<br />M~tthews is License Inspector a~d Market Superintendent and also performs the duties of.
<br />Sealer of Weights and Measures, and upon investigation, I find that some of his imports~ut
<br />~ork~ ~which meatus much to.the citizens at large, is being neglected now on account of the
<br />difficulties at the market.

<br />teen days at $~.00 per day, be ~opropriated to cover pay of man temporarily employed in the

<br />December.

<br />new budgeS."
