pared by Charles Girdler, but because
of the illness Of the chief executive,
which made It impossible for him to
be at his Office. this meeting was
postponed. However, the actual trans
fer has been made, and the business
planned for this morning is only of
secondary Importance, and will not
suffer from the delay.

tenn are now in the hands OF the city
and county, and according to the new
municipal engineer. William A Wall,
