Following the attack on the pres-
jent city administration, Mr. Fehl
Signed, "A Prohibition j took up various phases of the work

tho lots themselves. In the event the
city endeavors to collect the assess
ments against the lots under the
Hanson plan, he claimed, the great
majority of these lots must be taken
over by the city for the taxes.
Mr. Kohl refuted statements that
ho Is a vacant lot holder, saying that
he holds no vacant lotH ou the pave
ment and neither are any held by
his Immediate family. He also stated,
that in the event the Medynskl
forces come into power ho will not
hold any city appointment, that he
would not take one were it offered
and that his entire motive is to help
the people of the city.
Following Mr. Fehl, K. V. Medyn

present plan being the same as that
snowed under a year ago, with the
exception that refund for paving as
sessments paid, will he made in war
rants instead of cash.
In the event that the Medynskl
plan is defeated at the coming Jan

be presented by initiative petition
