of the Christian era a sanctuary of

architect Dinocrates offered to turn
into statue of Alexander the Great

Its chief modern interest lies in the
fact that at least since the beginning
of the middle ages it has been the
home of a little monastic republic
that still retains almost the same
autonomy granted a thousand years
ago by the Christian emperors of Con-
stantinople. In 1905 the many fortified

received the communion and a few
minutes afterward died.

OF WORKS BOARD

Economy appeared to be the watch
word of the Board of Works yesterday
afternoon, when the commissioners met
and considered numerous improve
ments and reports. Commissioner

city would save thousands of dollars
annually if it would do its own street
repairing instead of contracting 1t. The
commissions was not prepared yester-
day to place the question formally be-
fore his colleagues, but he stated plain
ly that he would do SO in the near
future. He contends that the work
could be done nine months of the year
instead of six.
