 In THE CITIZEN Of February s, we pub. lished m full, proposition made Co the corporation Of Tucson, by <. O.

The Council fixed he discussion O; the matter for Monday evening March 3, and we are glad tn am nounce that afier consideration it quleied the matter by voting unanimously to postpone it indefinitely.
