ly Meeting Monday Night.

Mayor Roberts was called to the tee-
phone Monday night during the scs-
sion OF the board OF aldermen. He had
tied around one OF his fingers, In a pretty
bow, little pink string. It was to remind
the mayor that he had forgotten some
thing, The chief executive OF the city
suddenly recalled what he wanted to
remember and told the board about it.
Right at that point the reporters present
lost what looked like a good story. What
the mayor wished to remember proved
to be very prosaic. II appears that the
school commissioners are considering an
offer from William r. Harrington to sell
the city a strip OF land for school yard
purposes adjoining the grammar school
at College and Willard streets. School
Commissioner V. A. Billiard had asked
the mayor to request the president of
the board OF aldermen to appoint COM
mittee to meet the school commissioners
for the purpose of discussing the mat
ter. Mayor Roberts was not sure he
would remember the request Hence tho
