''The resolution before me contem-
plates the erection of a frame stable with
IN the fire limits and I am of the opin-
ion that such building should be built of
brick If at all. Moreover, the fact that
wagons are to be stored in the building
which will necessarily be taken in and
out every day, thereby causing much
noise, is looked upon by the neighbor-

and those stated in a veto of a former
resolution | withhold my approval"

over until the nex meeting.

that the Mayor was in error, that he did
