City Council Meets
The city councol met In special ses
sion Tuesday evening and passed to
a second reading the ordinance call
ing tho special election to vote pav
ing bonds. There wns some question
ns to whether or not an ordinance call
ing fo ra bond election should not lay
ovor for thirty days under the referen
dum act, and this together with tho re
quest that the park proposition bo sub
mitted with the paving proposition,
caused a postponement of the final
passage of the ordinance until the reg
ular meeting next Tuesday evening.
An estimate of expenses for tho fis
cal year beginning August 2nd, was

It Is believed that the system as pro

ly assist In taking care of the Hood
waters which at times flow through
this city. If this can bo proven, tho
city will bo asked to give financial
assistance In building the system.
Tho matter, however, Is yet In nn
indefinite shape, and the council could
therefore take no action.
Find More Carcasses.
While In the Brady section Wednes
day Sherift Salisbury and County At
torney Glbbs discovered tho car
casses of four more cattle. The throats
of the animals had been cut and tho

been stolen and evidently re-branded,
but fearing detection the thieves had
killed them. Tho carcasses of over
thirty head of cattle have been found
in this condition In the Drady vicin
