Council Meeting
Aside from the allowing of bills, no action of record was taken at the council meeting Monday evening
The water-works bond issue, voted at the election last week, has not yet been made. It will be made in a very short time, as soon as definite plans can be matured. A great many propositions from engineers and others are being received, and also inquires from bond dealers as to when the bonds will be put on the market.
The electric light question is being held in abeyance until the water-works problem is definitely settled, but from letters being received it is evident that there will be plenty of competition for putting in the plant when the electric light negotiations are opened.
