BILL GOES OVER UNTIL MONDAY
IN JANUARY.

minimum for the smaller property own
ers-the people who own their own homes.

said, is to put the city service on a pay
ing basis. which, il appears, il has not
been The proposition before the council
was whether or not the ordinance should

ate action 1T was contended that meter

dence) changes would not become effec-
