R ON COUNCIL
SE ---
I Municipal Ownership Fight
Revived By Martin;
Vote Due Next Week
1 ' The issue for municipal owner-
E ship of Fort Worth's gas utility
J E dangled anew at City Hall today.
Revived by Councilman Jerome
• C. Martin, who told City Council
that attempts to regulate the
E Lone Star Gas Co. sre futile, the
* question will be fought out and
; * brought to a vote next Wednes-
' X day, Mr. Martin said.
• Council adjourned with the
a proposal before it yesterday after
J fellow, left-wingers, Councilmen
5 W. J. Hammond and Arthur
■ Brown, joined Mr. Martin.
Not Now, Says Monnig.
E However, Councilman William
s Monnig, who led the gas fight
J four years ago, put himself on
• record as "against municipal
• ownership at this time,” and
“ Mayor Van Zandt Jarvis protested
: that the city "didn't have money
X to go into it."
• Dr. Hammond questioned Dr.
• W. R. Thompson:
X "If a company came into Fort
X Worth and offered to finance a
5 municipal system on revenue
• bonds, would you favor it?"
X Thompson: "There are too
# many things to consider, the
« source of supply, for instance."
- Hammond: "Would you favor
: Inviting some responsible person
- or group to finance a system?"
Thompson is Hesitant.
: Thompson: "I don’t know
• about it."
: Dr. Hammond then said the
• resolution, introduced by Mr. Mar-
X tin, "might be going too far—
; not for me, but for the rest of
• the Council,” and Mr. Martin of-
: fered to compromise the wording
: of his resolution to eliminate
• the tax feature of bonds.
J Councilman T. J. Harrell Indi-
cated he was willing to Invite a
financing proposal from outsiders,
. who would build a municipal sys-
* tern and take revenue bonds.
Wants Gas Supervision.
— = The municipal ownership issue
- arose after Council voted, on Dr.
1 Hammond's motion, to get price
quotations for equipment for de-
tecting carbon monoxide fumes
coming from ill-functioning gas
burners.
The councilman declared him-
self sold on the idea that the city
should employ a gas supervisor
and said that the Lone Star is not
giving the best service, by com-
parison with the U. 8. Bureau of
Standards requirements.
Mortimer Jones, gas engineer,
appearing before Council, declared
that leaks from gas meters In-
stalled under floors are a serious
fire and explosion hazard.
* He asked Council to order that
Lone Star remove all meters
from beneath floors and induct
an odor into all gas lines at inter-
vals so that consumers could de-
tect gas leaks.
Council referred the engineer's
reports on gas deaths to Fire
Marshal Claude Ligon and to offi-
cials of the Lone Star, after Mr.
Monnlg declared that Council
“ought to get to the other side
of those cases."

Outer Garments Taken As They
Sleep on Courthouse Lawn
You're not safe anywhere these
days.
So concluded six CCC boys to-
day as they continued on to their
New Orleans homes.
They arrived here yesterday
and looked about for a safe
place to spend the night. They
finally decided on the Courthouse
lawn. Plenty of other fellows, in-
cluding a Mexican, were lying
nearby. Street lights chased away
dark shadows.
After a good night's sleep, the
boys awoke this morning to find
all their outer clothing gone. So
was the 'sleeping Mexican.
They were given more clothes
by the Salvation Army.

Hemorrhoids
Go Quick
Don't Suffer Pile Misery, Doctor's
Internal Remedy Guaranteed
Thousands of sufferers from piles here
learned that quick and lasting relief can
be accomplished with an internal medi-
cine. Neither salves nor suppositories re-
move the cause.
Bad circulation of the blood in the lower
bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby,
the bowel walls weak—the parts lifeless.
To end Piles an internal medicine should
M used to stimulate the circulation, and
restore the affected parts.
Dr. J. •. Leonhardt was the first to
discover a real internal Pile remedy. He
called his prescription HEM-ROID, and
prescribed it for hundreds of patients
with a marvelous record of success end
then decided every Pile sufferer should
be able to get HEM ROID tablets from
their own druggist with a rigid money
back guarantee.
