somewhat dryness of the meeting
Sometime ago the clerk ordered tn,
numbers that were selected by th'
council fine large, gold letters
The councilmen all noticed tha
there were no holes in the number'
for fastening them on, so instructed
the clerk to be sure and order tina
these be drilled for screws. Tn
clerk did so and the house w2ot
back that they would do so,but the,
were not making holes in those let
ters. OF course that brought GU
the inquiry How do you expec
US to put on those numbers withou
the holes to fasten them on?" TIL,
letter came back stating that the.

those numbers on as they are made
of glass and are only supposed to b.
used on plate glass windows and b.
put on with cement. Everyone ha,
