blanched and the paper shook in his
extended hands.
II have read this account of my
speech" said the mayor. recovering
his composure. "and | wish to say
that in the main have been cor

luton to the effect that, until the

attributed TO him and apologize TO
the council. he be no longer allowed
to preside over that body.
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee.
