signed a petition to the City Council ask
ing that body to grant gas works privilege,
what has been done in the premises t Is It
possible they have forgotten that they were

and not one in particular ? If they have
not the nerve they had better resign and
let others take the place who will have the
interest of the majority at heart. The Board
of Trade is advertising Albany at consid
erate expense to get capital Invested here,
mm me vity uouncll should second the ef
fort. I hope the matter of iras works mav
be discussed through the columns of the
Democrat so that the tax payers may be
