necessitate specfal saving and;
would add greatly to the expense
to which the contractors wonfd be

attention of members, but was final

possible effects of quick action ia

next Tuesday evening. This action
was because of the temporary ab-
sence of Alderman Owens from the
city and a realization Of the probab-

mayor, in which event Mr.. Owens
and his vote would become an i'm
portant factor in passing the ordin-

painting the Fitger company's

the council to the condition of the
alley alongside the warehouse. al

not the only one demanding atten-

The case of Matt Sepola, who
claims a rebate of $3.50 for the al
