DR.. Purvis disavowed any such idea.

some trade relations existing in other
places between the municipal authorities
and working people. He said it usually
takes ninety days of red tape to get an
answer from the District Commissioners

Representative Curtis suggested that it
might be one of those numerous cases
where the law was defective and the Com

Mr.. Spohn held that the Commissioners

Spohn, in conclusion, these District Com
