The Genoese upon his mission herd Had heard strange tales of fiery dragons serd To crush the sail that dared with heedless pride O'er nasi Atlantic’s heaving main to ride. Our tiny ship, alike its sails unfurled To verdure forth into an unknown world. Where lurked the mighty dragons of the Law I re pared with sharpened fang and tearing claw To rend asunder all our crew and ship. lint steady was the hand and firm the grip Thai kept ns constantly upon our course Tho' buffeted by waves of giant force. At first, encountering in silent awe, The rocks of Contracts. Element'ry Law, Which, reinforced by Pleadings and by Torts, Did almost then confirm those vague reports. Put undeterred and boldly striking out. We sailed around the first year’s Cape of Doubt. Some men were lost, some members of our crew. Put such as these indeed were very few. A storm arose; and lashed terrifically Py waves of N. I. L. and Equity. And Property and Crimes and all the like. Our ship, tho’ trembling, onward yet did strike. Then, through the Straits of Sales and Bankruptcy And Bailments, Wills and such adversity As Partnership and Corporation Law— When safely through, at last a light we saw. 7 0

Councilman Fuiman proposed an indoor swimming pool for homeless cats. The Council awoke to this suggestion and passed it on anonymously. An argument arose, however, as to the site of the new construction. Fuiman wanted it erected on a lot in Frankford that he had bought six years ago for about $1000.00 and had not been able to sell.

He stated that if the city took them by their right of eminent domain, their value at the most would not exceed $40,000.00. The Council then decided that inasmuch as Frankford and Torresdale were widely separated parts of the city, there would be use for two such pools, and directed that both pieces of ground be purchased.

Our port was nearly reached. but now, alas, I’prose the rocks most difficult to pass: The Constitution. Evidence and seas Of Practice and of Domesticities. We heaved and strained as well by night as day: Our Pitots those who pointed us the way— With wise precision ever onward steered. And finally all dang'rons points we cleared. The mists now lift, and leave exposed to view A sparkling isle in sea of lustrous blue, The Isle of Graduation which we sought, For which we strove four years and bravely fought. Our ship rides lightly on the ocean's crest. The stormy voyage o'er, we come to rest. And now, at last, with cheerful hearts and gay We anchor safely in a tranquil bay.
