steps leading to the Council Chamber
| were denseley packed with people, wait
ing for the doors to open: So great was
the crowd that for awhile il was feared
the steps would give way under the STRAIN
but the opening OF the doors relieved the
pressure, and allowed the crowd to enter
the Council Chamber, amid great push
| ing and crowding. The space outside
| was soon filled with an Interested crowd,
who waited anxiously for the commence
| ment of proceedings.
Council assembled mt Il o'clock, Presi-
dent Maris in the chair.
