Hundreds OF thousands Of people
have travelled as many miles TO see

Paris, the wonder city, as seen by
those tourists who climb the Eiffel

as comprehensively by those who
view the panorama, taken by the NOV

strength and had such severe pains in my
head back of the eyes that couldn't
read. As soon as looked ut print the
pain would get worse. had severe pains
in the back OF my head and was 90 weak
that could hardly get around. simply
had no energy TO do anything.
''I was treated by several doctors but
received little help. After three years of
sickness decided to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. At first thought they were
not helping me but by the time had
taken three boxes / felt better / kept
on and the pains gradually left me and I
was able to read without headaches
After taking several boxes l was cured
and gained in weight until now weigh
200 pounds"

"The board OF estimates can author.

Controller Doremus was AT first in
clined to take issue with HalIy, main
timing that the authorization might
be made by the estimators. but that
the bonds could not be issued until the
limit Is increased. arguing that nc
debt has been created until the bond
Is issued. Later he agreed with
Hally.
IL was agreed among Hally. Doremus
and Heineman. however, that no harm
can be done by having the board OF
estimates allow the bondissue items
In fact, there may be considerable
advantage gained, since there can then
be no obstacle In the way OF calling
the board OF estimates together again
after the charter IL amended To re-au
tnoriZe the bonds Were the estimat

might be legal objection to their be

AT the meeting of the council Sat.

presented naming the order in which
the bond-issue items are To be allow

are merely allowed now for the sake
OF clearing the way for special action
next fall. The estimators have three
courses Of action with regard TO the

now provided for In the excess bond

IL Will be necessary In the charter

people at the next election to dis
tinctly state that the board OF esti-
mates NAV meet in special session
