thentic source, that the mayor had issued
instructions to the chief of police to pro-
coed at once to break up the policy SHIPS
and that In consequence of this the po-
lice had issued orders to all policy shops
to close by August 4 and thus forestal
Alderman OLeary's motion, which can MOI
now be acted upon until August 6.
