MAYOR BATHURST – Not really too much to report this evening, things are continuing along down stairs, we have no major incidences in the borough. We are continuing with the education of the men through the different seminars that they can attend. As I mentioned last month, Officer Addison and Officer Illich are continuing to mend but for all of us it’s a very long, tedious process. For Halloween coming up there will be additional patrols out because of the nature of the beast and I think for now that’s about it.

President Danzi – Thank you sir.
