made to them by B. Harris and on which
he obtained goods. Judge Mcdonnell
stated that the PLAINTIFF pl opposed to show

THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY.

Another Gentleman Who Does not Favor
the Armory Proposition.
To The independent:
"Citizen's" suggestion regarding the are
works site, II seems to me. is extremely
we'll taken. Helena avenue always was a
mistake for pyrotechnic display. 1t lies
too low and there are too many elements Of
danger, as experience has proved. Let MS
have them woll mp on the slopinR side of
Mt. Helena. There il a mound to the left
Of the reservoir that nature built for the
purpose, and there is n good road all tho
way. Citizens in every ward can then see
the hrework display from their homes. and
the knoll can easily be kept clear of those
who endanger Themselves BY being there.
