NIKE MAGUIRE wants to be another
"Billv Edwards" champion light weight,
as he found somebody who, as NIL cmi-

but men, and particularly business
men, frequently reach the cars just rs

1t is very annoying to nm officer and n
disgrace to the city, and if the Council
would attach heavy penalty to such

presuniug when We ask them TO consider
this suggestion, and act upon it at once.
