was convened at o'clock. President

also on hand.
At the outset, the question was
asked by Alderman Bear If all alder
men had been properly served with
notices of the meeting. Along this
line, Chairman Bushnell said that it
was very important that such should
be known and made a part of the
record, as the New York attorneys,
Messrs. Dillon & Hubbard, who are IN
charge of the bond issue proceedings.
were very careful on that point A
short recess was declared until the
marshal, who had the returns on the
serving of notices. could be heard
from. The marshal reported that all
members had been properly served.
Against that declaration, however, AL
deTman ROCheblave said that he found
the notice addressed to him on his
door mat when he opened the front
door to get his morning paper. The
marshal said that he would look up
this, and the president of the council
cautioned the police chief that more
caution should be exercised in the
service of the notices hereafter.
Immediately upon converting, the
chairman Of the board of bond tTus-
tees was asked if he had report.
Mr.. Bushnell Immediately arose and
read the report from his board. 1t
was, in effect, the same as above re-
ported The report was received and
adopted, and the adoption OF a reso-
luton offered by Alderman Bear con-
irmed the boards action in the
premises.
