resting places for the weary ones whose

conceivable corner OF the building. from
the private office Of the police judge TO
the eubby hole under the stairs where
the brooms are generally kept,
Strangers Given work.

preached the desk sergeant at the police
station last night and asked for lodging.
Udgreen says he has been In the city
only two days. while Holgreen admits
a residence Of a week or more. They
maintain that they were hired to clean
snow off the streets by street ccnmls-
sloner G, NJ. johnson.

mayor. Is daily gaining strength with a
large element OF the citizens who recently
nominated Frank Koutsky on their ticket.

condition 10 his acceptance of the
nomination. Miller refused 10 withdraw
and Koutsky declined the proposed
nomination by the citizens ticket.

nominees Of tho citizens ticket Is alsb
reported to have withdrawn, which now
leaves q clear field for City Attorney

win endorse Murphy for his old place.
A petition containing a majority OF the
names of the delegates TO the recent
convention will be presented TO the city

compel him TO enter the new names.
