The tlesire of a majority of the members of the city
council to further investigate the McCormick tract in
order to determine the feasibility of purchasing the land
resulted in the postponement of any action on the resolu
tion calling for a special bond issue election.
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

It seemed to take the concensus
of opinion of the councilmen th at
the land, if it would make a valu
able addition to the park, should
he purchased, but they desired to
go over the tract in order that
they m ight be certain in their be
lief th a t the land would make a
valuable addition to the city hold
ings.
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.
