MUNICIPAL ICE PLANT HAUNTS
 MAYOR WILSON
Aldermen CoughIin and Moorey Hold Him Up to Glib
 Promises.
ALL BONDING MEASURES
 HALTED BY COUNCIL
Mayor Doesn't Think People, Can Have Ice Plant
 Now.

Almost openly charging Mayor Will son with hypocrisy and defiance of the popular will Alderman J. H. CoughIin and Alderman Moorey succeeded at 5 the a1dermaric session last night in laying upon the table a measure to accomplish the submission of bonding measures to the electors, calling for an expenditure of almost $1,5OO,000.
 Alderman Moorey wanted to know why bonds for a municipal ice plant were not included, since the people voted in favor of the proposition.
 T move he said, that the resolu- ton concerning bonds for these inn provements be laid on the table until the bonds for the municipal ice plant be included.''
 Mayor Wilson said he was of the opinion that the bonds for the muni- cipa1 ice plant did not comply with the terms of the. home rule act, and therefor could not be voted upon at this time. In reply to a question from Alderman Moorey, he said he was of the same opinion last fall.
 Then why did you allow this mat 1 ter to go before the people?s' de- manded Alderman Moorey. stWhy have you allowed this matter to stand as it has without any attention on your part, after the people have ex- pressed themselves in favor of it2" i Why am not your conservation, ' I replied Mayor Wilson.
 l No, said Alderman Moorey, "bui
 you're our skipper and we naturally
 look to your worship for guidance I The people voteA for these bonds an6
 they want the municipal ice plant.
 am of the opinion that these bonds .t are perfectly legal and I am in favor
 of letting them go with the others; le

 I Alderman Coughlin said that ths time was growing short and if any thing was to be done about a mun1ci
 pal ice plant it should be. done now rather than In the summer. 2. Finally, on the motion Of Alderman
 Coughlin, the matter was tabled fol
 two weeks, in order that an opinio1 Il may be obtained from the city attor- They as to whether under the home rule
 act the matter to bond for "a municipa. T ice plant may be included with the
 other matters for which it is proposed
 to bond.
