Adelia picked up the dull threads of
everyday life and learned to meet
Melvin Taylor now and then and greet
him with a cold little inclination Of

With a sudden impulse she left

old apple tree. The lilac branches

Another scheme is up on the
fire boat proposition.
j. G. Ollard, local marine and
mechanical engineer, this morning
submitted a proposition to the
council offering his services as a
specialist to enter the employ of
the city and investigate fire boats
and make plans and supervise the
construction of fire tug that will
meet the needs of the city.
The council vas rather well i'm
pressed with the idea, but the
matter is to be submitted to the
people now to see whether or not
they want to pay for fire boat.
If the people vote the proposition
down then it will be up to the
waterfront property to come up
