NO BUSINESS FOR
 COUNCILMEN TONIGHT

Although the Aldermen are sched- uled to meet in the City Council cham Der tonight, no meeting will be held. The meeting last Monday night was date being overlooked. It is the plan of the Aldermen to go to the hall and simply take steps to fix a date for the meeting, which will be, fin all probabil- ity, the next regular meeting night
 At present the Councilmen have only routine matters to attend to and act on the floating of some of the recently authorized bonds. It Is probable. too, that the Aldermen will act on the pe- tition of the Traction Company to put in a switch on Ripley Street. which will allow the company to re-establish the belt line.
