Upon petition of the park commissioners the proposi tion for the issuance of bonds to the amount of $4500* was to have been placed upon the ballot, separated from the .proposition calling for the issuance of $8000 in bonds for the purchase of the Chautauqua building. At the reading of the resolution last night, the word ing which called for the recommendation of the council that the bonds he voted held up the action. A majority of the council decldVed they could not recommend a prop osition with which thev were not conversant, and there fore, before any ballot was taken they declared they de sired more time in which to investigate the tract. Mayor Johnson then declared he would have the njeeting ad journed subject to a call from him, and immediately after the meeting, called for another session to he held next Jackson County Dele gation Thursday evening.

According to the term s of the resolution, the election is to be called sometime in February. Therefore, should the council be forced to wait until the next regu- lnr m eeting it « p a id be almost impossible to carry out the legal „oil procedure necessary to the call ing of the election. It was for this reason th a t Mayor Johnson announced the next session. The resolution calls for the voting of eight, one thousand dol lar bonds for the purchase of the Chautauqua building, these bonds to be retired in ten years, while for the purchase of the McCor mick tract, nine, five thousand dollar bonds are to be issued, these also to be payable in ten years. The interest on these bonds is not to exceed six per cent.
