Timken said the bill was all right. Mr..
WeAnthal limited that the telephone was
used by people who had no right TO use

Snyder and Capeld that by virtue of an

When the ordinance providing for a
Building Inspector came UP there was
another wordy war between Messrs.

said Hoboken was all built up and an
inspector would be a useless expense, as
there were no buildings for him to in
peet.
Mr.. Weinthai argued that it would be
a saving to the city. as this official
would supervise all buildings and public
works where a special inspector now has
to be engaged. The ordinance was finally
passed, Mr.. Lendrigan still objeet;ng
vigorously to the ordinance, which he evil
IDENTIFY regarded as some Vaccination of
the "Big Six to GREAT a salaried po-
sttion.
The Council then adjourned.
