not met as yet to make any recommendation as to any one Engineer.
Councilman Woodson stated that he did not consider that there
was anything before the Council at this time -, inasmuch as the petit,i,ons
recently filed had been ruled out by the City Attorney and the Council
itself could not call another election for the bonds unless requested - so
to do by proper petitions.
Mr. C. B. Jessen., representing the petitioners, stated that it was
-his understanding that the Council would appoint an engineer to assist
the Board of Public Works in preparing facts and figures in order to
have definite information on which to circulate the new petitions.

$1000.00 to obtain such information and he saw no reason why such report'
could not serve'as the basis for any desired information.
