The first of these bears on the Mayors

With a stiff upper lip when seen in the

Cafe Boheme last night faced this di-

lack of conscience in the use Of public
funds and there have been instances of
seventeen men being paid to do the work
of six.
But in the end these inspectors, who
have worked with nothing. sometimes,

put their frosting over it all with some
beautiful words about greatest pleasure
