00 the corner of elgin and church streets i have not yet heard one plausible argu ment to convrfice tue of the superiority of the adiuiapropertyover the ryders either as to position price or title i do sincerely trust the council will rvcind their action and make tie best use of their common sense and sound judgment by selecting the ryder pro perty and thus win sgxin the heady approbation of the
