A proposition that the boreugh re- turn te the practice of paying the war- den amd the members of the court of burgesses for their official services is being made and is finding seme favor, although the matter has not been strongly urged. ¥ormerly the war- den received $50 » year for his ser- vices and each of the burgesses 325, but a number of vears ago this ar- rangement was done away with and since then the officials have served | without pay. Whether or not the bor- ough will decide to restore the old schedule of payment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the of- ficials earn as much as it was once the | custom to pay them. They give a great deal of time and attention to of- ficial business. For this they receive only the satisfaction of knowing that their duties have been faithfully dis- charged and the thanks of their fellow | citizens—sometimes. The matter of | paying the warden and court of bur- | gesses will not come up at the annual | borough meeting on Monday, however, as there is no clause in the warning under which action on such proposi- tion may be taken.
