GUS Parts OF Cy-Garages To Connect With Sewer

established price for cards of thanks
but 1t would be illogical to make
such charge against the city faith
ers for their expression of satistac-
ton over the action OF those in au.
thority at Trinity Episcopal church,
West King street. Recently the of
ticials of the church decided to re.
move the bay window that project
ed out over the sidewalk In front OF
the rectory and the work Ia about
completed. The bay window was
an Objectionable feature. but 1t was
not In the power of any one to have
II removed. only by the good will
and pleasure OF the church officials.
SO appreciative is tho city council
that at last nights meeting OF that
body, the thanks of the council
wore officially rendered those in an
thority at the Episcopal church.
Such action was ordered inscribed
upon the minutes and properly
transmitted to the church people.
