tors. DR.. Temple asked the reason
for this apparent neglect and Pres
ident Johnson replied that the
finances OF the department would
not permit the further improvement
Of that street. DR.. Temple referred
to a failure OF the directors to COL
lect delinquent liens, calling atten-
ton 70 the one presented by Harry
Emmons. attorney, which was 25
years old, why don't you collect
these liens and then you would have
more money with which TO do the
desired work." said Father Temple.
President johnson replied that in
twenty-five years to his knowledge
not a city solicitor would start any
legal proceedings to collect liens.
Why don't you let the public
know these things and then it could
be made an issue in the elections
and a man could be elected who
would take the proper legal pro-
ceedings to collect them" Father
Temple remarked.
Director Rudolph explained; 'The
city solicitor is not elected" )" ''Then
said DIR. Temple, get for mayor a
man who will appoint a proper man
TO the position"
At this juncture President john
son asked DIR. Temple whether he
came to the meeting in the interest
of the desired Improvement Of
Broome street or simply to scold the
directors. ''If So" continued Mr..
johnson, "the directors are not here
to sit for public scolding but to
hear and act on legitimate COM
plants"
DR.. Temple said he did not mean
to scold. but II what he had said
seemed to be scolding he wished to
apologize to the directors.
Curing his further remarks. DR..
Temple called the attention TO inac-
tivity OF the directors in providing
proper safeguards at the quarry at
Franklin and Oak streets, which
has resulted in serious injury to one
man and involved the city in a suit
for damages that will cause the ex-
penditure OF more money than a
proper protection would have cost.
DR.. Temple said he did not think
the directors ever visited that Sec
ton OF the city. This remark called
from President johnson, who pre-
viously had stated the directors had
visited that section of the city and
were aware OF the need of improve
nents, the remark, Then I lied"
The verbal tilt was brought to an
end by the second request of DR.
Temple for the pardon of the direc.
tors and the suggestion of Mr.
Monaghan that the directors request
a special appropriation from Coun.
eli for the improvement Of thai
street. The directors took the mat.
ter under advisement.

to be proud Of.
Not only that, but the men of
fifty, who have been considered
old by the men Of forty, are walk
ing up and the men in the fifties
are running things political the

wrecks of sixty, who were almost
extinct a few years ago, are
popping up into prominence in
every field from sports to auto
