others raiding the city and fashionable

were made around the stock exchange,

him and was frantically searching for

A sister of the little boy come down
and went with Officer Wilson to the
bridge and induced the boy to return
home in time for dinner.
While they were getting there, the
fridge man telephoned again that it
was difficult to keep the youngster, as
he was constantly trying to slip out on
the bridge to get across the river.
He was finally induced to control
his wanderlust for awhile at least.

PUTS UP CASH
Offers Meridian Funds TO Purchase
Carload Army Meat.

MERIDIAN, Miss, July S1.-An
offer of Cliff Williams of Meridian
to provide funds for the city with
which to purchase one or more car
loads of meat, bacon in cans, from
the government, has been accepted by
Mayor John NJ Dabney When the
meat is purchased it will be brought
to Meridian and sold by the city to
citizens at actual cost. after which
the money advanced by Mr.. Williams
will be returned to him. The offer was
made to the city following a pub
hshed statement of the mayor that
the city had no funds with which to
purchase supplies that were being of
fered by the government from the
surplus in the hands of the War De-
partment since the war has ended,
which might be disposed of ad-
vantageously to citizens owing to the
recent high price of such meat on the
market.

PEOPLE MAY VOTE
ON FIRE TRUCK
MATTER MAY BE SUBMIT
TED TO VOTE OF THE
PEOPLE
in AN ELECTION
Injunction Made Ready for I'm
mediate Process by Max
ing of Bond.

The movers in the injunction pro-
ceedings against the purchase of the
fire truck by the city wade ready for
their master offensive move the past
week.
They secured the necessary bond
and made the writ of injunction
ready for immediate process. The
injunction was authorized some days
ago by Judge Carroll and it has been
he'd up pending final decision to
launch its process.
But the final move will not be
made, it is believed. Attorneys for
the injunction movers say his clients
have been virtually assured that the
matter of the purchase Of the fire
truck viii be submitted to vote of
the people. This will entirely satisfy
the enjoiners, it is said, and if this
is done the injunction proceedings
will be withdrawn, and the people
will be allowed to settle the matter
in an election. The election will meet
all legal requirements, it is believed.
1t is said officials of the city gave
assurance to the enjoiners that the
matter would be satisfactorily dis
posed Of at the August meeting of
the council. The meeting is scheduled
for Tuesday night, but it is hardly
probable that any business viii be
transacted at that time as it viii be
election night
Those interested in the injunction
proceedings declare they are not OPP
posed to the purchase Of adequate
fire equipment for the city and aver
that their action was prompted by a
desire to condemn the method of
procedure in the purchase Of the La
France truck.
It was purchased at a special meet
ing of the council Wednesday night
after the council had passed a reso-
luton the night before TO take up
the matter the following Friday
night.
1t is believed the people viii over
whelmingly vote the purchase Of ade-
quate fire fighting equipment if the
matter is submitted to them in an
election.
The principal basis for the injune-
ton action was the State statute pro-
hibiting municipalities or county
boards from creating an interest
bearing oblirations without first sub
hitting the matter TO vote Of the
people.
