Of $4,000 city bonds will be brought
up and acted upon. The needs Of the

recommend that the bonds be issued.
1t Is not believed that there wiz be
any serious opposition to the ordi-

may be some changes IN the items OF
expenditures. In the Board OF Alder
men, however. strong opposition has
developed, and the result Is in doubt.
