authorizing the clerk to advertise a
notice OF intention of the introduction
OF an ordinance vacsting the Oyster
Bay road. Frank King was present
and suggested that the city adopt his
booklet as official, stating that changes
would be made in same if the Commits
sioners desired it. Commissioner Ryan
said his objections were that the book
was too heavy and that the advertising
feature was a detriment, also the rail-
roads would not handle it, as all litera-
ture pertaining to cities or resorts were
Of q uniform length and thickness and
were easily placed in the racks of sta
tions and hotels. Mayor Smith said he
would give Mr.. King a chance to bid
on q booklet that the city might sug.
gest. Mr.. King was not prepared to
estimate on $4,000 of his booklets. The
proposition was referred to the adyer-
tising Committee of the Board of Trade.

termined, he will lose the sight of. On

ance from several companies covering
