clearly outlined. To say the least, they
do not do that gentleman credit. When
Potter was content to sit in the council
chamber and attend to his duty as an
alderman, he enjoyed the distinction of
being fairly good alderman. He used
to deal with all questions fairly
and speak to the point. Since

and SO that the aforesaid employees may

on an amendment to the ordinance al

on all the street car lines. The amend
