nine o'clock in the evening, at which
hour curfew bell is to ring. This pc

tie or no opposition to it and it is un
derstood that the administration il
heartily in favor of such an ordinance
The kids are talking about getting uk
counter petition against the passage
of the ordinance but such q petition
would probably have little or no effect.
