advisement pending preseritat tion d.
additional evidence. "

a half, was based by Mr.. Kirchner
former president of the Alexandris
Central Labor Union, that the at.
tack on him by Mr.. Turner resulted
in his receiving a broken nose anc
eye injuries and was unprovoked

Quoting the proceedings.
The State, through Common.

ment over the reading of the min

friends advanced on Mr.. Turner
and that Mr.. Kirchner struck the
first blow. Mr.. Turner admitted he

tering the fight and his contention
was sustained by other witnesses.

cover this exterior channel and, II
the operation succeeds, Celia will be

lungs instead of the stomach. Nancy
is reported recovering from the

residential classifications will call
for one and two family detached
dwellings and semi-detached dwell

provided in the new regulations, ont
for local retail business and thu
other for general commercial pur.
poses. Two industrial zones, insteae
Of one, to break this classification
into light and heavy industria
categories also are proposed.
Another proposal studied by tn,
