enthusiastic young men of the neighbol-

halyards between two flag poles shortly
after midnight. Commissioner of Public
Works Daily is custodian of the build
ing. He was not pleased when he got
down to his office because the flag had
been raised without permission. How
ever, he thought it better to let it stand
than create fuss.
