The City Council at its last meet
ing voted on proposition to open

who voted no did so because
they thought this dangerous prece-
dent. Ii this had passed, dozen simi-
lar resolutions would have been at
once introduced and the board would
have been compelled to receive them.

mitted her husband to leave the

young men who contemplate matrl-
nony, we advise them to go into
training.
