city council so as To give the city the
option OF purchase every ten years and
called for regulation of prices in the
same periods, as we'll as other minor
changes.
The ordinance as it passed the council
was published in The News just before
its passage, and thls is the document
which the st. Lutte Ice Company now
refers back to the city fathers for re-
consideration.
