he was 10 build the structure and
furnish the money for its erection.
This was i'm 1899 during the admin
istration of the late Schuyler ColfaX.
The city at that time did not have
enough money in its Golfers TO pur-
chase the structure outright.
The corner stone was laid in 1902
and dedicated in 1903. H.. G.. Christ

having been made between Mr.. Oil

After the plowmaker's death, the
annual installments were paid by
the city to the James oliver estate.
The last of this Indebtedness was
cleared up yesterday, the council
having made provision for this
earlier in the week.

Lime Treatment

Ethical medical journals seldom
