The Citizens Association convened last
night, President Buckley presiding. The
anticipated dissension in the ranks of
the association did not materialize and
everything passed off quietly. Reports

condition of Monroe street. II. f. L. Allen

the connection between the Fillmore street
sewer and the Monroe street sewer. The
committee asked to be discharged. but Mr.

the committee be continued and instructed
to confer with Inspector Beaumont and
have the pool of water filed and the
nuisance abated. This was DONE Under
the head of new business, the association
took steps to elect a new president, to
succeed President Buckley. The name of

and seconded by Justice Carroll Smith. He
unanimously elected president. At the

was changed, and Messrs. II. A. Linger,

pointed to revise the bylaws and present
a revision at the next meeting of the aSSo-
