That the efforts Of Charles Benell

was evidenced yesterday afternoon
when the promoter appeared before
the board of supervisors to breach
his scheme Although no formal Pc

the board, the general sentiment OF
the supervisors seemed to be against
the scheme, and it is highly improo-

selling nothing but beer and con-

would admit Of no adverse criticism.
