ton would be increased in value and
the city derive benefit. Then, too
numbers of unemployed men could be
given work.
The resolution was agreed to.
Mr.. Cation introduced and advocated
bill to increase the salaries of the
police to SIS per mouth ard the num-

station house were adopted.
And after some references the board
