IN THE ANNEXED DISTRICT
DISGUISED WITH THE MAYORS TREATMENT OF
THE STREET COMMISSIONER

The cXaspcr3tOn OF the Annexed Dlstrict reslucntS
with Mayor Grants treatment Of their street Commits
sioner grows with each apparent slight which
the MayOr puts upon the official who was elected to

Of increased facilities. but they did not give reason
why a cable road, such was promised, should not
be built. The Commissioners will examine the matter
further at later meeting. Since the Railroad Com

the persons whose names were attached TO the con

has been dead for some months, others arc out OF
town and Others have no recollection of signing the
