ed the wishes of the people and when the
resolution was presented several weeks
i it was not adopted, the vote standing
five to live. Yesterday, however, Alder
men Richardson and Stiles, who were op
posed to the resolution, were not present

the piant was successful. There is a ques
tion as to the legality of the meeting yes-
