CONFERENCE TO Be HELD TUESDAY NIGHT
Prospects Seem Good for an AMIGA ble
settlement of sewer Building
Proposition In Favorable
Manner.

Richard Okeefre, as chairman OF the
mass meeting which was held Thursday
night in Workmen temple to discuss the
sewer bond proposition has returned to the
city and announced the committee he was
empowered to name, three from each ward.
The committee consists of these:
First ward-w. b. Cheek, John Mcmillan,
p. ]. Sheehy.
Second ward--John Franek. DIR. w. J..
McCrann. L. J. Carpenter.
Third ward-John Kennedy, Frank Lee,
Pat Barrett.
Fourth ward-August Miller, Balthas Jet
ter, DR.. W. ]. Faux.
Fifth Ward-P. c. Caldwell, ]. ]. Ryan.
Charles Cummings.
Sixth ward-R. B. Montgomery, Tom
Hector. David Anderson.
This committee will meet with the city
council next Tuesday night at its regular
meeting to informally discuss the matter.
At this meeting a date will be set for a
meeting between the members OF the coun-
ell. the committee and the representatives
of the stock yards company. Something
definite should come from this meeting, and
1t is probable that another mass meeting
will be called in the near future to hear
the report of the committee.
The consensus Of opinion seems to be
that the matter will be adjusted satisfac-
torily to all concerned, as the opponents
OF the bonds are less active than they were
before the meeting. Good arguments are
said to have turned several members OF
the opposition until they at present are
on the fence and will probably shortly be
in favor of the bonds.
1t is not known whether the stock yards
company will make a proposition to assist
in the building of the sewer, but there
are prospects that some sort of a PROPOSE.
ton will be made.
