R M ÏI0 N CALLING a The passage <pf a motion, calling upon the city at torney to prepare a resolution calling for a special bond issue election, to cover the purchase of the Chautauqua building and site, and the purchase of the seventeen acre tract of land, known as the McCormick tract, to be used for park purposes, was the big item of business transacted at the regular meeting of the city council last night. These two purchases will be placed on separate ¿daces on the ballot, according to the terms o f the motion. The special committee, appointed at the last meet ing of the council by Mayor Johnson, to inspect the build ing and make recommendations upon which to base the actions of the council, reported that the city should pur chase the building, but that the bond issue should not ex ceed eight thousand*dollars. They stated in their belief that the city should take over the building, and later, when more funds are available, it could then be improved. This action comes as the result of agitation started t wo weeks ago, and carried on by the various civic <and booster organizations of the city, Although, for several weeks it has been known the building was about to pass into private hands, no action was taken until concerted action was started in stirring the matter up. Clashes between Mayor Johnson and his council over the appointment of men to the offices of Chief of Police and Street Commissionre became apparent again last l ight when the council flatly refused to ratify Mayor Johnson’s appointments to these offices. E. C. Fraley’s appointment to the office of Street (Commissioner were voted down, Burdic, Peters and Detrick voting against the ratification, while in the case of. J. W. Hatcher, John son’s appointee to the office of Chief of Police, Peters, Detrick and Wright refused to ratify the appointment.
