 Beneficial to City

d. n. nedlIn 12 cents a milo for tho use of his 1 last evenings common council meet l ing in spite of the resolution intro l duced by Alderman A. NJ. Paonessa,
 having for its purpose the condemna- 1 tion of the boards action. The only members voting with the alderman
 in favor of the resolution were Coun- cilman T. Frank Mccormack and James Dunn.
