early consideration.
