Meeting Not Tile special meeting tonight Is not required by law, according to City Counsellor Manning, since the statute gives the mayor until the next regular meeting of the council to sign or veto a measure passed by the council, but decision to call the meeting was reached by Mayor Hamilton Friday night after considering the matter during the day.

The contract passed by the council provides that water shall be furnished by the company at the same price paid in Alton.

The ordinance was presented after the council on two occasions had reversed itself, and after proponents of the contract plan and the municipal plant project had piesented their cases.
