ATTY. GENERAL HOLDS
ORDINANCE DEFECTIVE
The 10 CENT SPECIAL TAX Is
NOT AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
New Amendment Election Must BE
Held Before Bond Issue Elec-
ton Would BE Held Valid.

The ordinance of the city coun-
hitting certain charter clauses.
among which we're the provisions
setting out 10 cents for school build
ing purposes, was submitted to the
attorney general on Tuesday, and
upon examination is found to be de-
fective. The only proposition sub
mitted by the city in said ordinance,
adopted by vote of the people, was
the proposition with reference to the
setting apart OF 10 cents for school
purposes and the expenditure of it,
the other question being defeated
l. now appears that an entirely new
election will have to be held after
the passage of proper ordinance be-
fore the funds needed for the cree
ton of High school building will
be available or can be voted by the
people
In other words it will be necessary
to hold an election to determine
whether or not the charter may be
amended to admit of a special 10
cents tax for school purposes, and If
this amendment carries it will then
be necessary to vote bond issue.
A committee has been appointed
by the city council and like COM
nlittee has been appointed by the
school board for the purpose of going
into the details Of the matter, and
q report or recommendation will
probably be made to the council in
adjourned session tomorrow OF next
day.

BULGARIA REJECTS
RUSSIAN ULT|MATUM
ALSO SENDS ULTIMATUM TO
SERBIA DEMANDING SERBI-
AN MACEDONIA.
Serbia Is Given Until Tomorrow to
Make Definite Reply-Beliey-
ed She viii Ignore
Demand.

LONDON. Oct. 6.-Bulgaria has
definitely decided to cast her lot
with the Austro-Germans, according
tn dispatches received here this at
ternoon.
Bulgaria has sent to Serbia an ul-
tjmatum demanding the restoration
of Serbian Macedonia.
Bulgaria also rejected the demand
contained in the Russian ultimatum,
according to Petrograd dispatches.
Serbia must give definite reply
70 BuIgaria's demands by tomor-
row. II is expected that Serbia will
ignore or reject the Bulgarian de-
.nand. and in that event bulgarian
armies, already massed ON the Ser
hian frontier, will attack at once.
Gar Ferdinand at the same time
is reported to have rejected the de-
,,.aud of the Russian foreign office
and an immediate attack would
cause no surprise here.
