year. while he pays 10 the city from Sl35

in the house at the time, but instead of
being scared she promptly opened fire
upon the :narau lers with pistol, very
eilectuaily driving them of. Numerous
complaints are being made about the lack
OF police protection in this section of the

for the residents. Mothers are now
