The War Bureau appropriation was discussed with a minimal grant of up to 500 dollars, while many actions included road policy, bond refunds, and committee appointments. Timothy Callaghan was reappointed chief of the fire department and a fire hydrant was approved near the Jarvis factory. the meeting adjourned.
