The c. & 0.Ctfme card will be

radical. Both passenger trains win

placed itself In rather peculiar and
embarrassing position with relation to
the construction OF the new fire sta
ton In the southeastern part of the

awarded To .. Chytraus but was vetoed
by Mayor Thompson because the city
engineer was not associated with the
fire chief IN the supervision Of the
construction work. The contract was
then amended TO meet the approval Of
the mayor and was again sent to the
council for approval on Monday at
ternoon the finance committee decided
that the city did not have the money
with which to build the IRE station and
when the contract was submitted on
Monday night sham controversy
arose over the ground being adequate

whole proposition was side-traCked,
Mr.. Chytraus had conversation with
Mayor Thompson IN regard to the con-
tract and he was assured by
that officer that the contract
would be awarded TO him and
that The station would be constructed
without further delay. Depending
upon that, the contractor proceeded 10
