meeting of tho city solicitors was hold
at tho fdeeral building at ton oclock
this forenoon, when tho solicitors
wore assigned tho territory In which
thoy are to work, and were supplied
with the necessary blanks. At the
close of this meeting a number of the
solicitors began work, especially those
who woro assigned blocks in tho bus
iness districts with a view of winding
up the work as quickly as posslblo.
Tho commlttco appointed to solicit

quito a number of subscriptions dur
ing tho day. .,

for $1,000.
