taking all pains to provide for safety

ira precaution has been taken by in
stalling 60 hydrants in the bu ldinS

British metropolis more than $50 acrus

buildings which have been constructed

May Reduce Salaries

Mexico City, November 27.-An ex-
ecutive session of the Chamber of Depu-

taken.
There is a report current here that
