 Garage Locations

The common council will meet to- night at { o'clock to act on Mayor A. N. Paonessa's veto of resolution adopted at the last meeting by which the police board was instructed to purchase White automobile chassis for ths patrol service, and on his veto of the resolution providing that gar ages shall not be built within 100 feet of . church.
 The former resolution would re- auire the board to overdraw its sppro- prtAkion, he explains and in the latter instancs hs feels 900 feet from A church building is better. The police board has recommended the purchase of q Buick chassis, which is within the appropriation.
 A meeting Of the board Of public works will bs held before the coun- ell meeting. The board will report its contract awards on the completion or ths Belvidere sewer system and on the purchase of a catch basin cleaner.

 Means joked with Senator Moses, feDuDllCdTl, Ne" ''''' he latters interest in seeking 10 get war fraud investigations.
 "Oh. l know about it." Senator Moses told him. Every time I had conference in my office you reported i, down there"
