The closing chapter in the story OF
Quincy and st. Mary streets came yester-
day in the Board OF Supervisors when the
order closing the alleys was finally passed.
Supervisor RottsnZi, who occupied the
chair in the absence of Mayor Pnelan, was
the only one voting against the order. He
explained his vote by stating that he
thought the unfortunates who occupied
the two streets should be provided with
other quarters before being driven into
The street to be a menace to society and
annoyance TO the police. He said also
that he had talked with Chief Lees re-
garGiug the matte: and that he had come
to the conclusion that the closing of the
streets was matter for police regulation
rather than action by the Supervisors.
The order closing Berry and Dupont
and Bacon streets was passed to print af.
ter motions to refer TO the Health and
Police Committee and to defer for week
had been lost.
The board took time by the forelock and
re- elected James W. Mcdonald and George
T. Bowen Fire Comm issioners to succeed
themselves. Such action was not neces-
sary before the next meeting, but rather
than etand the pulling and hauling 10
which the mem bers have been subjected
il was thought best to have the matter
settled a. once.

fishing he boundaries of the Pound limits
