Ono of my authorities was once Gil

Lands Improvement company, wanted to
abolish Il certain court leading from
Lo1nbard street to King William street
and were willing to establish i'll it's stead
a passage through emo of their own
buildings. Tho company's plea was that
tho court was dingy, not to say dirty,
ono, and. Furthermore. that it was haunt
ed by loafcrs of questionable character.
Counsel for tho other side, representing
merchants having Offices in tho court,
stoutly maintained that tho passage was
we'll lighted and emincntly respectable.

Machine company vacated their prem

tho company tho second tenant left tho
old name on the windows and over the
