dads at the regular Monday nigh:

ing. something which has not occurred
for some time, but as all were there
strictly on business this unusual at
tention may not be construed as indi
cating a revival of interest In the do
ings of that body. Councilmen Blake

was called and everything moved for
ward with a celerity which brought the
meeting to a close in jig time. After
the reading of the minutes of the pre
vious meeting, the Clerk reported the
sum of $1,923.34 in the treasury and
the disbursements for the preceding

form to the government requirements.
Councilman Lehmann wanted to know
it there w’as any way hy which the
plans might be changed in order to
place the bridge at a point farther to
the South, stating that in his opinion
the bridge would be more fortunately
situated if built from the end of Bel
mont Point to the base of the Sand
Spit. Mr. Jones stated that the bridge
wculd be built near the site of the pre
sent structure. Mayor Diamond want
ed to know if Jones would mako the
