N all OF waiting Tor a conflict of unusuai
importance
The matter Of the dispensary was
-tacleu Wien City Attorney watson read
4 report from the Diapensary Commission
trs, Messrs. King, Cole and Jones, saying
hat tney had cot had time to prepare
rules and regulations, that they were not
yet fully II fife Commissioners because
Of bonds not given and terms not fixed rec
omnending one d~ispen6ary and giving
figures for the cost of conducting a DIS
pensary, as about $40, 1000.
AS the reading of the report proceeded
and when it was heard that the Dlspen-
sary Commissioners, known to have ex
pressed their preference for two dispen
Saries, this being backed by the opinion
of CITY Attorney Watson that such could
be opened. had receded from their position

s,ect. and that one dispensary only was x
ne opened
