from the west. The lack of a light
| ship there endangers not only millions

making this coast in foggy and stOr-
my weather.

Brewer about which there has been

| ties, until a new order is passed by
| the council. 1t is claimed that there
never has been any order passed au-
thoriZing the taking of the Walsh
| land which the sewer plans call for

low streets. So the work has come
to a stop until the regular meeting of
| the city government, as Mayor Pen
