Bulletin does not wish to give couh
tenance to this story. well authents
Gated though 1t seems to be, because
| this paper is honestly and earnestly

In spite of all that has been said and

Talk Of bribery in the city council

it should be dealt with seriously. Only
once or twice before, in all the history
of Cairo's city council, has there been
any such talk, both times in connec-
ton with some petty deals in fire
hose. The talk now, in connection
with these street railway ordinances
is much to be deplored. because, If
given full scope it is likely to bring
on a state of feeling in which the
great project in which we are all so
deeply interested will be lost. 1t is

and factionai feeling win be curbed
