veto in the matter Of the
Fifth precinct station house con-
tract award was repeated and
the outlook is that His Homer will not be
sustained In his vetoes of any of the pro-

His Honor has picked out the Street and
Water Board as his chief point of attack

Commissioners and so long as the Mayor
retains his hostile position toward

plications will be the outcome Of the
Mayors actions seems assured.
