COUNCIL WILL
MEET MONDAY
Little Except Routine Bust
ness Expected at July
Session.

Members of the Grand Forks city
council will hold their regular meet
ing for July at the city hall next
Monday evening.
Little except routine business is ex-
pected to come up at the session as it
is expected that further action on the
question Of paving will be delayed
until next year.
1t has been suggested that on ac-
count Of all bids for the work having
been rejected at the last meeting of
the council it would be possible for
the city to proceed to pave at least
North Fourth street acting as its own
contractor. 1t is unlikely that this
will be done at the present time, how
ever. as it is felt that the. season is
already well advanced. and that it
would be better to wait until next
winter and make another effort to
get an advantageous bid.
If the bids continue to be too high
1t is then possible that the city may
undertake the work.

cember stfII Pending.

MEXICO CITY, March ls.-Resolutions
introduced In the Mexican Senate, but
not yet acted upon. In connection with
the League OF Nations project, were
published to-day. One resolution az
presses sympathy and admiration for
President Wilson. and the other de-
clares the Mexican Senate wishes that
the noble democratic proposals of Presi-
dent Wilson, which It admires and ap-
plauds. be realized, and manifests it's
desire that II II has the opportunity
the Mexican Republic form a part of the
proposed League of Nations"
Thus far these resolutions have been
the only expressions available IN any
way indicating Mexico's stand relative
to the proposed lea que. No official state
ments have been forthcoming
The resolution regarding the League
OF Nations was introduced December IS,
Just before the adjournment Of the Sem
ate upon the completion OF the first
half of the present session. Its appear
ance in print to-day was the first intl-
nation that such action had been pro-
tected officially, The lack OF n quorum
was given as the reason tho resolution
was not acted upon.
The news article carrying the text OF
the resolution quotes Juan Sanchez AZ.
coma. Senator from the Federal district
and chairman OF the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. as asserting that
the majority OF the Senate favors the
league and the participation OF Mexico
in It. Senior ACCOM- asserts also that
while he has no official ground for the
statement he is sure that the principles
OF the League OF Nations are in line
with the ideals maintained by Preslden,
Carranza.
