swerved from his purpose when the
lake he jumped into proved too shall
low for drowning, A. ]. Moss, 81, at
Lincoln Park yesterday evening
climbed back on the bank and slashed
his wrist in an unsuccessful suicide
attempt, police reported.
With but 9 cents in his pocket,
homeless, in i'll health and the savings
Of lifetime wiped out by a loan to a
woman and investment in bad oil
stock, Moss told Detective Paul Stew
ems he considered it time to bid fare
well to a sorry world.
When Moss jumped into the Lin
coin Park lake, he said, he found 1t
too shallow to sink in and his efforts
to remain under water were fruitless.
Moss climbed OK and in his dripping
clothes sat under bush and slashed
his wrist. A passerby noticed him
and called police. At the Receiving
Hospital it was said he would re-
cover.

bridge" said Mr.. Baker He stated
that he thought that the owners of
property on these approaches should
subscribe to the construction costs
and that the District should not be
assessed. The association passed the
resolution Mr.. Baker had arranged
II, and motion was made to give
the proper authorities copy of the
resolution, which was also passed
Mr.. Baker also brought the subject
of the proposed citizens council up
for discussion, and in giving his
opinion on the matter he said as the
plan stood there was no provision for
the various sections of the city being
represented. LAS the matter stands
now," he said, every member of the
council could be from the southeast
section of the city" He then made a
motion for an amendment in the plans
whereby every section of the city
could be represented, which was
adopted. Miss Cora Van SAINT, presi-
dent of the association, presided.
