 Acting Mayor Mcintyre, who was sur veying the scene from afar, renewed a few acquaintances and fell naturally in with the fellows who are representing the people, as he is in various ways.

He said that these matters were so well known that he felt that it was not right to longer defer action upon them. However. both of the associate commissioners were unwilling to act
