CATION of this form of public outrage
ordered as u result of recent develop
ments In connection with the building
department. We believe the Council

show enough violations of the fire and
building ordinances deliberately plan
ned and put through to form the basis
for impeachment against more than
one of our city officials.

II was announced at the last meet
ing of the City Council that the trac-
ton question would certainly bc called
up for settlement at an early date. In
view of this fact the Eagle presents
