7 DO not believe the story" said Alderman

this board on New Years Eve visited certain
restaurant and asked for table and on being
informed that the ia bles were all reserved. told
the proprietor that-if he. the proprietor knew
who he was he would see that he had a table

care who he said that he would make
trouble for the restaurant / do not believe that
story" added Alderman Brown. with wicked

a restaurant on New Years Eve and was
turned down. I want say that you are the

Is in the entire 29Jh District"
