sets forth that the change is a most un-
desirable one in point of location, be-
ing considerably removed from the
centre of the town: that the present
stand has given entire satisfaction for
the past twelve years, and that there
are no good reasons advanced for its
removal. Mr. Steward owns the build
ing into which he wishes TO move the
Office, and lives in the same building.
There IS a movement on the part OF
the young men of the Avenue NJ. r.
