ed by close attention. to numerous an
nual reports received during the January
meeting. the council seemed reluctant to
stretch the session into the customary
three hour length and Alderman Healy's

sessions of the past might have been
,losed up in 20 minutes seemed to prod
5he city fathers into realiza tion of the
1enchant for dilatory action. The Itai
an Athletic club applied for permission

lutnA was SidHtOA oii ~ Hiutioh
