City engineer Brown has let the con-
tract to himself of catching the fish in
the cistern at the intersection of Wash
ington and Third. You see the fish are
blind and cannot see bait and George
has little faith in their sense of smell so
he is working on an invention to light
up the cistern by electricity and catch
them with either fish wheel or a din
net. Fish dealers can present George
with sealed bids for the whole catch, in
all causes accompanied by good Havana
cigar. The best cigar gets the promise
of the catch.
