absorbing point of interest is whether
the mayor will succeed in getting
enough to defeat the bill when it comes
up next Thursday for passage over his
veto. The organization will stand on its
statement that it will pass the lease
ordinance i'm spite of disapprOval.
The record up to this evening, shows
that the mayor has ten select council
men ard 90 members of the common
council with him.
In select council, there are AZ MEM
