relation to the water from the old gas

know if he must obliterate the words,
and did not think he had infringed the
law.

and had found that a sort of epidemic
of typhoid fever exists throughout the
State. The children of persons in this
town who have boiled the river water
have also had typhoid fever. He
thought the sign should be taken down.

a matter of public policy

sense of the board that Mr. Leitch De
requested to remove the sign from his
wagon.

nance gives the Chief of Police author
ity in the matter and Trustee Tebbets
moved to amend that the board sustain
the Chief of Police.

poning the matter of appropriation for
the Horrible parade. The Horribles
have fixed the time for their parade
at p. m, the same time as the races

parade the same as for the races. He
would vote against any further appro-
priation unless they postponed their
