tor. new draft of such an ordinance
was presented at the meeting of the
council last evening by Alderman Mar
tin McNeaIy, and incident to the read
ing of the same Mayor McCaskrin
submitted a report of George New
berry. chief of the fire department, in
dicating the number Of department
calls directly traceable to blaZes caused
by crossed wires. The latest and most
disastrous in several years was that at
the New Harper two weeks ago. when

tee, said that it would not be long
before it would be necessary to employ
a physician to spend his whole time
in looking after the school pupils. Mr..
Peake reported that the outdoor class
was progressing favorably. The chill
dren made no complaint Of n cold

claimed: Gracious, I think those chill
