A communication called atteption to

the eastern part Of the city, and that it
vas too nice summer resort to have is

A pauper woman, cOmmonly called
one-eyed Hanna, With her child roams
the streets. sometimes playing in the
puddles Of water. It seems that the
city had rented house Tor her. Held
said the subject Of making some better
provision for the woman and her child
had been before the council some time
ago. and Lehman suggested that the
county poor farm would doubtless be
the proper place for her. a. she could do
some work. and did not desire to be de-
prived Of her child. Mayor Fitzpatrick
that the supervisos Of the
poor would give IN order if the council
would SEQ to getting her to the farm. |
This seemed to b agreed on - the best |
for the woman and her child and also
for al others concerned.

doubt about ths lsw; Gleason that the
city had been entirely too leniant; Gray
that it v1s pretty hard to get anything
like Satisfactory sidewalks by relying on
owners-s0no were not resident, some
etc. It is best to follow the
law strictly. which provides for the city
building, i case the owner does not,
within time limited. Held moved that

NOD e the draymsn Of the city ap-
peared beSsne the council to ask their
protection ;against those doing business
ls draymen without the license required
BY Law. The substance Of all their
speeches w.se that they, - . body Of
draymen, were by Law compelled to pay
Tor an exclusive privilege, in which they
we're not pa otected BY the city. The
mayor assured them that the city would
enforce the Law, but could not do %
without kne.wledgs of where it was
