<br />for water h~d~ants in the Sixth and Seventh Wards by said Wards.
<br /> Er. Hall vacated the Chair, which was then occupied by ~&r. Tyler.

<br />some length by Eessrs. Parker, Cooke, Johnson, and Fall.

<br />bitrators, to settle the disputed question as to who shouldpay for water hydrants in the Sixth
<br />and Seventh Wards, andto allow the decision of these arbitrators to be final."
