Since June Is, 1874. he's never

Born in 1923, of southern Con-

he burned the midnight oil and
spent his leisure moments over his
books.
At II he got his first assignment

one of the most outstanding figures

Rev. Reed lever sought a Foun-

His sight and hearing still are

Rev. Reed was elated when ma

CITY ATTORNEYS BILLS
CONTINUED from page u

city business for the first four
months of this year, except to point
out that there is nothing definite
given in this bill as to what these
services consist of.
The two bills for $50 for legal SER
vices in connection with the drawing
of ordinances for two bond issues
are strongly objected to by Alder
man Clark who declares that Cald-
well and Raymond, New York bond
attorneys are paid by the city for
the drawing up of such ordinances
governing bond issues and conse-
quently the city attorneys services
amount to practically nothing in
these particular cases. The alder
mar says the city pays on an aver
ave of 800 per ordinance to Cald-
well and Raymond for the drawing
up of these bond issuing ordinances.
The bill of $40 for a messenger to
New York is excessive, Alderman
Clark states. he pointing out that
other city officials in the past have
been content with putting in a bill
for earfare and lunch in such an
instance.

of Mrs. Andrew Sabo from her
husband after one month of married
life. The story in connection with
this case dates back to this city

telephone pay station in a drug store

ed the rooms and obtained work in
the round house at that place.
During the telephone conversation
the connection was broken and al
though Mrs. Sabo tried to again
reach her husband she was unsuc-
cessful. As she heard nothing fur
Their from him and she made an
effort to locate him. Going to ia
maico. she located the rooms he had
rented and also found that he had
obtained the position. but he never
appeared at the rooms or at the
round house.

and learned that it had been made in
the drug store pay station and that
when hen husband left the booth, af-
ter the connection had been broken,
he declared his wife had hung up
