 the board. The 26 sections did not | seem to cover all axigencies to Alder man Graves There was nothing in ii about leaving horses or machines on the street and the time such should
 be permitted to stand. For instance
 Churoh and North street are now con-

 mittee, chief of police and a few auto-
 mobile owners should get together and
 remedy the deficiencies.
