the toboggan chute. It is alleged that

over to the lighting committee for in
vestigation.

had an eve on the basement Of the flre
station as a place for the winter stor-

dashed last evening, for after the mat

and il was decided that all available
space would be used for housing city
tools and equipment. The matter Of

hands Of the city attorney for collee-
tion.

that the city was paying high prices
for hay which it used and endeavored
