experimentally for building boats; sew

develop i'm itself much excitement on
either side of the police commission
argument. But when the advocates Of

is inefficient, that is SO notorious a
misstatement as to suggest that a po-
lice commission cannot be desirable
nroposition unless some better argu-
ment than reckless condemnation Of the
present system can be found for IT.,

also odious For instance a privateer
