City council at it's meeting Monday
night neglected to take care of the

asked permission to cross an unused
portion of Cook park with switch
in order to have the Wheeling & Lake

man Shoot reported favorably upon it.
Then Solicitor Blake introduced an or

and maintain the switch and every
councilman gave his assent to its pas

asked council to point out means
of relief. The letter said that the

that the company is between the devil
