are these. About three months ago,
according TO the statement of Hud-

loan OF so. The two men had not
met in the meantime Until this morn

he had placed a punishment against
his salary. The latter told him that
sufficient time had elapsed and that
he wanted the loan returned. Bow.

despite his wounds, grappled with him

All the bids were referred to sub

WOULD SELL At
PUBLIC ACTION

The Council Committee on Grounds
and Buildings declined last night to
authorize the sale of city property un.
less 1t Is offered at public auction.
The question came up when II was
stated that George I. Byrne, chief
clerk of the building inspector. was
willing to give the city $1,000 for it's
piece OF vacant ground at Eleventh
and Leigh streets.
Though some OF the members were
OF the opinion that the city could
strike a better bargain by accepting
Mr.. Byrne's offer than by putting the
property UP at public auction, it was
deemed best to dispose of 1t by the
latter method. In other words. as
Mr.. Blake expressed. the committee
did not care to put itself In a posi-
.tion to be criticised.
On motion of Building Inspector
Beck the committee also decided to
dispose of It's Paramount town hall
huilding. and lot. Mr.. BECK being au-
thcrsxetf to advertise r. for sale. = He
said that the property was only paying
the city $3.50 year In rental and
most of this usually went for repairs.
Then the committee adopted q mo-
ton made by Mr.. Blake to the effect
that committee Of three be appointed
to ascertain exactly how much vacant
property the city owns. With view
OF selling 1t and putting the money In
street improvements. Those named to
make this inquiry were Messrs. Blake,
Brown and Seiph.
