The fact that the Mayor was in
a great hurry to get away from
the Council room on Monday night
before a quorum of the Aldermen
had arrived, made it appear to

should not meet.

There seems TO be some differ
ence in opinion as to who owns the
point of land on Second at the
foot of Lockwood street. For
some years the property has been
fenced in and occupied by j. c.
Chisholm, and he is now erecting a
building thereon but tho city of
Alpena claims the title thereto, and
the result will undoubtedly be that
the matter will be left TO a jury for
decision.
