DR.. Thompson called attention TO

action.
! There seems TO be absolutely no -rea
son why the price of bread should not
be reduced" DR.. Thompson told his
hearers. and during the discussion OF
the resolution it was stated that
wheat is cheaper than it has been at
any time since five years ago.
The resolution adopted urges home

Need of street improvements in

Reason for Delay.
1t was suggested that delay in inn
