ment of the city. He spoke of the
union of feeling that existed between all the
companies, and told how much stronger they
were thus united. Street Commissioner Staples,
when called upon, said he had prepared speech
in writing but-fortunately for the company, he
said-some one had taken it from his pocket.

French was followed by other speakers, after
which the company adjourned to the rooms above,
