Atlantic is having a lively
time with John Mooreland, one

The councilman's walk is about
the worst in the city and the
city proposes to repair it, and
the councilman proposes to en-
join the city from doing so. 1t
is safe to bet no other citizen in
the city will fix his walk until
this row is settled.
