who sham, that have not the consciousness
of the fact that they are shamming and it is
thus all the more inexplcable that such will
persist in placing themselves in position OF
such questionable propriety and good sense.

parade that some make Of a weakness, or a

In reply to Lorenzo Simi and other residents I'm
the neighbOrhOOd, requesting that the pool OF stag
nant water on lot q, square s43 be abated as niii-
Sance, injurious to health, the Commissioners In
form them that on examination II appears that the
trouble can only be remedied by fllng or draining
the property on which the water accumulates but
this can only be done at the expense of the prop
erty owners. the District having no authority To
make expenditures from the general fund Tor the
improvement OF private property.
NOT FAVORABLE TO THE BILL.
The Commissioners, In answer to Mr. c. Fl.
Armes' letter, asking them TO recommend the
passage OF House bill 1892 to confirm the order for
closing OF Meridian avenue, as It affects certain
property owned by him, state that they cannot
recommend the approval OF this bill. They believe
the order heretofore issued by the previous board
have been illegal, and that TO close this avenue
will seriously interfere with that free coInmunica-
ton TO adjoining property and streets which resi-
dents and owners are entitled TO-
