I' Dallas Begins Hearing
f- On Rerouting Car Lines
Houston I'ost Sperial.
;y DALLAS Texas Sept. 14 The citv
4 COmnitsMon Tuesday afternoon began
i heanrg on a proposal by the supervisor
H of public utilities to authorize the Iallas
1 Railway company to construct two blocks
J? Of rack in what is now the eastern edge
J of the business district of lalias. and re-
route two oi tne my t.t car lines via
toe new. mute eliminating direct service
on these lines to the western eml of the
5 S' business section which in the early day
of Dallas was the business center. The
: proposal has aroused more public iuter-
est than any street car question since the
adoption of the franchise the interest
; arising chiefly from the vigorous fight
on tne plan wbich is being wag-d by
-t. Business interests in' tne lower section
of the city. These merchants and prop
city owners have retained counsel to op
pose the plan in the hearing now umicr
way and threaten to contest in court the
'.. right of the suiiervisor to change to Ihi
route. Car patrons are largely in favor
of tne rerouting particularly under
i. compromise pian or routing nan tlie cars
Sj on the affected lines through town and
' S naif across town. The hearing probably
r W1U last two weeks
f One of the chjef benefits for the re
routing is tliat the traffic on the present
t loop has reached the saturation point and
J tnat tne city is growing eastward
J rapidly that many patrons are ic
; renienced by the present routing.

There is only one sure method. That is
lor the cotton belt through legislative
action to prevent the planting f an
Cotton forme year. The weevil can not
propagate its s-jcies unless it has cotton
plants to lay its eggs in. If there was
no cotton fur 01. e year the weevil would
