TEMPE
MEETING 0F TEMPE
 TAXPAYERS TONIGHT
An Offer on the Purchase of 1000 00 Bonds Arouses Council to Action

The common council of Tempe has called a mass meeting of the property owners of Tempe to pe held in the town hall this evening, to consider an offer for the purchase of the $30.000 issue of sewer bonds The council met in spe- cial session Tuesday evening and after a length discussion on the matter, re- sorted to a mass meeting of the tax payers, that a general sentiment from the town may be had before any formal acceptance of the purchase is made.
 Many drawbacks have been met with by the council since it's first attempt to install a sewer system in Tempe, and once when they had sold the bonds, be- cause of an apparent error in the speci- fications they were returned for correc- ton. Since then no purchaser has off cred a bid on the s30,000 bonds until now. Though that bid might be con- sidered low, when one takes into con sideration also the low amount at which the contract was let, there is a bare possibility that better price might be secured by holding off in hopes of higher bidder.
 The general outline of matters will be laid before the taxpayers at the meeting this evening and upon their sentiment in the matter much will de- pend. The hour of meeting has been set for eight o'clock.
