This matter was brought forcibly
b our attention at the meeting
Tuesday night. In the new quar-
tors the dear public is allowed a
much closer view of the aldermanic

rribes, and other who attend, to
aue upon. Fer instince," )" as our
Frind Dooley 'ud say. when the
ouarters were in the old hall one
ould see the Mayors chin whiskers,
but not the back of his neck. And
while we are speaking of the Judges
hirsute adornments, we want to
stste, in fairness to him, that he
really doesn't need a haircut-yet.

AS we started in to say, in the old
ball we saw the faces of those whose

omething fine for next week. Prob

DR.. Crosby was appointed health
