M 'LENDON PLANS TO DISCUSS ISSUE Il BONDS IN FALL
Auditorium Contract Must First Be Awarded, He
 Says Friday

Advisability of a bond issue in the neighborhood of s7oo.ono will be placed before the city commission for discussion by President D. E. McLen- don as soon as the contract for the auditorium is awarded.
 There are a number of matters pressing for attention and action" !" said Mir. McLendon Friday, and If they are necessities nothing can be gained by waiting. Probably the in- cinerator question will be decided during the discussion, and if the com mission favors installing them, they will be cared for in the bond issue, If additional bonds are to be floated."
 MT McLendon said that money must be raised to buy seats and other equipment for the auditorium, an or gan should be placed in the structure, and money Is needed to finance the widening of First avenue.
 Another improvement expected to be covered in the bond issue, if it Is decided to issue bonds, is buying three aditional lots to add to the open space opposite the new municipal market on Third avenue, clearing and leveling the property, placing com crete walks In it and providing shel- ter over the walks and possibly other spaces.
 Until the cost of the auditorium is settled, in the awarding of the con tract to build it. and estimates of the other items are made, the size or the suggested bond issue will not be known definitely. The considered cost of incineration installation is $45,o00, which, with other improve ments contemplated, will take the sum needed far over the S6oo,ooo mark.
 Should a bond issue be decided on, MT. McLendon said. the action would be taken on it this fall.
