presented a resolution in the council
last week requesting the mayor and
chief of police to prohibit prize fights,
boxing exhibitions and sparring
matches. The game in the Cream City

for Zimmerman's resolution.

The question of whether or not the

the people.
In an adjourned session held last
night the city council by vote of
four to two passed the ordinance
calling for an election for the above
purpose. The council was In session
about one hour and thirty minutes
before the matter was finally decid-
ed. The ordinance had a close
shave to get through and for q
a while 1t looked as though the
measure was doomed to defeat.
The ordinance was submitted by
Attorney j. Lea Cannon, a men,
ber of the board of school trustees.

This petition is as follows:
To the Honorable City Council OF
the City of Waxahachie:
The undersigned members of the
Shakespeare Club of the city OF
Waxanachie most respectfully call
your attention TO the condition OF
the public free school buildings In
our city.
These buildings are not only in
general appearance, not in keeping
with the dignity, progress and en-
lightenment Of our city, but they
are, as we are informed, wholly in.
adequate to the proper conduct OF
our schools. Our information is
that the enrolment in one room
exceeds eighty, and we are further
informed that all other school rooms
are overcrowded. This should be
remedied, II from no higher reason
than from a sanitary point of view
We assume, however, that there

condition for the purpose of de-
termining whether or not the city
would be able 10 float the amount
aksed for. After brief discussion
OF the bond proposition Alderman
Thompson moved to defer the mat
ter until the regular meeting In
April.
Addresses were made In favor of
the immediate passage of the ordi-
nance by Judge NJ. h. Templeton,
Mr.. @. G. Groce and Mr.. c. w.
Gibson, president Of the school
board.
Alderman Thompson then with
drew his motion and Alderman
Langsford moved that the ordinance
be adopted as read.
The roll was called with the fol-
lowing result:
Yea-Langsford. Thornhill, Lam
caster, McDuffie.
Nay-Thompson, TimmIns.
The date for holding the election
was set for Saturday, April IL, and
none but property holders are quail
ified TO vote on the proposition.
The bonds are 10 run forty years
and will bear four per cent interest
per annum, interest payable semi

One of the most interesting fea-
lures OF the councils session was
tha presentation by Mr.. G. G. Groce
OF petition from the Shakespeare
Club urging the council to order an
election as called for by the ordi-
nance and give the people q chance

Groce made very nice little speech,
