themselves Of it's advantages will signify the
same by forwarding to the Commissioner the
information desired, in accordance with circu-

April and July last
Townships having no railroad property

and in some instances this has been done in a

official power OF the city were under their

ought to be enforced by our authorities, and it
is sorry commentary on the faithfnlnesr OF
these men to duty. that private individuals

not have allowed the laws Of the city thus to
