When the POSTMASTER called on Dr.

him an ovation, He discussed the

that II viii dwell too much on the
past: the peril of large church that
too many of its members will be lost

League was that they should feel
their responsibility TO their church.

And I know the city 10 being
faxed" he added, with great serious
ness.
THAT leg is worth hardly twenty
five cents.
And how much did you say the
city is going to pay him." he asked.
1.-The sum Of $i2." volunteered Clerk
Ben August.
That means that We are being
faxed to the extent OF $1l.I5." said
Mr.. Donahoe.
But / am going to vote for 1t. as
the matter is too far gone now

mittee. Last week the Common Coun-
Gil voted to pay the claim and 1t came

ter Mr.. Donahoe had had his say.

ion that the city had been faxed in
claim OF $50 submitted by DR.. Julian

The matter was threshed out in a
Common Council meeting several
weeks ago and that body approved
payment OF bill when 1t came up last
week.. The Board had also just ap-
proved the bill when Mir i5onahoe OBJ

When this was called TO his atten-
ton, he readily agreed to let the mat
ter drop, saying that ne merely de-
sired the body to know how he felt
about the matter.
Aside from IL lot OF ineonsequentiai
concurrent matters which went
through with little or no protest. the
aldermen voted on motion of Mr.. Nit
chell to merge the names OF Park and
