Municipal electric light plants. mu- nicipal slaughter houses and municipal Christmas trees were discussed at the regular meeting of the city commission yesterday afternoon The matter of sending out registrars during the reg istration for the city primaries and general election was also discussed and disapproved, while the only business actually scheduled to come before the meeting, the hearing of protests over the extent of Paving District No. :, was by consent of Alexander Baker, attorney for the protestants, deferred to sepcial meeting to be held next Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
 | The matter of the proposed munich pal slaughter house, presented by the Civic League was allowed to go over without definite action. The discus sion of the plan to call an election on the question of a municipal electric light plant, led to the commission di- recting the city engineer to make an investigation of the approximate cost of an adequate plant and to report | back on March 15.

 Municipal Christmas Tree
 Permission was granted s. E. John son to occupy a portion of the alley alongside the Doyle Pool Hall with a razor sharpening outfit. Attorney A D. Leyhe, appeared in behalf of Mrs. Nellie Mcclure. of 321 North Third avenue, asking permission to move two frame structures from the rear of her lot to the front of the lot The old building ordinance as well as the new prohibited the moving of buildings in this district without first obtaining the consent of adjoining property own CTS. This permission had not been se- cured and the building inspector stopped the work. The commission directed the city attorney to draft an amendment to the ordinance making it possible for the commission to grant such permission in its discretion A recess was taken until this morning when it is expected that the draft of this proposed ordinance will be ready for consideration by the commission.
 The discussion of the plan to send out registrars instead of confinfng reg istration exclusively to the city hall building was voted down by Commis- sioners Richey, Cope and Corpstein. Mayor Young and Commissioner Mac Bean contended that there are many persons who would not find it con- venient to visit the city hall during business hours and that their names would not therefore be found on the registration books. In this connection Clyde Timberake and William F. De- heney Jr., addressed the commission as representatives of the labor or ganiZations and stated that many men are employed until five and six o'clock and that they would have no opportunity to visit the city hall dur
 ing the day time. They felt that reg istrars should be sent from house to house. Commissioner Richey thought this might afford opportunity for po
 litical activity, while Commissioner MacBean said that the same might be said if all who wished to register were obliged to visit the city hall. He thought if registrars could not be sent out, there should at least be more than one place for registration. proposing Five Points and the High school. as the additional districts
