At the boro council meeting Monday the budget was adopted, showing an Increase of $75,168.27 over last year, the total of the budget being the Increase being due to over-expenditures, Interest-deficiency notes and water bonds and interest. The amount to be raised by taxation Is given as $142,948.54. The apropria-tion for the ploice was reduced from $15,700 to $15,000. Last year's appropriation for ihe fire department was $3,000. This amount has been increased to $5,000, for anticipated repairs to a fire truck, which will cost $2,700.

The street appropriation was reduced from $15,000 last year, to $13,500. In a communication, C. E. Cole advised tho council that tho board of freeholders would begin construction work ot the concrete roadway on tho Keyport-Kcansburg Stobo. road early in the spring.

year's rent. In a letter, Mrs. Worth asked -that other quarters bu obtained owing to tho uncalled publicity resulting from the free offer.
