grew eloquent oyer the reckless eXtrav
agance of the city, when a bill was
! prese nted from man asking for pay
) for assisting the janitor of the city hall
in careing for the building. He thought
/ if the janitor could not do his work
he ought to be removed The bill was
laid on the table. The bill of the
! Water Light & Power company for
$2OS7 80 for hydrant rentals was laid
on the table at the request of AID.
