tween the ceiling and roof of the resi-
dence then occupied by his family
After the war the box could not be

further he was rewarded by finding
every dollar of the long lost money.

The plan Of keeping politics out Of city

majority. The idea was to make the city
government purely business orgsniza tion

account. There can be but one opinion
