how many concerts were to be given
for that sum and it carried unanimous

approved the new appropriation and
that he would be satisfied with six con-
certs. The Marine band remains to be
heard from.

portion of Eighth street where parking
rules are in force. There will be thr-
ty-two steel signs at S7S5 each.

itself to be the "Victoria Hotel" al
though it long since ceased to be
hostlery.

The L. ). Emel gency Fleet Corpora
tion has a big bill against the city in
the matter of the governments housing
project here, and has now flied a claim

to a number of places were held up at
a previous meeting but were granted
at this meeting on report that the year
had elapsed since the proprietors had
