avenue west, $50 feet or more in order
to permanently abate a nuisance exist

department great deal of expense de-
vising means for draining it.

the streets at night, and stated in addi-
ton that the residents on Commercial

Just here a little trouble came in.
When the frs commissioners held their
meeting last week, 4he members OF the
supply committee were present, but they
did not realize that the fire commission
ers were intending to send their con.
illusions direct to the council chamber.
Therefore, today the supply committee,
especially Mr.. lnnes, were disposed to
kick. They claimed that the fire COM
missioners should have referred their
decisions to them before being presented
before the council. A great how-dy-do
Herewith occurred. and it ended in hav-
ing the entire report referred back to
the supply committee.
