yas vitality necessary. Tho question Of d modl-
Gcation Of tho oxisting Sunday Liquor law was
QUO on which there was BcEious difference of

tho revision Of tho ordinances was completed,
1t could bo taken np. on its own merits,
end disposed of as an independent considera-
lion. Ills personal opinion as q citizen, was nj
reaGy known but it was not for him, acting in
lis oici1l capacity as Mayor. to hay now ne e
tho Common Council was to lo. Ho did not teel
lilo saying to the Committee what ho should
like to lavo done, or Nhat he should not like to
Lave done, mud he should not indicate any ylowa
on tho qucation further than that it would not
