meeting held at the residence of=Mr. Mc='
Kee last week, it was decided to pur-
chase new chairs and carpets for the

out. A warrant has been placed in Con-
stable McGrath's hands for their appre-
honsion. The caretaker says that the
next gang that gets into that hall with-
out first paying the rent is a good one,
