Fareo's Plans for Filtration and Light
ing Plants May Be DELAYED.

Objections are being made to the

the council resolution coupled the two
propositions together, and did not
designate how much each should re-

lots contained the label of the typo
graphical union, when that, or any
other marks on the ballot are prohibit
ed under the state law, is also urged
against the validity of the bonds.

tured from the plans its commander

the Roosevelt left Etah August 15
