been found that the best time to call these meetings l,
O'Clock in the evening BY the time the business OF getting
under weigh Is through with, the masses, who stop work
at clock are their way home in mynads. Rarely do
they aithOse who come from down town, on then course

triangular pieces of land here called squares ito stop

no time and the speakers make out good argument and
