termine whether $16,000 in notes shall

The election passed off very quietly
and the result is greatly gratifying to
those who see in the ice plant not only
n great convenience as such, but as the
means of providing cold storage facil
ities which should prove a great bless
ing to the city and country.

There are few cities in the state of
Monroe’s size and importance but what

smaller than Monroe have long bad
such an enterprise.
