night, held at the Monroe Park

appeal to the referendum to defeat
the assessment roll for the Fifth
ward trunk sewer grab approved
by the city council last Tuesday
night, and signed yesterday by
Mayor Pratt. The sewer will cost
nearly 100000.
This action was taken in spite
of the fact that the city council,
on the advice of Corporation Coun-
sci Morrill,, had tasked on an emer-

ordinance, causing the assessment
ordinance to take immediate effect
