NUNC CALLS B L Special Election for May 23 on Ques tion of Issiiinn $300,000 in Bonds for the Construction of a Railroad to Blue Ledfle Mine Another Elec tion Upon Proposed Contract. Am Important biislaess transaction wae concluded officially by the city council laat night when Its members voted unanimously the paaeaKa ot u resolution ealltiiK for n special elec tion on May S3 on the question of Is suing $300,000 In bonds to enable the city of Med ford to participate In the construction of a railroad to tho lllue !.dge mine, thirty mllo dtatant from the present tormlRH" of thi Hullls electric line; and also tn en acting a charier amendment, subject to the popular approval of the peo ple of thu city at said election, provid ing the means legallr to tako port In the construction of such road. At the conclusion of the first read ing of the resolution and charter amendment City Attornny MeCabo suggested that the provision for thn submission of the final contract to n vote of the peoule, lnatead ot loavlng It wholly to the city council, should Iih Hlimlnated; that he saw in It a poaalble source of embarrassment should anyone care to delay the con- Humiliation of the plan. Ilowuvor, thn provision was retained. I .n it; o Audience Applauded. On the third reading of tho docu ment each memhar of tko council voted affirmatively In spporont good cheer. They appeared to bo roltuvcd appreciably when the final responsi bility In the enterprise was shifted to the shoulders of ihe people, who will be required to ratify by popular voto the contract with the party or par ties who may subbmlt the most rip provable proposition for the perform ance of the work. The people, on the other hand, Judging by expresaiona thla morning, are quite willing to assume that re sponsibility. They will, either col lectively or through a committee o( business meu, carefully consider alt proposed contracts and recommend to the people, as well aa to the coun cil, the one that commends Itself most favorably to them. The coun cil, also, no doubt, appreciate thla assistance, for Its members new ap liear to lie anxious to give the peo ple full voice and choice in the mat ter. The only regrettable feature of the provision in queatlon Is seen In the fact that It will delay final ac tion on the contract two or three weeks. Coiiiii'IIiiuiii llai-gmte's .Wimuire.
