In normal times. 1t was the custom

But this is not likely. In the meantime.

Patterson is of the belief that the

a view to having the city take a more
active part in the control of its own af-

"rhe city authorities are absolutely

Pearson.
Il am going to Lawrence, tomorrow.

civic authorities a chance to assist in
the preservation of life and property.
Il am going to have this thing settled
