During

of

expressed
the
opinion
that

lines
suggested

"At

"I

to

that,

Alderman
Robert
McKay,
who
opened
the
discussion,
told
his
colleagues
that
"I,
for

come
to
the
conclusion
that

Anticipating

he
said,
made
it
necessary
for
the
city
to
see
that
proper

were
maintained.
"We
can

of

he
continued.
"We
