or Bragdon first took up the boxing
question by reading a petition for

imately $50 names. m a brief talk
the mayor outlined the proposition
and called attention to the fact that
the members of the council were
servants Of the people. DR.. WinsIade
offered a petition against the hold
ing Of bouts. This contained some
so names. Mayor Bragdon called AL
