The Mansion house, at London,
which will be the future residence Of
the new Lord Mayor, was built by the
elder Dance between 1899 and 1853

the discovery of numerous springs Of
water in digging the foundations,
which had to be based upon piles.
Originally the facade had a heavy at

expenditure of 100000 in the cam

practically since the close of the in

Heyburn's report would declare that
no evidence had been uncovered to
show that Senator Stephenson spent
money unlawfully in his campaign
for the senate. 1t was known that
