II Is likely that decisive action will
be taken upon the ordinance recently
introduced by Councilman Hattery
providing for the bonding OF the city
TO the extent of $4,000 for the build.
ing OF a new city hall. The greater
part of the interest manifested is be
ing centered upon this ordinance.
Next In Importance, is the bill TO
be introduced, for the sanctioning OF
the plan of the board of public service
In the remaining OF all OF the stree,s
of the city running north and south.
The measure is highly indorsed by the
city engineer, the board OF public
service, the mayor, the business men
and the citizens In general. There is
scarcely the shadow of a doubt but
that the measure will be passed.
Councilman Seamon's ordinance tc
instruct the board of public service TO
execute a ten.year contract with the
Massillon Water Supply company a;
the rates previously named, will likely
be placed upon its final passage. The
rules of the council compel a third
reading OF the ordinance but these
may be suspended in this case. This
measure is the subject of much com
ment locally. At the last meeting OF
the old council. the water rate bill was
brought up for Its final passage. Mr..
Seaman voted against the bill but II
was carried nevertheless. When pre-
sented TO the mayor, the bill was We.
toed but that Official failed to present
a written statement OF the reasons for
his action within the time limit, max
Ing the water rate bill valid according
to the statutes OF the state. The val.
ldity OF the bill remained a secre,
until the last meeting OF the council
when Mr.. Seamon sprung q surprise
upon that body by producing evidence
which showed the veto OF the mayor |
10 be invalid. Thus he showed him
self 10 favor the bill which he I'D
80 strenuously opposed. He
then introduced the ordinance for tho
execution OF the ten year contract |
with the water company at the rates
which he had opposed.
