The pew scale would be designed
to raise the tariff when wholesale
sugar prices are low and to lower
the levy when prices are high.
Generally, it expected to keep th"

The city's entering the ice man-

the ettinens on June 16. 1928. when
they voted 968 to 385 in favor of
the project in a referendum elec-
tion. It was proposed to erect an
ice plant at a cost of approximate-
ly 850,000. to be financed by issu-
ing revenue bonds agairvlt the
plant and arfainst the municipal
water and light plant if additional
revenue should be needed.
Injunction Secured
A temporary injunction was se-
cured by the Home Ice Company
on the eve of the city's letting a
contract for erection of a building
to house the water and light plant
and the proposed lee plant. The
I temporary Injunction was issued
here on Jan. 5, 1929, and was made
permanent on Jan 18 after a hear-
ing before Judge Ben W Boyd of
18th District Court.
A similar injunction suit was fil-
ed in Federal District Court at
Texarkana on Jan. 19 by the
Louisiana Ice A Utilities Company,
which owned two ice plants here,
but at a hearing there Judge W.
L. Estes declined to act in the case.
