OTHER MATTERS.

II is likely that steps will soon be
taken by the village of Laurium TO
cause the ordinances to be thoroughly
revised and compiled In as complete a
form as possible. 1t is claimed there
are several ordinances, passed since
the book of ordinances was last pub
ished which should be given their
proper place and That there are others
which have become obsolete The mat
ter has been placed in the hands of the
village attorney and it is probable that
he will be able to make u report at
the next regular meeting.

fiscal year, commenced his work yes
