City Council Peace Session Seems To
Have A Very Exhilarating
Result On All.
There was a nice peaceful session
of the city council Momlny evening
where the olive-oil of contentment
and the fig-paste of unanimity stood

short fusel

been nmde by the former engineer
in establishing the grade for the
ilolbrook block while others de
clared the engineer gave no grade.
The matter was finally tabled.
It was decided to lower the brow
kegs of giant of the hill on Philadelphia street
house and the some six feet and proportion the
grade accordingly.
