months ago and was started by Mr..

lasted about an hour, being participated
in by Messrs. Palmer, Lockwood, Good
rich and members of the council, the lat
ter regarding the protest as rather be-
hind the times. The protest was not
dated and some of the names on 1t had
appeared upon a protest circulated a
year ago. when the extension was advo-
Gated. The matter was continued.

lating the conduct Of hotel drummers
