OF 81 pc. annum. We are glad ,hs, this excellent
institution is to be so centrally located and cheapy
accommodated, yet we canno, bns feel that the
MAYORS reasons for Ms Veto Were stronger than
any we have yet seen urged on the ether SIDE.
And, by the way, We had a faint hope OF seeing
that Roiunda converted into q LanoH ExcHANsH,
where every one IN want OF work or of woskmsn
could apply, examine Register KEEP, by the City,
and see if any body wanted his work, or 10 90 the
work he wished done. The benefits OF such an
Exchange, after time had been afforded to perfect
il. would be immense Very often employers look
days fos the men they want, while those men are
yainy seeking employment. The two classes do
not know where they may find each other Fine
Arts are very weB. bnt Bread is more imperative
necessity, and Work must be dons before we can
afford even the most salutary recreation. Gentle
men OF the Common Council, We defer 10 you IN
the matter Of the Gallery; now what say You 10
