Meeting Of City COuncil==An=

pIs Iesction for August 18th at which
tio,e they hope the people of High

- Snend on the streets. The propo.
Lion is the same as before the
s,oters Sl,te March 7th when the issue
was badly defeated. The registra
t;on Gp books are now open and will
remain rlU open until August 5th, You
sboujd register at once so you will
have a chance to vote if you desire.
Il is rather UNUSUAL to call for a
second bond election within the
Snace of 4 months.

500 will be accepted.
Surely $1GO is small enough for
the CITY to contribute to the volun-
