Arrangements for handling the
entire egg production of the Sinton
area has Jt>efn made by E. J.
Mutchler or the Sinton Feed & Seed
Store, he reported Wednesday.
Due to the urgent demand for an
egg market in Sinton in connection
with the Government’s request for
more egg production,' Miitehler has
been working on the proposition and
completed arrangements whereby
he will be able to supply a market-
ing place for the producers.
He stated that he would make
I'VSl'y effort to pay the best prices
possible commensurate with the
quality of the product.
Heretofore produce's have been
forced to haul a considerable part
of fheir eggs elsewhere because of
the fact there was no market for
handling the entire output, and as
a result not sufficient eggs were
marketed here to, fill the demand.
With full ’marketing facilities here
farmers and egg producers will find
it to their advantage to bring their
product to Sinton, both from an
economical as well as a material
standpoint. It will save transpor-
tation cost and time.

commissioners posts of the City of

race for mayor, Homer Martin and
M. F. Benson, and two men were op-
posing Sipes and Gordon for the
city commission, J. ,T, Johnson and
G. E.^Archerd. With this opposi-
tion interest ran high the past
several days which was probably
the reason for the heavy vote.

WPB Says No
Utility Line
Extensions
Extensions of utility lines are
practically prohibited by ‘the War
Production Board except in immedi-
ate defense areas,' Tom Gunter,
manager here for Central Power &
Light Company has been advised.
No electric, water, gas or sani-
tary sewer lines can be extended
more than 250 feet from point of
present lings without advance WPB
approval—and only one. extension
may be built to any single line in
any 90-dav period.
In defense areas so designated by
the Defense Housing Authority, ex-
tensions of more than 250 feet from
present lines may be possible tafter
application ha^i been made to and
granted by the WPB., Managgr
Gunter said.
The recent order, known as Pre-
ference Rating Order P-46, reduced
the distance permitted in making
extensions of electric and other
utility services in order to conserve
vital materials. Previously, exten-
sions up to 1,000’ feet were permitted
In addition a limit of $500 Ka.s been
set on the cost of all except under-
ground extensions. Reports have
indicated that extreme scarcity of
materials may soon bring a complete
ban on line extensions except to
rated projects.
Those who contemplate new con-
struction and intend to use electric
service are required to get in touch
with Central Power & Light Coin-
pany before completing . plans or
making any expenditure, in order
