DELAY IN WEST A. G. Mack, well remembered by the former city council, was formally introduced to the Kerrick administration on the occasion of his appearance at the regular weekly meeting of the council this morning.

Now that Mr. Mack has been successful in his argument with Mrs. Nellie Benner and has caused the latter to remove a certain fence from a portion of Swift street, he is desirous, he announces, of having the council formally accept the streets in his lands (the Crennan tract) as public domain. He wants to sell his lots, he states, and the water department wants to be sure his streets are bona fide public property before laying pipe lines. The council indicated that such acceptance will be made, but decided to lay the matter over for one week.

Mr. Mack, however, wanted no laying over. "You can't tell what might happen in a week," he said. "Somebody might plow one of those streets up and use it for a vegetable garden and then there are these people called squatters. I really think you should accept these streets right now." But the council stuck to its decision to think about the matter for another week.

And Mr. Mack left. 10 PLYMOUTH, Aug. 20. (JP) With weather ideal for motoring, President and Mrs.
