found no limitation upon the inter-

that there is a time limit on their

As soon as the box of papers con-

poets to find some authority on which
to accept or reject the recent issue.
The state of the charter leaves him
much at sea. he said
Would Publish Charter
Because of the uncertainty regard

attorney recommended that steps be
undertaken to republish the charter
and make sufficient copies that the
city would be protected. IF fire con-
