concedes that any person can get access to

and high-minded Hovey and his fellow fort
holders IN the raid upon the principal OF the
Fourth district, insisted that the latter was
responsible for the condition OF the water
closets that were open 10 access through the
yard, perhaps an explanation is in order
why the same rule shall not apply in the Sd
district where an expert IN water closet
management like Hovey rules the roost. We
may add that "A Father" the writer OF the
complaint In question is q much respected

are alike good. For this reason Trustee
Hovey and his fellow fort holders will no
doubt feel free TO denounce him with other
reputable citizens, as liar, old fogy, and
blackguard.
