practice with the sale of bonds was
to engage special counsel to pass

to Proposed Building Be-
cause of the Cost.

The Nailsburg Property Owners
Association last night voted against
the erection oe the municipal memo

their opposition was particularly as

The association met in Union Hail.

evening to collecting funds with
which to fight the Vailsburg sewe"
assessment by the city. but several
interesting lesser incidents enlivened
the meeting. Between $500 and 5000
was pledged during the evening
towards The fund to fight the storm
sewer assessment.
The memorial building was brought
to the attention of the meeting by
Charles Smith who presented a reso-
luton saying the society opposed the
project because of the cost which
would probably necessitate rise in
the tax budget. President John A.
Flammer Immediately moved to
amend the resolution to say that the
associations opposition was "particu-
larly as TO Site and the maker of
the motion accepted the change.
Charles S. Hedden opposed the res
olution, saying il would be unwise to
oppose a project favored by Il major
ity of the citizens. I'VE want a park
up here as soon as possible he urged,
land we may get some one slamming
at us if we go opposing this matter"
The opposition particularly as to
Site was then withdrawn, but the OPP
position on general ground OF econ
omy was declared by rising vote,
which was quite close, but not
counted.
