With one more Aldermen busi ness could have been transacted, but neither of the truant members, Messrs Starncs, Gudgcr and Leonard, put in an appearance. Mr. Waddell mudc fun for t . rrowd while it waited for something to turn up. He said the three missing Alder men had beeu beaten in a lawsuit and were afraid of being "guyed" if they came to the meeting. He raised another laugh when he said Advisor Hunt was for a bridge on Atkin street until he had learned that the cost had to be assessed against the abutting propeity (Mr. Hunt s) atter winch he didn I care bo much about the bridge. 1 here was a good attendance ot out siders.
