In the police court yesterday Judge err

and a yard, part of some property en-
Conway street, near Bates avenue Clark

construction of the law was that the
agent was not responsible for it's condi-

The decision greatly annoyed DIR. Ohage,
who is making an earnest effort to rid the
city of weed-gTown yards and filthy all
legs and he was net backward in express
ing his opinion Of a law that menaced the
health of the community
AS the majority of the properties In ST.

would literally place the health depart

thinks he has found a way out of the
difficulty and will proceed to put it in

because of the fact that the city will
eventually be compelled to span the Mis-

below the union depot yards, the propo-
sltlon mas been advanced to wreck the
structure and save the stone, but the
city engineering department says the

Much difficulty would be encountered in

West side will have to be taken down.
The depot fill has narrowed the river
considerably in that vicinity, and in time
the channel will extend from shore to

to tie up to when idle.
