SO also the Mayors comments on his
associates OF the Police Board, Messrs
Bolton and Verdier. They were full of
sweet. gentle phrases. These good
brothers of the B7ard of Police Commits
sioners. dwell in happy concord with
each other. How charming is the sketch
presented by the Mayor Of the brother
