one weeks compensation with medical

an interesting character and reports

to be in a t1ourishing condition. High
praise was accorded Mayor Ernest L.

winters supply of coal has been pur-
chased.
The imperative necessity of a suita-
bic f1reproof storage space for the COL

1907 and the establishment of the
