The heat kraken still holds this county
In its grasp and there seems to be little
prospect of relief. Those who can keep
indoors can live, if they remain quiet,
but that about all. Actual comfort is un-
attainable. Up in the Weldon Building
United States Commissioner Romaine, at
noon, was engaged in the arctic occupa-
tion of totaling up columns of figures in
a temperature of 9S while the perspira-
tion rolled from his face and barred arms
in small rivulets. Lawyer Lewis sat in
a little furnace draught which circulated
from an open southern window through
the door, mopping his brow, while he die
tated a cast iron legal document to his
private secretary. City Attorney John

Among these are ex-Assemblyman Gold
