The County Commissioners are
telling one on themselves that hap
pened in this city. They had agreed
to meet here last Monday and inspect

were closed, q fact that the commits
sioners had overlooked when making

rs though knotty problem will soon
confront the Common Council. Al

truck has been suggested
and talked over. Webster has just in
stalled such truck and ii has been
successfully tried in other cities
