incurred as expense of the same has
been paid and few dollars of balance

About $1,000 was raised for the meeting
and this was all raised by voluntary

side of Inter Ocean avenue to put down
cement walks. This will give a walk
from the depot to Kellogg street, the

that point walk is to be built to the

il was something besides the hail that
accounts for the death Of these trees.
II looks very much ms though these
