error was made is now manifest, for
it has FASTENED to send to Captain
Young a f1attering letter in which it
compliments him upon his meritorious
work in saving property during the
recent confiagration. Captain Young
was in FL Monterey apartments at the
time of the fire, and he did valiant
work in rescuing both lives and prop

be placed. in charge of the naval re-

but is about to be reopened, search
for suitable quarters being now in
progress.-Town Talk.
