cided to call for bids to rebuild the
portion of the city stockude, damaged
by fire, at an approximate cost of
about $600. In course of the discus

materials necessary to keeping tho
premises in n sanitary condition was

there was unnecessary extravnganco
along that line.
The committee were instructed to
Investigate the matter closely and al
so look into the advisability of mov
ing the ftockado to a more sanitary
and convenient location.

pro-cow stand.
