Devine, may be all right for all know. but am for 'Spaulding all the same. He was thrown down. and I do not stand for any man being thrown down. The place should have gene to Spaulding in the beginning and would have if the Mayor had not usurped the powers of the Council. He seems to think that ke is the whole thing. and doesn't seem to know that there is a council 10 run this town.
 'I know this responded the May or. There was no quorum of coun- Gil in town to attend to the business of council, and I attended to the work it should have looked after as best could. And [ want to say, right here. MT.
