town Creek bridges and the East River Briuse
was voted on and failed to pass. although by mo-
ton to reconsider the the measure is si on
the table.
After considerable routine business had been

measure for new building. The motion to strike
out the new hospital item failed TO pass and
the original motion came up. Supervisor Ackermah

Commission would be ready long before new
bosntal could be built and he did not think 1t was
