 NO ELECTION FOR THE BONDS Council Failed to Select Managers. 10 CALL NEW ELECTION Council VIII Arrange for November,
 Vote. Develops That Point of Order vio- lated the Proposed school Bond Issues Which Was to Have
 Been Held Sept. si.

It developed yesterday that because of the refusal of Alderman Sullivan to permit by unanimous consent the election of managers for the special school bond election, the Council was unable to elect them at it's meeting Monday. and as result the special election for the issuance of bonds called for September 2f. is now impos- sible under the new municipal code.
 Tn all probability the work will be done over again and a special bond election will be called for the general November election. It was said by members of the City Council last night that this would be done in order to issue the bonds for the needed school Improvements Under the law this can be easily done.
 It was not realized Monday night until after the Council meeting how far-re8ching the point of order made by Alderman Sullivan was. The bonds ordinance had been passed, the special election had been called and legally advertised. Their remained only one thing to do---to select the managers.
 It was proposed in the Council that the Council. under a unanimous sus- pension of the rules. elect the mana gers. But Alderman Sullivan inter- posed an objection. It being new mat ter unanimous consent was required and the managers could not be se- lected.
 The municipal code requires that the managers be selected at regular meet ing the Council at least ten days be- fore the election. The meeting Mon- day night was the last meeting at which this could be done, and the elec- tion Is now off.
 The point was made yesterday that through the failure of the City Coun- oil to appoint officers to take charge of the polls at the expected election September 3i. the election could not De held, for the law governing elections provides that the election must be ad- vertised in papers or by posters ten days before the day the vote is taken. Since the Council will not meet until Monday night, week, sufficient time Monday night week. sufficient time of that clause of the law providing for the ten days notice.
 The bond election was to raise mon- ey for an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars, the ordinance being fo be expended as follows: $140,000 for schools s60.00o for a city hospital s2S,- 900 for improving the city water works; s25,O00 for Improvements in the city's sanitary system, and $1o,ooO for a city wharf.
 The ordinance was passed and ap- proved by the mayor and but for the failure of the Council Monday in not appointing the officials to take charge of the work (three inspectors. two clerks and enc returning ofiicer) the polls to be opened in the city wards, and in case necessary, two in one ward.
 There has been diverse expression of opinion concerning certain of the appropriations, some in favor of this and others condemning that. but me matter would have been easily settled had the election taken place. Some Of the improvements mentioned have been the subject of hot discussion and some are sorely needed. but the consensus was that the school appropriation would go through at any rate.
