Alderman McCall persisted in demand- ing immediate action on his resolution. Wanted It Put on Ice. Alderman James arose and coldly moved that the resolution be referred to the committee on refrigeration, and the resolution was lald over to be acted upon later in the session, The Board of Hducation and other clty departments sent communications to the Board requesting permission to purchase coal In the open markets and forego the regular procedure of re- questing bids for coal supplles.
