W. BURTON SUPERVISOR DATED, Tune 8th, 1932 A communication dated Tune 17th was received from the Fidelity and Casualty Co. of id. Y. requesting a certification of the fact that Rufus K. Allerton has satisfactorily accounted for the funds in his possession belonging to the Police Pension Fund during the year 193.11 ending April 21, 1932. The matter was referred to the Clerk to obtain an audit. A communication dated Tune 20th was received from the Alpha Alpha Phi Sorority inviting the members of the Board to attend the third annual dance of the Sorotity at the Weaver Street Fire House on Tune 25th. The communication was ordered received, placed on file and all the members who could possibly do so were urged to attend. Tustice Burbank advised the Board that one of the concerns which had purchased tax liens at the sale held by the Town on May 25th was writing letters to owners of the properties on which the liens were based informing these owners that "your property has been sold...." etc. Whereas, he said, these letters should state that the "tax liens have been sold...." etc. He declared that this was unnecessarily ter- rifying tc the property owners and suggested that the Company which bought the liens be directed to amend its letters. The matter was referred to Counsel. 220 At 6:10 P.M. the Board unanimously resolved to recess to meet again at the call of the chair, to take up such matters -- as might properly come before it.
