Because of Mayor Boutwell's Illness, City
Council Meets at His Home.

Because of the inability of Mayor
James NJ. Boutwell, to journey to the
city hall to preside over the regular
meeting of the city council, the alder
men gathered last evening at the may
or's home and disposed of several mat
ters which demanded immediate atten-
ton. Prior to the council meeting, the
five aldermen present unanimously chose
Patrick Fl. Ryan of ward president of
the board for the year ensuing, the nom
nation being made by Alderman j. P.

al officials which is usually done at the
first regular meeting of the council was
laid over for two weeks to await the re-
| turn of Alderman II. G. Shurtleff, who is
| in New Orleans on business. The mayor

negotiate for loan not to exceed $780,
600 for the support of the schools until
money is available from taxes, and the
same officials were empowered to nego-
tate for a loan not to exceed $4,000,
the money to be used for general pur
poses. The money is to be secured at
the Capital Savings bank. 1t was de-
cided that the schedule of prices for
rental of the city hall auditorium effec-
tive last year, had proven satisfactory
and the same schedule was retained for
the next IL months. 1t was voted to
have the present electric sign removed
from its position over the entrance of

"MAN-EATING SHARKS"
BRING OUT RESERVES
COney Museum Forced to Paint
Sea Gate Off Sign.

"Man-eating sharks caught mile OFF
Sea Gate" were advertised outside
Hupert's Museum, on Surf AYnue,
Coney Island, last night William A.
Norwood, manager of Henderson's, and
William Ward, president of the Coney
Island Bank, saw it. They went
straight to the police station and de-
manded Of Acting Captain Kenny that
he find out whether Hupert's had man
eating sharks and whether they had
been caught off Sea Gate.
Summoning the reserves, Kenny
strode boldly into Hupert's. There
were two fish on ice. One was feet
inches long and the other 6 feet 2
inches. The acting captain and the
reserves were about equally divided as
to whether they were sharks or dog
fish. None ventured an opinion as to
their probable diet.
Daniel Naglc, manager Of the mu-
scum, averred that they were man
eaters of the most vicious brand and
had been killed only after a terrific
struggle. They were caught OFF Sea
Gate. he thought. Later he guessed it
might have been the Ambrose Channel,
and he finally compromised on the
coast Of New Jersey. But it was ter
rife struggle, he insisted.
The part Of the sign which referred
70 Sea Gate was painted out. Mr..
Nagle thinks that terrific struggle"
will just about fit in its place.
