DR.. Nickel addressed the jury and
explained that owing to the fact that
there had been more vats erected on
the east bank of the river than was
at first anticipated, it is necessary
that an additional Inspector be ap-
pointed to facilitate the handling of
said watts.

decided that all the watts in the par
ish could be operated with the same
number of inspectors by reallotment
Of watts, and changing location of in
spectors, thereby saving the parish
I'the expense of an additional in
spector, which would amount to ap-
proSimately 500 monthly. There
fore upon motion of Mr.. Tobias, sec
onded by Mr.. Nargassans, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
