hut none of them were such as in the
wisdom of the mayor and council should
be accepted The matter of the length
of time after which the place should
revert to the city was the rock upon
which the splits heretofore have occurred.
Some of the bidders upon the institution
have wanted twenty years, others fifteen
while the mayor and council considered
ten years long enough for the private
enterprise to receive the revenues
Yesterday Mayor Atkins received bid

dav there was held a meeting of the
