port of the committee Of eighteen on the
sewer bond uues ton. The committee will
recommend that the mass meeting adopt a
report in favor OF special election to vote
on 1850 600 bond issue. The Union Stock
Yards company will then publicly declare
its agreement with the committee. 1t is
also likely that the minority report of the
committee will also be read before the as
semby and submitted for considera ton. II
is understood that this mass meeting is an
advisory body and it is probable that what
ever course they recommend to the council
will be followed. However the real power
to call a special election lies with the coun
Gil alone. So far the council has not pub
/ licly expressed an opinion either way The
meeting will he one of great public in
terest.

ness meeting yesterday afternoon at
