eli the question Of the charter election
came up. City Attorney Shepard stated
that II the council was OF the opinion that
whether the decision In the bond matter
went against the city or not. 1t was BEST to
hold the election - soon - possible, or II
the council believed that the bond election
was the least important and even in case OF
IN adverse decision the city charter election
should b held first, then the thing TO do
was 70 fix the election at once for the 23d.
But II the council deemed 1t best to await
the actiOn Of the court. then the whole mat
ter should b postponed until next week.
Thursday, when the decision wonld prob
ably b ct hand. Postponement Was de-
cided upon BY the following vote:
Ysas--Calligan. Hall. Miller. Phillips, WALL
angford
Nays-HalL Mckenzie. TwichelL
since the matter cannot como mp till next

the bond eleclion ahead of the charter
election IL the decision Is against the valid
fly Of the bonds.
