burger in his present job" will expire
with tie close of this year.
And. for that matter. the inspection pos
sibly was the last that will be held in the

into office IT is hoped that the new qua

be ready for occupancy. The members
of the Almony club want 10 follow the

was particularly appropriate that th,
Sheriff should be- on hand 10 greet the
