ANOTHER
REFUND
ELECTION
Nay be the Outcome Of the Close Con-
test Of saturday-Ths Council
z Committee
DISCUSSES THE SITUATION
But Adjourns without Coming to a
Definite Standardization Nay
be Taken Tonight.

Last night, at a meeting Of the spec
iaI committee Of council on the refund.
the result of the election of Saturday
was discussed, but nothing definite was
decided upon. and whatever Is done win
likely transplre at the meeting Of coun-
eli this evening. Those present In
ciuded cuuncllmen Maxwell. Water
house, Kprn, Marschner and Chew, and
Mayor Sweeney
In the course Of the committees de-
alterations, which were entirely infor-
mai, the advlsabIllty Of taking steps for
another refund election was gone over
in detail, and the preponderence Of sem
tIment seemed to be in favor Of It. One
committeeman said he did mot believe
defeat would come II another election
were held. His idea was to have the
finance committee Of council proceed Mt
once to mako up its annual appropria-
ton ordinance, and report-as 1t must
that 1t is necessary to lay special levy
Of thlrty-hve or thlrty-seven cents to
cover the $4,000 Of compromise bonds
due in July. Then hold the ordinance
and levy up in council, and give the
people the opportunity to say whether
they want the refund or special levy
that will increase taxes this year one
half. The councilman was also in favor
Of separating the bond issue proper
from the electric light feature. Many
voters, he pointed out, favor one and
are against the other.
1t Is likely steps will be taken at the
meeting Of council tonight to place the
refund issue before the people again,
probably with the refund proper and
the electric light feature separate.
1t was generally agreed that mistakes
had been made in not providing enough
voting precincts for Saturdays election,
and some were badly located. For In
stance. that on the Island, was out Of
the beaten path and decidedly incon-
venient for citizens living on the lower
part OF the Island on Front and Penn
streets. One member of the committee
gave 1t as his opinion that the refund
would have carried had. precinct been
located at the end Of the suspension
bridge. Then, in the Fourth ward, the
precinct was out on Eighteenth street
a very inconvenlent and Out-of-the-way
location.
